February 7, 200917 yr http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7874937.stmI found a few interesting words in there."My guess is that Microsoft will now licence the code to a third party developer and then cross that "cash bridge" when they come to it." Interesting...Also, most interesting, is this one:"Microsoft announced a sequel to MS Train Simulator back in 2003. A year later, they shelved the project. Three years later, they announced a new version, that too was cancelled."I think this gives us an indication as to what is in store for Flight Simulator.He seems to be hinting that there will be no more future MSFS releases, but I'm not too sure...Let me know what you think!Thanks.

February 7, 200917 yr There was a job listing by microsoft for a new position in flight simulation jan 30th. just a few days after they fired the ACES team. Also one guy at the ACES team got his job back at Microsoft and he said he has the same job, but he is doing something for a product that hasn't been mentioned yet so virtually "it doesn't exist". I think we may have a new Flight Sim, and I mean cleaned up code or a new engine. See You In The Skies...gman!"Impossible things are simply those which so far have never been done." - Elbert Hubbard
