Hi all,

I just came across this news on a French news site:
http://www.clubic.com/actualite-76474-e ... -pack.html

Looks like a new expansion pack is coming out... is it the same as Adrenalyne Pack ? They state the pack will use DirectX 10, and will bring some new planes like the Mustang and the F-18 Hornet ! Some screens are included, the quality of the autogen is a bit impressive, I have to say :o

My my, Microsoft. Going military now are we? I must admit, as much as I hate the thought of Microsoft going...well..."master switch on, I've got tone!", this is quite exciting. Thanks for that link Daube, I was interested in seeing their expansion pack.

Oh well, "going military" is a bit exagerated...
"master switch on, I've got tone!" may be exiting for you, personnaly I'm more interested in the simple fact of flying such a great airplane. not for the destruction power or whatever, but just for the flight.

Knowing Microsoft, this plane will, as usual, have only battery and lights switchs in the VC, as usual...

No no, you misunderstand me, although it is my fault for not stating myself clearly. I wouldn't really like power and destruction in MSFS, but its just exciting since Microsoft have never produced a military plane for this civillian simulator. Ever.

For you english folk who dont know french, heres Free Translation.com's Translation. Apparently, you can go shopping with your friends.

Four styles of races will be present: "Aerobatic trains", "Reno high-speed", "cross-country" and "sailplane". The all with three difficulty levels. The title will profit from DirectX 10 and advantages of Windows Vista for its graphicses and dynamic environments. To the menu will have proposed you a little more than twenty missions to put to the test your talents of pilot than this be for a simple flight or a research mission and of salvage. For that, you will take the orders of aircraft such as the F/A-18A Hornet, the P-51D Mustang and the helicopter EH-101.

No you won't have the "shopping" thing lol. i'm french and in fact the word shopping should be "race".
those translation sites have to be used with caution although it saved my life a million time for my homework ;D

Screw the extra planes and races, I want the autogen!!!

but its just exciting since Microsoft have never produced a military plane for this civillian simulator. Ever.

So not the F4U Corsair or Sopwith Camel, then?

How much cash out of my parent's pockets is this?

Aww now FSX is gonna work so bad with all of this extra memory. Plus, I cannot read French.

Never trust online translators.

i think the F/A-18 is MS's way of saying: "We might do a CFS 4..." that would be so cool! CFS4, with modern day warfare and stuff.

btw, the F/A-18 looks good in that shot. id take away the shinyness from the engine's nozzles, because then, unless they just turned off self-shadowing, it will look weird.

also, can anyone say, 'Carrier Ops'?

Posted: **Wed Jul 11, 2007 8:58 pm**

Tweek, you are right about the Sopwith. But the F4U Corsair was added to FS2002 as a bonus from CFS2.

Posted: **Wed Jul 11, 2007 10:47 pm**

I think it's a poor translation of Adrenaline.... that doesn't explain the pictures though...?

P.S. That F-18 looks AWSOME!

Posted: **Thu Jul 12, 2007 12:06 am**

Surely this is Adrenaline which has already been announced.

Also ACES have said that they are going to build a Train Simulator incorporating the scenery engine from FSX.

Frankly there would be nothing stopping them using the engine for a ship or yacht simulator, car trials and rallies and the like.

Why not? In fact we may get further surreptitious updates as they are forced to improve the scenery for these uses.
