i was just thinking the same thing. if it is coming out in 2008 they should just about have it finished.

[quote]Every two years they seem to be released. Just wondering if there is any word on the new FS.

And what type of things would you like to see happen?
I'm fine flying whatever airplanes they give us, but what I really want is for the multiplayers to have unique and VISIBLE downloaded aircraft for other players. No more substituting a Harrier with 737-800 paint 1!

Last date I heard was 'for Christmas 2010'

What I would like to see:

AI models that aren't copies of player planes, because FSX default traffic is hard on frames.
Real-world paints for aircraft.
Voice activated ATC like VOX ATC.
One version like FS2004, not like the deluxe and standard.
Better land-classes like glaciers, beaches and such.
An ATC mode that works in 'freeflight'. (Where you are the controller.)
More detailed VC's, don't model switches that don't do anything.
A better muiltplayer system.
Have VC rain FX's again, like in FS2004.
Have new aircraft instead of the C-172, Piper Cub, Baron 58, King Air 300, Learjet 45 and so on.
More historical aircraft, like some WWII & WWI fighters.


[edit]But before a new flight sim I would like to see a new Combat Flight Sim. [/edit]

So trainsim 2 is coming out soon cool, i was a fan of of the MSTS 2 until i found out it had preset routes.... WHICH WAS THE PROBLEM IN THE 1ST GAME

It'd be nice to see a return to MSFS, rather than the "game" which appeared with FSX. Maybe a return to a development of FS9 would be nice, but I fear Microsoft will go "onwards and upwards", and continue the slow strangulation of the traditional backbone of the FS series.

A user friendly SDK for making yur own add-ons that does require a  software degree in 3Ddesigning (or equivelent level of knowledge).

Also, that they not pull a CFS2=>CFS3 "New, totally different platform" so that FSX compatable add-ons will still be compatable with FSII.

there is no way to sub aircraft on multiplayer your sim cannot recognize that aircraft because there is no known model on your computer

I think FSX was a very important and big step for Microsoft into the new graphics world, but it wasn't bug free. In the next FS, I want Microsoft to work out the bugs a little better. The 3 things I am looking for are:

1) Better Jetway Connections, glad they actually connect to the aircraft, but it could be perfected.
2) I want Microsoft to break down and put an FMC in their default airplanes, LNAV and VNAV functions (the modern stuff)....it would really pay off
3) More advanced ATC (ability to fly SIDS/STARS...and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE put a better vectoring system or something in there that spaces out the aircraft on approachl, I am sick and tired of all these go arounds with AI traffic.)

Oh, and the "Voice warnings" that don't sound like "You're sick" when you are flying low low level, or "Oh dear!" when flying said low level with your gear up.  An "in cockpit" "Shut up button" to turn that whiner off would be nice too.

I know you can't have real world ground textures for all the cities and suburbs that are included, too much HD space, but I'd like to have an official download where you can download at least 1 photo realistic texture into your library.
I'd love to fly over Chicago area and pick out my house, schools, malls, etc.

Or land a heli in your own back yard, if you have a back yard.

Exactly what I was thinking. The only things that are real life looks are the powerlines and roads. It would also could be easier to look at the ground and not have to use a map then.

Or land a heli in your own back yard, if you have a back yard.

or the two hundred acre field behind your house.
