Spaceflight?

[skeeter14]

Yes I guess you are correct I am happy with FS2004 I find myself just getting lost for hours playing that thing.
I have bought the Just Flight A340 but it screwed up m FS I guess I need something so it will work.
Any tips

HOLY COW!!!!   if it is FSX that will be amasing. I know some of you are like "im happy at 2000 AGL" but for some of us who like to recreate things  this will allow so much more. We can now have  the space airlines sort of thing. The new buzz is the personal space flight stuff. Take off from one airport orbit and land on the other side of the earth in under 2 hours, as i said it opens up SO much more in flights. And we can also recreate some of the X flights now,  or like the shuttle landing challenge it can now be the space shuttle approach/ landing challenge.  not totally related to space flight and not totally related to flight. its a bit of both worlds,  or rather a bit more of our world  ;D

and the curviture looks real nice too  :D

now the big question,  was it REALLY FSX?

If it is FSX, then it would seem that M$ is playing a game of "catch up" with Laminar Research's X-Plane. FSX seems to be sticking with the old motto "as real as it gets" [finally].

nice, no stars though

Stars on my download. It was even possible to see the Plough like formation (Big Dipper) in the background

FSX will go upto earth orbit:
"up to orbital altitudes"

Looking forward to flying an x15 then

Or spaceship 1.

Or spaceship 1.

infact every space mission apart from the luner landings

*I wonder if they will have proper rentry?

Let Orbiter Space Flight Simulator handle the reentries.

HOOAH!

Amazing!!!!

Now just curious to see how the physics will be at that height

[SilverFox441]

Physics should be easy...after all it's purely ballistic above the atmosphere.

It is going to open a whole new avenue of exploration in FS...

That sure does look like FSX (based on screenies) - got very similar textures.

And if that is FSX, then....woah.

Guys, It is FSX!  Look at their website for once!  http://www.fsinsider.com/articles/Global_Terrain_Technology.htm

Look at the video!
