Please see:http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060728/ap_on_...virtual_cockpitDespite appearances, it is nothing like a video game, Honeywell Vice President Robert Smith said in an interview."This is not Microsoft Flight Simulator," he said.Ouch!!!Well, then, I suggest that we not bother to model the new Honewell Synthetic Vision System in Flight Simulator. Not a boycott, just to generally ignore them. Put the Collins unit in there instead. Just a suggestion to the FS Team for the next version (FS XI?).Best regards.Luis

I'd take that as a compliment to the realism we've seen with the sim...LOL.

Well.....The MSFS mountains don't turn red when you get too close!Must be the difference! :-hah I sure like this technology though. I seen a video of a test, where the pilot made a precision instrument landing with no additional approach plates. But, as the article states, pilots can't get lulled into situations they shouldn't be in.L.Adamson

I posted a link to this in the Hanger because I got a kick out of that one line!Hope this helps,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/Active Sky V6 Development Team Active Sky V6 Proud SupporterHiFi Beta TeamRadar Contact Supporter: http://www.jdtllc.com/AirSource Member: http://www.air-source.us/FSEconomy Member:http://dot.kelder.net:8080/fseconomy/

No worry's about it at all. Since, Gulfstream has consistently refused permission to anyone who's asked, it's a moot issue.OTOH, I also read that as a compliment to FS, not an insult. I was just thinking in a reply to another programmer that if one could somehow get FS95 to run in the background, and 'capture' the 'straight ahead spot view' for use in an FSX PFD... it would look very similar to their image of the new system... ;)

Or you could get all this at a fraction of the cost- today - what I use in my airplane-including all current charts,xm weather, and heads up display-running on a tablet pc!http://www.flightprep.com/rootpage.php?page=HomeEFBSWhttp://mywebpages.comcast.net/geofa/pages/rxp-pilot.jpg
