Well, that didn't take long. Bill Gates announced the next version of Flight Simulator last night during his keynote speech at CES and today FSPlanet has some exclusive shots of the game and a FAQ with the developers. Of note:
- They are "adding a new mission-based element to give
fans a more objective driven experience with a sense of progression and skill development."
- "While Flight Simulator X will not require Windows Vista, it will be optimized for the latest in Windows gaming hardware and fans will get the best experience by running on Windows Vista."
- "For the first time Flight Simulator will ship on DVD only."
- "Backwards compatibly with
existing 3rd party content is and has always been a priority..."

A customer asked me to install this train simulator on his computer once. I tried it out and it was the most boring thing I've ever played
I was going to comment on how boring flight simulators are, but then I remembered that godawful train "game"

I can't wait until they just integrate Flight Sim with actual satelite data, so you can really fly over your house.

Admiral Ackbar > That sounds sweet actually. May get me interested in flight sims which I haven't played since the Amiga days.

Looks really... detailed. I'll get ready for it by taping a picture of a Cessna to my monitor while running Google Earth.
