Looks like aerowinx is back with a vengeance!

Whoa.

Nice,but is it on a CRT monitor?It looks really clear :)

Very nice. About time, too!Even the printer is simulated! Good God

My first complex simulator. Completely forgot they we're doing a new version :)

Is this for FSX or some other platform?

Stand alone platform.

I can't even count how many hours I did with PS1. Nice to see Hardy's work wasn't vaporware. PS1 was my first intro to PMDG... (They supplied an additional manual at the time)

Yeah check out his website aerowinx.deI think the graphics are super smooth! Nice screen wipers even! And what is that? A fancy looking weather radar!

It's ALIVE! Very, very impressive programming and artwork. Good to see this back on the market. Rhydian Yeoman

Might want to have a second look at the left side of that NAV display. I distinctly remember it saying "TERR."

It does say TERR, but that sweep looks like a RADAR sweep to me. However, it's more of a system simulator (or was), so not much to see outside if its TERR or WXR.

Though he does have a working weather radar.

The outside graphics ("terrain") looks promising, considering.

The new incarnation of the Aerowinx Precision Simulator does appear to be a true masterpiece, but it's important to understand that is is a completely stand-alone simulation of just one aircraft - the 747-400. Though the "out the window" graphics will probably be better than those of the original (MS-DOS) PS1, they will still be rather limited, mainly depicting runways only.That being said, it's my understanding that interfacing options will be included to make it possible to use FS9/FSX, X-Plane, and others as scenery engines. PS1 users have already been doing this for years using a variety of add-on programs written by various members of the PS community.One interesting fact: The new version is being written in Java, and should be platform independent, making it possible to run it under Windows, Mac and Linux. Hardy is using a Mac as his main development platform.It's still probably many months from release, but if the Alpha video above is anything to go by, it will be well worth the wait!

Looking forward to this new iteration. I've never bought into the $10.0 x 10^6 dollars cost of developing a new sim.Why? because many of the brilliant inovations over time, did not start a a multi-something dollar investment.If you've got the skills, you still need to think strategicaly. Start with a reasonable core and expand alone or with outside helpin collaboration.Look at this guy: http://www.raspberrypi.org/I am onboard with this: he'll be cleaning up with this, I think.I'll be waiting for the release of Aerowinx Precision simulator X ready to buy at release!
