Since other than the official Q&A released, those who know can't tell, I'm opening this thread to really speculate on what FS-X will NOT include...

.... a Krupps expresso maker, for those addicted to long-haul flights!

A new Up to date brand spanking new computer to play the blasted thing on :-/

I mean, exactly HOW much of an improvement can this be on fs9 without compromising on the performace of the computer system? My computer is by no means ancient, but if microsoft release FSX with 'the best graphics ever', i think a lot of people will choose not to buy it purely for the reason that their computer can't handle it. If FSX will be 'the next-generation' in terms of graphical ability, wont this mean microsoft will have to get rid of things like the learning centre, extra planes and pre routed flightplans to compromise with the sheer size of the game?

Hope i started a good debate with that one

Computer technology is the fastest area for what today is top of the line and tomorrow obsolete area there is.

My rig runs FS9 wonderfully, however I cannot nor do I expect it to run FSX as it does FS9. What does that mean? if I want the immersion level and the graphics that FSX will offer, I will have to upgrade. If not I can stay with the perfectly viable FS9 that I have now that I enjoy immensely.

Just because FSX is released (when its released) doesnt mean I have to jump in immediately and buy it. I really feel I would be let down because my hardware wont support it as its meant to be enjoyed.

I can hear it now though when it is released...

I just blew $60 and it looks like crap.

What are your system specs?

1.8 Gig with a 128mb video card

Moving vehicles in and around the airport - fuel trucks, steps, tugs etc. I doubt it will include them, but I'd gladly be told that I am wrong!

Ozzy-proof flight environment  ;D

According to reports, FSX will NOT include Fozzers Cooker (AI) in the Hereford area.

Smellovision?  ;D

I reckon it won't contain any default aircraft and will be incompatable with all third party software done to date.

I would love to see them do that.

Actually that wouldn't surprise me at all.

What are your system specs?

80GB hard drive, Nvidia Geforce 5200 graphics card, 2.8Ghz processor, 128mb video memory

You mean she can't already tell by the "aroma" of a 16-hour stint at the controls without a bathroom break?
