This is the first time I have seen MS refer to the next FS as Flight Simulator 2006. Perhaps we should now change to talking about FS2006 rather than FSX? I know the X stands for 10 as in FS10 but FS2006 seems more professional.http://www.avsim.com/pages/robertw/FSX/airport.jpg

Hi,I also prefer Fs2006 or Fs10 to FsX. I guess because I'm not really an Extreme kinda guy. I like computers, not bunjee-jumping etc.!!Hoping for the name to be Fs2006 (although very unlikely),P.

That shot is cool! I'm gonna have to start flying the jets more often withall that extra service. Theres actually one of those trucks that does thepushback thing. I wonder if there will be a feature to get power fromthe airport and then disconnect and go to batteries.The avsim preview showed MANY more parking spaces. its going to getfairly hectic at the larger airports (or at least it might).

Right on. But whatever they decide to call it, i'm gonna buy it!Nice picture anyway :)---edit: didn't read the preview until now, so found the rest of the pictures :) And I see my workplace is one of the pictures (copenhagen airport).---

That FS2006 pic looks completely different from other FSX pics i have seen, and with real airline names, i doubt it.

The pic is from AVSIM's official tour of ACES studio'shttp://www.avsim.com/pages/robertw/FSX/FS-X.htmAfter looking at the review and in particular 'the box', you can see that only FSX is shown on the box:http://www.avsim.com/pages/robertw/FSX/FSX_Deluxe.jpgSo either MS are going with the FSX in the future or the box art will change to Flight Simulator 2006?Who knows... Only time will tell.

The box also says PC CDROM software, thats weird if it is to contain two dvd

& it's clear to me the product is still in beta 'cause the airline they use for the pic (sobelair) is bankrupt :)Jeroen

Everybody has this one covered but just thought I'd add a worthless note. If it was going to be FS2006 or FS06 as I'd do it then it would actually be time for FS07 not FS06. :)On a slightly more serious note... has anybody noticed that the "FS06 shot" looks to be shot off of a poster. My guess is that it isn't a screen shot at all... just an artist rendering and probably an early one.

I think that is an 'old' shot, taken before they'd even decided on the title.Steve

I agree it just looks too good to be a screenshot. It's much better than the other shots, plus the use of a real airline makes me think its not an actual screenshot. :(

I suspect it's an early dx10 artist impression, before the FSX name was officially decided probably.
