    Lockheed Martin has released a new video about Prepar3D, their simulator which is based on Microsoft ESP and thus also closely related to FSX. Here is what they have to say:

    Prepar3D® simulation software presents a virtual world that spans from the depths of the ocean to suborbital space. See how Prepar3D can be used for immersive, experiential learning in this trailer. Since launching the software in 2010 as an evolution of Microsoft ESP technology for professional training and academic learning, Lockheed Martin has expanded ground and maritime settings, added camera sensors and enhanced its multi-player capability for distributed training exercises.

      Nels,
      Where's the financial sense in holding back a winning successor to flight sim? Is there something we don't know about an FSX ace team link or a Microsoft similarity lawsuit? Do you know why?

      Ef2000, the restriction comes from LM's licence agreement with MS.

      I'm not going back to FSX and I will just remain a student the remainder of my life.
