Is a new Flight Simulator coming out soon?

Cool.  I obviously missed that.  That will come in handy since I'm obsessing on "tweaking" smoke, afterburners and other effects on aircraft that were originally FS9, converted to FSX by adding a thumbnail, and all the effects have their "Y Z" coordinats swapped in the .cfg.

I'll certainly be looking into that.  Thanks!

One ting I want to see is the airplane being affected by the enviroment. For instance, you land your plane on a muddy dirt strip, the airlane should be splattered with mud. Also I would like better crash animations. I know it is in a attempt to keep the game rated E, but it does seriously affect the realism when an airplane falls out of the sky with both engines ablaze only to stick in the ground like a stake. Of course, better fps. Finally, they should be truthful about the games requirements. My system passes the requirements with flying colors, yet the only time the fps is quivers above 15 is when I am 30,000 ft in the air, over the middle of the atlantic ocean, with settings on medium low.

I just hope the ATC is better and aircraft come with 'more'. A GPWS by default (where it counts down instead of just the warnings) would be nice.

It isnt really an anniversary or celebration of anything is it in the 2009-2011 time is it?

Missions were good, just need more I think.

Environment effects would be nice too. Giant wakes, huge sprays and dirt/frost would be interesting. Although it may affect the rating, I think they need to move towards realism a lot more- G effects causing damage on a larger scale and things like failures should happen randomly by default (so instead of your engine failing at a certain time you said, it should just go off randomly and things like that).

Speaking of ATC, another neat idea would be the "ultimate" in ATC when you cross into restricted airspace, and a couple of F-16's drop by to explain the errors of your way.
