DoveTail updated their stance on the next simulator in their series. Just go to their "Our Products" page. They say they expect to have a release to market sometime in 2016. They allegedly are bringing in a Lead Artist to collaborate with their aviation team in producing the Simulator... exciting indeed ^_^^_^ ^_^
 
The following, word for word, was posted on Facebook by DoveTail Games:
 
"""

Exciting, indeed.

Ladies and gents... it works!!!
 
I installed it in a rather odd manner. I'll have the details soon .
 
* UPDATE:
 
So here we go:
 
I would like to start by saying thanks to +~Craig~ & +Glynn as well as a big thanks to +uncle_adolph and +Bozdog
---------------------
 
I started by first moving my whole FSX folder in the Program Files (x86) directory to a new folder simply under the (C:) directory. I also disabled my McAfee Antivirus (in case you were wondering)
 
From that point, I ran the FTX Global installer, freshly extracted, as Administrator. It Unwrapped the files, and asked me to install. Oddly enough, it did not recognize that I had moved my main FSX folder elsewhere, but I eventually decided, after reading another thread, to just install FTX Global where it wanted to install it. Eventually, after a few minutes, FTX Global completely installed itself where FSX was, and created its own directory entitled "Microsoft Flight Simulator X."
 
It gets a bit weird here.
 
I then took the contents of the new directory the FTX installed, and copied them into the original main FSX folder (which, if you remember, is in a new directory). After properly merging and place the files from the FTX install where they should be, I took the whole, newly modified FSX main folder and placed it back where it originally was (in the Program Files (x86) directory).
 
So now, to recap, I put FSX back in the original directory it was in before I installed FTX.
 
 
I loaded up FSX, made sure ORBX was in the Scenery Library, loaded a flight a Newark Liberty International Airport at night, and wahlah. Beautiful. It works.
 
Now, after I made sure things were working, I installed ORBX's freeware North America airports, then installed the latest ORBX Libraries, as recommended in +~Craig~'s post.
 
 
I am happy to say that FTX Global is now functioning, and FTX Central also functions properly :lol: !!!
 
* I also, of course, made sure to enable my Antivirus software once everything was done.
 
NOTE: When FTX Central first began functioning, it gave me the infamous "Unhandled Exception" error. I easily fixed this when I placed FSX back in it's original directory once all of the ORBX-related folders were installed.
 
 
Thanks again. everyone. I couldn't have done it without you!!! ^_^

He's right! Many seem to believe that Dovetail is merely redistributing FSX. While this is true, Dovetail clearly stated that they would be developing a new flight simulation product using Microsoft's technology. So, let's put that out there now. Perhaps the comments can be a bit more question specific, now.
 
*For those of you who would like to disagree or agree with a statement that is from Dovetail, please provide a source to verify. Otherwise, just tell me what you think! ^_^

Never mind. Nobody even took a look at this post, anyway <_<. But still, problems have been solved! Just make sure none of the modules had "Run as Admin," then I ran FSX as ADMIN (not required), while making sure my Firewall and antivirus (in particular) weren't blocking connections. Also, make sure for the CHAT that you change compatibility to run as ADMIN on Windows XP SP2, then run FSX as admin. Good to go. Thanks to all that didn't get the chance to help!
