Ratcheting up the excitement, Microsoft announces a few more surprises for the 2006 AVSIM Convention. AVSIM is pleased to announce that the Microsoft FS team will be giving away a collection of goodies at the AVSIM Convention and here are the details... Microsoft will be giving away a high end video card (four to be exact) at the convention. Two on Friday night at the social, one at the Saturday awards dinner and one at the Microsoft Flight Simulator day on Sunday. How about some more hardware? The MS team will be giving away 12, no you didn't read that wrong, 12 (twelve) USB native Xbox 360 controllers - can you say "cross platform compatibility"??? Or, better yet, can you say "Gamepad"??? Be there! The event of the year is rapidly approaching and you could be the proud owner of a copy of FS-X, simply by registering! Do so today and get in on the excitement and the imminent release of the next generation of Flight Simulator, and possibly be the proud owner of a high end vid card and / or a Xbox 360 controller!

I feel that this years event should be renamed the FSX Convention!! :-) :-lol Wish I could be there! I look forward to hearing all the news on here.

I hope someone can take a video cam and make hours of footage that they then upload to AVSIM.I would, if i could go, but alas i live in Sydney and its too expensive to get over to the US.Maybe AVSIM can video tape the conference speakers? And upload to AVSIM?Please please please. :-jumpyYou know... I would buy a ticket, if that gave me access to videos of the sessions. What about it? Can you have an "online" ticket. That way people who cant get to the US can still support the conference and get lots of info uploaded within an hour or so of the speaker session.
