Is there a patch put out by microsoft for FS9? I see various patches for add-ons when I do a search....but nothing from MS. Thanks in advance, Bill.

go to MS FS9 site: http://www.microsoft.com/games/flightsimulator/ you can d/l the update from there.

Did you look at the MSFS page?http://www.microsoft.com/games/flightsimulator/

I have a couple of their free Weatherscapes which look really good. Other than that I'm sure it's too early to get viewpoints (didn't it just come out tody?) I'd say give it a week before you start seeing feedback.
