So! What was the Big News from Microsoft??????

Who knows whether XBox FSX will even support add-ons. It may be the XBox that gets new people liking the program, and then they decide that they really want a yoke and pedals and a nice Jet, and they come over to the PC and start simming "normally".

If they made a yoke and keyboard for the 360 to use with FSX, I'd hardly ever use my PC for FS again (except when using FS9)Also, if they added in support so 360 users can get the freeware and payware add-ons from the various development groups online and it'd be goodbye PC for FSX for me. I'd probably only use the 360 version.

LOL you're so funny.The XBox is actually a decent bit of hardware, and FSX would have no trouble whatsoever running on it. In fact, it would probably run with the equivalent of all sliders moved to the right, it is in fact that powerful.Add a yoke and pedals or a decent joystick and you've got yourself an awesome FSX rig. Also, the 360 is all about the Live system and obtaining addons from the net, so it's ideal for 3rd party developers as well.James
