FSX makes the big time!

[Guest PPSFA]

I have been making videos using FS for years for a company that does recurrent and safety training for corporate flight depts.I noticed a while back that AOPA started using FS as well on their websiteNow, ABC News used it tonight when talking about the AA Jamica crash! Looks like others are finding real world uses for our favorite sim, if it's good enough for ABC, it's good enough for me! :(

Do you by chance have any video of the news segment?

I watched the videos at abc and all I saw was Google Earth being shown once.

I didn't tape it but it was on the 6:30 nightly news on TV, not their website.

I saw the video, and it was Microsoft Flight Simulator X including a label indicating so. Not the quality I've seen from fellow simmers and slide-show framerates.

Did they have GEX, UTX, FEX, REX 2.0, FS Genesis Active Sky Advanced, PMDG, Level-D, Captainsim, FSdreamteam, Fly Tampa and all the rest installed? :(

They didn't have ASA installed???How could they possibly recreate the weather in Kingston at the time of the crash?

Did you also happen to notice the ABC News headline:"FSX . . . good enough to simulate a crash!!!" :( That was left wide open and I just couldn't resist the poke. . .

We also don't know which OS ABC was using: XP, Vista, 7, and with which Service Packs, and at 32 or 64bit? Then, of course, there's also the usual hardware and tuning issues to consider as well!
