Simviation Forums

Mircrosoft announced today that there is no, and never was any FSX. It was merely a cruel joke which started with half a dozen edited FS9 screenshots which then span out of control as it fueled its self with rumours and what if's.

Bill Gates has commented that it's "All very silly. How could the fools be taken in so easily?"

According to Microsoft FS9 is going to be their last version of Flight Simulator so that they could concentrate on Combat Flight Simulator with it's newer and superior game engine.

Huh, I didn't know it was April 1st today.

Tis no hoax, rather a hoodwink.

FSX is none other than microsft's answer to X-Plane, just as CFS3 was to IL2.

X-Plane people are horrible to newcommers, so microsoft will probably win here in any case. I anticipate microsoft actually doing something useful for once if they can knock X-Plane off.

There's nothing wrong with that.

I'm afraid most of the injections blew up with my experiment.

Now I remember why Simviation got dropped from my daily list of forums & newgroups to read, shortly after I registered back on Apr 27th, 2003...

Sounds like something ol Billy would say

Some people lack a sense of humour.... or I'm failing to see his sense of it.

It's a joke.. There really is a FSX. Woodlouse2002 is merly playing a cruel trick on all of us. I could say.."Lockheed is planning the return of the L1011.."... How many of you would believe that??

I saw your posts over at X-plane.org forum...

In that case, you should already be aware of the X-Plane forum members' habits. If those people saw SimViation, they would realize that we are kind and gentle like Hagar, Commoner, Pete, Ozzy, etc.

I would just say that the fact that Jasper was banned was not suprising  ;D
