It has been a real pleasure being able to read the blogs by a few of the team members on the FS development team. It looks to me, that they are definitely doing what they can to make us aware of what goes on behind the scenes. And to also let us know they see what we want, and the problems we encounter, then they give us an idea of whether that can be done in the next version, or perhaps why it is that way in the first place.For me it really has opened my eyes to the development process, and allows me in a small way to get to know the guys on the FS DEV team. They are a bunch of cool guys, doing something they really enjoy. For me that puts a whole new light on the product and the minds behind it.I for one am very greatful, and hope to see even more insight from the team. And guys if you read this, thanks so much for the opportunity to 'see' a little more!! RegardsJay

Hey, Our own Peter and Geoff A. got mentioned. You're famous, guys!http://blogs.technet.com/hal9000/Tony=http://www.flightsim-bevs.com]

And it would appear that I got "pwned" by Mike Gilbert on the subject of DirectX versions and how the sim takes advantage of the GPU...

Yes, great to see isn't it. I have all the teams blogs linked (as of now) on my own blog. www.nickwhittome.comThe ACES team are, I can 100% assure you, commited to working closer with the community. I, for one, am delighted :)

Yeah, it's kinda neat.

And for those of you wondering if there will be an FS10, I'll quote:"One last thing I want to do is clear up some confusion about whether people work on multiple projects when they're not working on FS. Apparently there are those who think when we ship a version of Flight Sim we go off and work on Excel or something. Eek! Could you imagine the chaos that would create? Yes, in theory we're all capable of moving between teams but that's usually only when we decide we're ready for something new. No, the FS team is fairly static. When we ship one version we move on to the next."Thomas
