FSX is gonna be way better for the people who thought earlier versions of FS had no point. They're gonna have stuff like air races, air show stunts, and rescue missions.

It won't help that much.. I've flown in Flight Simulator for eight years.. the planes in BF2 have flight dynamics that seem to have come from a little kid's imagination.

FSX is truly amazing.. I mean us FS enthusiasts were always like "Wow!" at the new features with each new FS.. but FSX is different.. it's like "HOLY SH!T THIS IS INSANELY AWESOME!" It's light-years ahead of FS2004.. I mean it seems like it should be FS2008 rather than FS2006.

EDIT: Just read from the Flightsim.com forums... FSX will support space flight up to a million feet, as well as ship simulations on the water. What's next? Train support? Road vehicle support? lol

LOL! So true.. Flight Simulator is always the first game I go back to after I get tired of a new game. Just the other day, after playing BF2 for two weeks straight.. I decided to fly a 737 around for a break.

Like doing loop-the-loops in a 747. I wonder what the passengers would say.

I really hope there will be a demo. It looks like an awesome game, but I want to see how well my computer takes it first, since if its anything like the other games, it'll be pretty expensive.

ive been playin FS since 98 version. own 2000,02, 04...after 04 iw as like eh they better do something diffrent or i wont contiunue buying the games. the novelity wore off a few years ago for me. the cool part about these games is the unlimited amount of expansions though. and the freebie planes u can download and mission packs sometimes.

grr illprolly end up gettin this one just because it has some LIFE to it

not just other airtraffic
