Flight Simulator X Nears Release
The greatly anticipated Microsoft's Flight Simulator X - the latest installment in the MSFS series looks set for worldwide release as 2006 draws to a close.
Microsoft says about the release date: "We are working hard to deliver “Flight Simulator X” in the holiday 2006 timeframe".
More than just a rework of the 2004 version FS X features an entirely new core engine. Optimised for the forthcoming Windows Vista (but also capable of running on XP SP2), the simulation is claimed to be the "graphical benchmark for games on Windows Vista".
Featuring structured gameplay for the first time FS X will deliver the features FS 2004 lacks, and users have been crying out for.
A trail version is available from Microsoft which includes two airports, three missions, and three different aircraft. All of the missions take place at St. Maarten in the Caribbean.
