AVSIM's Maury Pratt was at the preview of the next release of FS today in Seattle. He has a lot of screenshots and copious notes of the preview they had today. He will be reporting on that and providing a great number of screen shots starting tomorrow night. Look for an initial brief report and then further detail on Wednesday.

I greatly enjoy the fact that MS has opened up with outside parties like Avsim to work with in promoting and cordinating their efforts in creating newer versions of Flight Sim. Thanks for the heads up Tom. Look forward to what Maury can inform us with.Kilstorm

Hmm, I wonder what the interface looks like! etc.LoLCYAPS: Begin waiting phase ........ NOW :-)
