It sounds like a big convention, I wonder why Avsim hasn't said anything about this yet. I wonder if Microsoft will be there.Jeff

the fact that it's sponsored by competitors may have something to do with it :)

I had an idea that might be the case, hopefully some cool products will be unveiled at this convention.Jeff

This will be an event you will NOT want to miss!!" "Microsoft is the official sponsor of IFC 2005, and we can announce that there will be one or two big surprises in store that you just can't afford to miss." "We are Very Excited to announce that the Development Manager from Aces Studio USA will present a 1 hour talk on both days from the Microsoft stage called ' The Making of Flight Simulator' this will cover the process of creating Microsoft Flight Simulator and how advances in technology influence their abilities to create advanced simulation programmes, This is NOT to be missed as this is the first time this talk will have ever been given..
