question

#1 so when FSx is released, will you make FS9 defunct? that includes transferring a/c, scenery, addons, etc...

(check options 1-3)

#2 will you start downloading all FSX a/c as soon as they are released on the new download sections?

(check options 5-7)

Yes for (1) and Yes for (5).... ;D...!

I still have Flight Unlimited II, (FU 2... ;D...), Pro Pilot 2, and  FS '98, and FS 2000 Pro, and FS 2002 Pro running on my hard drive as well as FS 2004...!
It's fun comparing them now and again...;D...
...So...
I will just add FS X to my hard drive... 8)...!
...No problemo...;D...!

Cheers all...!

Paul...plenty of hard drive space...!!

...funny thing...yesterday I read on the web somewhere, that FSX would be sold as a download only....no box, no manual, no discs etc.....and that having FS9 running on your pc would be necessary to get the download..........like a huge sort of upgrade if you get my meaning..........anybody else ever seen that? I thought it sounded daft but you never know..........

You'll just add FSX?  ::) ;D

I have FUII, FS98, FS2002,FS9 and hopefully at some point I'll pick up FSX.
I barely have time to play FS9 - once a week at best - but would love to peak at the others every now and again. Would be interesting to see some screenies from them all. I saw a site once that had them all.

I think that might be it. Can't remember- but it is awfully interesting.

An excellent read, Ben... ;D...!

In my experience, the biggest leap forward was from FS 2000 to FS 2002... ;D...!

Pro Pilot 2 has very accurate ATC built in...;)...!
...and FU II is the reason for my continuing interest in the Californian scenery...!

Paul... 8)...!

Holy crap! FS was that small? I can't believe it was small enough to be in a floppy. Today's version required 4 CDs. :o

Sounds like a bunch of dooey. It'll be boxed, on a DVD.

Though, a 2-4GB???  download could be fun to try. ;)
