Microsoft Corp and Lockheed Martin are pleased to announce the development of a new 64 bit flight simulator provisionally named FS3D. Scheduled for release in the second quarter of 2016 FS3D will feature ultra sharp terrain textures coupled with high definition terrain mesh giving a jaw dropping realism. 
FS3D will feature 30 all new high resolution aircraft all built around our new flight dynamics engine APRFOL, All Parameter Realistic Flight Overscan Logic. Developed over the last three years with aerospace engineers from Lockheed Martin and NASA APRFOL brings the sensation of flight to your living room. 
Each aircraft has been licensed and tested by the relevant manufacturer to be within 10% of it real flight envelope giving you the opportunity to experience 10% of real world flight. Every aircraft from our beautiful hand glider up to the International Space Station features our custom designed full function FMC and advanced autopilot. 
From the outset FS3D had been designed with online flight in mind and to achieve this we have created our own global live ATC network. To ensure 24 hour coverage and excellent standards of English we have converted a call center in Mumbai to be our ATC control centre. Our controllers will not only be able to provide excellent ATC but also upgrade your cell phone plan and advise you on health insurance.
Our advance global scenery system maps ultra high definition mesh from across the globe, except Holland where access to elevation data has been limited by the government. Due to this Holland will remain flat in the simulation.
Scheduled for release on April 1st 2016 FS3D will be the new standard in flight simulation and today we are proud to show you an very early teaser screenshot. http://bit.ly/1xVOOsD

Nice April fools, lol. You almost had me for a second.

You lost me at Microsoft Corp

It HAD to happen.. :Whistle:

If only it would mow my yard... :huh:

except Holland where access to elevation data has been limited by the government. Due to this Holland will remain flat in the simulation.

 

 

Never reveal negative indicators to the outside world. Even if these are elevation datas.

Our controllers will not only be able to provide excellent ATC but also upgrade your cell phone plan and advise you on health insurance.

 

Almost had me hooked until I read that line! Good one.
