Most trainning centers around the world have expensive Level D CAE simulators for various fleets.It's still early to know exactly what they're up to, but it would be great to have a PC-based airliner "game" from CAE...

Thanks, JC, interesting post. That would liven up the market a bit, for sure.MarkMark "Dark Moment" BeaumontVP Fleet, DC-3 AirwaysTeam Member, MAAM-SIM[a href=http://www.swiremariners.com/cathayhk.html" target="_blank]http://www.paxship.com/maamlogo2.jpg[/a]

Looks interesting, but sorry: Don't read French.RTH

That would be wonderful, but I have to wonder if this market would represent enough potential for them. They are accostum to making megabucks in a megabuck market. Not relatively low priced PC software.Rob

Translate the web page on babelfish.

But you cant translate it here.http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/trJust cut paste that french link and put it under "Translate a Web page", then select "french to english".Manny

Who says it will be low priced?

I would imagine if they offered a personal version of their sim it would be at least 30% more expensive than Elite's offerings.

Wow. That's great news. I am look for a lot of system/damage simulation.

You think MS didn't make mega buck from FS9? They are top notch in aircraft and systems modeling, I doubt they can bring in realistic offline ATC. They might come up with a simulator with no traffic and ATC at all and let the best of in the trade (UT and RC) to provide them.

I don't think you've seen the promotional videos CAE has done for their professional line of products.

You can translate to whatever language you want right from internet explorer.TOOLS ---> TRANSLATE ----> Select your languageVery Easy!Scott :-)

I don't have that option in my tools menu.

Ugh, CAE has been doing PC based sims for quite some time. It is called their "Simfinity" Line:http://www.cae.com/www2004/Products_and_Se...nity/vsim.shtml

Alaska airlines has about 20 stations CBT of their Simfinity line.wait for it...$3,940US per station based on bulk order with carrier discout in 2004.this is very much inline with upper end professional software.
