I get a kick out of the NDA each time a new release of FS comes around. They hold a publicity event for FS community members, "but sorry, can't tell anyone about what you saw until we decide what we told you isn't secret anymore". Meh. Just strikes me as silly.No, I'm not a Microsoft hater, or doom and gloomer spreading rumors about Hawaii only, or it's a 10GB rather that 14GB install, so it can't be world wide (There have been serious advances in file systems, image file size reduction etc, so the 4GB likely means nothing).Just a bit tired of the 'annual' secrecy game. Other than the fact that they've been quiet about features, etc, the graphics look pretty darn good. What's to be disappointed about? We've heard nothing that the sim engine is dumbed down (Calling it a game doesn't mean it won't still be realistic, it's usually done to suck in non-simmers to try something). The coverage hasn't been reported on at all, so I'd assume it covers the world like the previous editions.

A good quality BAE 146/Avro RJ would be nice. Or, as mentioned above a PMDG level of detail in an ATR or Dash 8 would be my next choices.

If you've ever bought from Flight1, they have the info, just login with your registered email addy, if you ever buy from them (online, at least) that's part of the buying process, iirc (Name, address, phone# and email)

The F-Lite line is aimed at the simmer who wants to do things a bit deeper than the default A/C allow. The 'Easy' FMC is aimed at people who dont want to program for 15 minutes before flying, but want a feel of loading a plan, fuel, weights and having it spit out V1 speeds, etc.For a basic FMC, it's pretty good. It not supposed to be exactly like a real FMC, as many people don't have the patience to learn how to use them.I've learned how, and a flight with a full FMC in FSX is rewarding, but to those who dont have the time to learn them, F-Lite is a good alternative.If a patch is in the works, though, can we have speed and altitude tapes on the PFD?, otherwise, nice work.

No speed/Altitude tapes on the PFD, but otherwise, not bad. It seems to be the same 'easy' FMC that was on the other F-Lite models.

Kind of fun so far. Definitely the F-Lite type of plane, rather than CS, PSS or PMDG. I really miss the speed/altitude tapes on the PFD, though.

To be honest, for FS9, I'm running it on a laptop with the following specs:Dell Latitude E6410Win7 64bitIntel I5, 2.4GHZ Arrandale7200 RPM 250Gb Hd4GB 1333mhz SDRAMIntel Integrated GraphicsI run FS9, UK VFR Scenery, UK photorealistic textures, many different paywar aircraft (PSS 757, capt sim 727, PMDG 737's, B1900, Capt Sim 707) Aerosoft airports, etc80%+ AI traffic (WOAI packages)I lock it at 20 FPS, have absolutely no stutters, occasionally at the newest Heathrow scenery or the VFR London scenery I might get a hiccup or two.I'd be interested to try FSX with this rig, just to see how it would run.
