FS X announcement in PC Gamer?

[Treker4747]

Wow.

Reading that makes my pants feel funny.

"Windows Vista?" What's that? Guess I'll have to stick w/ good ole FS9 and Windows XP. C'mon, Mr.Gates, give us "average salary" folks a break,will ya? I mean, we all can't just run out and buy a $1500.00+ system to run one simulator......sheesh!

I would think it still could work for Windows XP? I hope so.. It sure sounds very promising though. Hopefully alot more detailed airports and detailed landclass.

I'm so glad that FS10 is imminent :D.

Folks, what you have read is NOT an official announcement from MS, and I would wager a substantial sum of money that FS10 is NOT imminent, if imminent means early in 2006. Perhaps we will see an official announcement from MS early next year, but I highly doubt you will see FS10 itself early next year.

I do suspect that what you have read was the result of a "leak" combined with some speculation, in an effort to be "first to press".

Ahh PC Gamer...the good ole gaming mag, I remember when I used to subscribe to that...they were realllllly biased about some things...yep, more speculation which makes the little guy wait :(

Yeah I agree, usually the anouncment come way before release date. Think about it, they need to first do beta testing and that takes few months.

I'm confused...

a press release about a press release LOL!

[lionheart]

Lets say some of that content was correct though. Wow, an Airbus! woohoooooo!

And a DH Beaver for flying around in Alaska to see the wild life! man....

I can hardly wait.

[khaliah]

Yeah, even if the article was fake, it was fun to read. FS9 was great, but it is time to move on.

[kurtvoss]

dont get ya hopes up!
They are going to keep changing the release date until about november 2006!

[andyjohnston]

Cars and trucks on the roads, herds of wild animals...that would be *amazing!!!* (I'm going to throw in a few more !!!!'s to get my point across!)

But I hope the part about Vista is indeed incorrect.

Lou, that would be a "sucker's bet" I'll wager! ;)
