Hi Thomas,thanks for your clarifications.Am I wrong or was this post of yours the first and only kind of official MS statement in any FS forum?Wolfgang

I had NO problems filling up the survey.... all went finePortugal

HiThank you for your patience.The survey is now up and running again.http://www.microsoft.ie/survey/Regards,Thomas

Dang, and I was hoping for a freebie at the end, lol. Well, being able to voice my opinion is good enough!

Worked for me.Good mix of questions, IMHO, if Microsoft really takes them into consideration some good may come out of it...And I (being a European of course :D ) think it is valid to take a closer look at European opinions, as it is probably the biggest market after the US and was a little neglected up to now (European aircraft? Accuracy in European scenery?).If that could change, it would be a nice step.And then Asia for FS2008. :DHappy flying.

Can a survey really convey what the community wants? Arent the topics in this forum detailed enough ?

Great stuff! Thanks for getting the working link up so soon. I've now added my two-penneth from here in the UK.It's good and refreshing to see that Microsoft actually DOES care about what WE think...too many anti-Microsoft lobbyers around.Thanks :)

>Can a survey really convey what the community wants? Arent>the topics in this forum detailed enough ?Well, as we know, Microsoft also reads these forum, but doing that is often a tedious business.A survey can give you a much better summary, and a few good rough guidelines.

I just did the survey. This time it worked. But at earlier occasions I got a message telling me that this survey is not open.

Thank you Thomas. I just completed the survey.J.J.JJ StruyfBraine-L'AlleudBelgiumhttp://jdtllc.com/images/RCsupporter.jpg

Well the survey puts to death any rumours of FS9 being the last new edition. I wonder if the survey means that FS10 is well into the planning stage and that MS need a good way of finding out what users are really looking for or perhaps it means that planning hasn't even started and that FS10 will be later than we thought. I'm sure we'll find out in good time.

Well if they had no plans they didnt start the survey I think. They are probably doing it already as they have planned, but we can push them a bit this way.

Victor,Development of FS is more or less continuous. As one version is released work starts on the next. Rumours that FS2004 would be the last were plainly silly and I, as well as many others here, never took that rumour seriously.I don't know what stage of development FS2006 has reached but clearly Microsoft believes that customer opinion is useful and to that end I was happy to complete the survey. Let's hope they continue to court opinion with all future versions. It can only be mutually beneficial.I don't expect to see FS2006 on the shelves much before autumn 2005.Cheers,

I hear the FS team reads the forums, but I've always wondered if they were not under Microsoft if they could talk to us. Seems like a one way street.
