The only improvement you will see is that it talks LESS like "HAL" from 2001: A Space Odessy and MORE like "Computer" in Star Trek. ;D

And they changed the color of the font, but that's about it. But in the missions there are real voices, like in the FSX Demo Carribean Landing mission.

I deinstalled the demo some time ago but as I recall the ATC window was awful - much too big taking up half your window with loads of old dialogue in it. Don't know whether you could change it or not but I thought it was a big backward step from FS9 personally as I like to be able to see out of the screen - you know, for tedious events like landing  ;)

it was rather large, but thats why you close after you reply it and disable auto open when flying  ;D  maby someone nice enough will figure out a way to make a "mod" to the ATC window to get it smaller.

Ah, so many questions -- so little time . . .
" . . . but that's about it."
As I recall, many other pilot-voices use accents; of course, I was so busy enjoying the view, I didn't listen as closely as I should have for this report  :)

" . . . but with backward compatability ain't it......"
Well, R.B., you'll just have to buy a FSX copy to find out now, won't you?  :-/

Buy for now . . .

It should be. I managed to resize it in the demo.
