You guys need to get out more.

Its all this FSX news turning us all loopy :-) As well as the Lunar situation being unusual this year :-)Dont get tooooo xxxxxxxxxxxx worriedJust having some fun ;-)Peter

Even though they already said it's "just a name" don't forget Microsoft's history with the letter X.DirectXActiveXWindowsXpXboxWindows 9x (I know that one doesn't count)That's what I initially thought when I saw the unique nomenclature.It's also interesting that FS's only halfway serious competition is a program called X Plane.

Like Mac OSX (from 9) or Final Fantasy X.Cheers,JasonAs an aside:X-Plane just released version 8+ (congrats!). Will we someday see an XX-Plane? Just wondering...

<>Probably X-PlaneX.

><>>>Probably X-PlaneX.Hey Mike,That's how I wrote it at first. :)I think I just like the idea of a Dos Equis version... ;)Aren't you sick or something?:(J

So, I was wrong then. I was thinking the release would be titled Microsoft Flight Simulator NC-17. D'oh!http://home.earthlink.net/~dawgfighter/sit...es/swvasig1.gif-Jeremy BurchSWVA4806 http://www.virtualswa.com/home.phpThe Ozark Dogfighter http://forums.avsim.net/images/wedge.gifHappy Flying!

It's funny that you mentioned that.

Interesting idea there. Hmmm. You would have to control the download though ;). Multiplayer sessions will have helicopters swarming over the pool. Massive collisions. Pandemonium. Excellent. I hope to see the strings on those bikini bottoms. Blowing hair. Water droplets. Follow me? All from the VC of my Bell. Let your imagination run on this one.Well what are you waiting for? Make it already! :-lolhttp://home.earthlink.net/~dawgfighter/sit...es/swvasig1.gif-Jeremy BurchSWVA4806 http://www.virtualswa.com/home.phpThe Ozark Dogfighter http://forums.avsim.net/images/wedge.gifHappy Flying!
