Whew !

More on the next FS from Microsoft via AVSIM

Quote:

'In a communication received from representatives of Microsoft Game Studios late yesterday, AVSIM was informed that 'the next instalment of the Flight Simulator franchise' is forthcoming, with a projected release date of Q4 2006. This information was released in response to the inaccurate release date published in US magazine PC Gamer's February edition; AVSIM delayed its publication of this note from MGS until it had verified that this information could be released to the public.'

Personally I am quite pleased about this as my next computer upgrade is scheduled for Q4 2006 anyway. Hopefully Q4 will mean Q4 world wide - as Australia frequently seems to lag behind US and Europe when it comes to Microsoft releases - I think we were a couple of months behind with FS2004 [on another subject XBox 360 will be released here in March - long after its northern release].

Something nice to look forward to anyway.

Being involved in the add-on side of things the SDK is almost as important to me as the main product. Hopefully it will be ready around the same time as FS X.
