Actually probably not a bad idea at all.

Oh, thanks, they look superb. The runway texture is very nice.Next Q. The note on your site says something about AI being available for FS2004 in October. October of what year?Michael J.WinXP-Home SP2,AMD64 3500+,Abit AV8,Radeon X800Pro,36GB Raptor,1GB PC3200,Audigy 2http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/747400.jpg

Is it only me to whom this looks like as if I were sitting in a go-cart ? The feeling of being a few metres/yards above the runway doesn't really emerge.Cheers,Siggy

The problem I see, is that MS does not generally improve things, when there are already existing addon programs which do what some want. All the things you want for flight plans, already exist in FSnavigator including the SID/STAR's. Radar Contact is another good program which does a lot others want. Many talk about buying addon aircraft, I'd rather spend my money on programs like these, and have what I want now.To me it makes no sense for MS to build these features or others into the FS, when they can spend their time improving areas where nothing exists. You also then put these excellent programmers out of business. They may be more likely to buy them out, to include the features than to create them themselves. Like they bought Artwick's company, and put him to work for them, to have the FS to begin with. Then, everyone wins!Bob

I really hate to add to this post but to air my feelings goes like this. Whatever MS does, if the ATC does not get a major overhaul I will most likely stick with F9. Mainly for the reason that the only thingthat FS9 really needs to me to be at the platform of enjoyable is just better ATC.There are a lot of other things both big and small that could use improving (not to say that they are not good but theres always room for improvement) but mostly I just can't stand the poor ATC. Not bashing it just its the one thing that holds back the sim now to mee.I always thought of how great it would be to always be a version behind on thte sim. Discounted sim and possible addons and up to 2 years better technology on the computer. Imagine still fling FS2002 on a state of the art computer right now.Its not the cost but the fact that FS9 is a great sim or at least great enough not to go and start all over unless the things I want to see improved on are done.I really would like to see other things like Pilot controlled lighting, the return of the static on the frindges of receiving a signal and more dialetic from around the world but mostly a major overhaul in the ATC. Meaning proper spacing, better movement of traffic, better use of traffic calls inflight, FSS for GA traffic and Unicom for fuel orders.Where I would really like FS to go is a base install and the ability to purchase updates individually. Example would be to buy FS and a year later there are updates for auto-gen or atc or weather and the user can purchase them or not and about every 4 years theres a complete new version. Like FS addons to the core code from MS.Kilstorm
