. . . and you can play terrorist hijacking other player's aircraft or doing other nasty things to them.First, Internet control of other computers has been here for quite some time using free and payware products as long as your remote pc is on line to communicate.Second, I would not want to risk having my personal pc on-line without me being present to monitor what is going on due to malicious hackers causing havoc. I would have really secure firewalling on it. It would have to be a dedicated pc without potentially damaging personal content on it and while accepting remote comm it would definitely be disconnected from my household internal net. Often security applications also slow up communications to make remote sessions too slow for real-time control such as required for FS to make it useful.Third, unless you are your own boss I don't think your manager would appreciate your time on personal entertainment.Finally, many parameters for remote wandering connections are dynamicly assigned making firewall permissive connections based on IP address difficult.Oh, and don't forget to turn on your remote controled oven to heat up your dinner when on the road home via your portable whatever comm device.

Well, my smart phone has (I think) a 400MHz processor and a 2" screen. If MSFT can make FS even run on that I'd buy it just for the novelty!
