In honor of April Fools' Day, and all of the good speculation taking place on the MS Flight forum, I would love to hear any good April Fools' Day announcements that any of you might have regarding MS Flight. For starters, here is mine:Aces Studios, creators of Microsoft Flight Simulator series, and Laminar Research, creators of X-Plane, announce merger and creation of X-Flight.

A new tweak discovered to allow FSX to run at 500 fps on a pentium 4 system with sliders on full at London Heathrow in a thunderstorm.I know this is the Flight forum and not FSX but I couldn't resist.Ed.

Not Flight related either, but PMDG had a good one this moring stating that "Boeing purchased a controlling share in PMDG". http://forum.avsim.net/topic/331558-ngx-release-temporary-hold-due-to-boeing/

So will PMDG be changing it's name now to BMDG? :-)Just in on the wire:The Gigabyte MGM - Monster Gaming Motherboard Gigabyte to release a cinematic MGM - Monster Gaming Motherboard with 24 PCIe slots designed specifically for FSX hard-core simmers desiring up to 24 x 6 = 144 screens (ATI Eyefinity cards required):If you see a frog, click hereCheers,- jahman.

I just found a new unknown tweak that will actually kick FSX up to 13 frames per second going into JFK with full sliders, on my over-clocked I7-990X !Bob - Las Cruces, NM.... PS - Sorry Edspace.... I missed your post before writing this one....Great minds.....

(AP Wire) Redmond, Seattle, April 1, 2011Microsoft has just announced the free download availability of Service Pack 3 for Flight Simulator X, a complete re-write of the popular gaming franchise that has mesmerized millions since 1982.The release of Service Pack 3 adds many badly-needed features to Flight Simulator X, such as full utilization of dual and quad GPU video solutions, elimination of stutter and blurries, as well as all out-of-memory errors cured once and for all due to 64-bit compilation.In addition, flight simulation enthusiasts who are real-world pilots will welcome impending Federal Aviation Administration approval to log time under Flight Simulator X, as Service Pack 3 can now be configured to utilize the aerodynamics engine of X-Plane 10 by Laminar Corporation (a Columbia, South Carolina corporation) simply by running X-Plane 10 in a hidden window, thanks to FSUIPCATD v. 1.0, a new piece of software wizardry by Pete Dowson (a U.K. Corporation).Service Pack 3 was found by accident on a DVD while checking the desk drawers of fired ACES staff prior to desk disposal at a recycling center.-0-
