There's no way I'm going to upgrade to FS 11!!!I have too much money invested in FSX addonsI'm going back to FSX. It runs perfectly on my 16-cores Nehalem, that you can find very cheap these days.Well, at least we are already covered on this one :)

This discussion, although useful, is avoiding the reality that developing addon scenery and aircraft is much more important than flying in the sim. Critical to that is the interoperability and functional extensions of the new FS11 SDK, and I have some concerns. In the beta version, I'm finding in the documentation that the holographic mouseovers have a little too much chartreuse. The 5dsmax telepathic animation/transparency/texturing tool is prone to interference and distortion: I can no longer watch Bugs Bunny when designing. On the plus side, we all understood the loss of backwards compatibility, and it's heartening to see this philosophy extended: during the beta cycle, it's been decided to drop forward compatibility as well.Finally, the elimination of the NDA requirements of beta testers has vastly increased the amount of feedback, speculation and premature ranting on Aces blogs and the forums. MS responded quickly with the recent duodecacloning of Phil Taylor which, although disturbing to his family, allows simmers to focus on what's important: talking about the sim rather than flying, thus taking the pressure off addon developers and eliminating the need for computer upgrades. I'm sure the recent bankruptcy of HP, Dell and several other hardware vendors is unrelated.Jon

What? True life holographic 3D VCs and still no 2D panels. Geez, ACES heads must have been you know where. I'm so sticking with FS9.Jeff

I think the only solution for all of the problems in FS11 is if people just realize that the closed source model doesn't work. I think all the 3PD's should open their up their source code. Now, just because all of their products are open source doesn't mean they won't get paid. People will still pay for all the stuff they can download for free! Really! And if nothing else, all of the 3PD's can just hang out on Avsim and do tricks for a dollar. Like, "The report this post trick". Just watch! Who wants a dollar?

[timers15 11]

Oh Yeah. From this day forth every time I mention the travesty that is FS11 I shall make a clever and artistic statement by referring to M$ as Microsoft.
