Hmm. Interesting move by microsoft. We would wait to see where it leads, new software by Flight One.. maybe 8 or 900 hundred bucks for real training software and the simmers are not a part of the package. It would be nice to hear from an insider. Such as Nick Needam sells his products through Flight One. (GEX).

No worries

That will only involve civil and military aviation development, not the GP

Not many people know that F1 has connections to the professional and military aviation industry. FAA is also a friend. And that will continue along with the GP market offerings.

Where I retired from we played with toys like this..

Remember that such diversity in industry aids in maintaining quality levels for the GP at the game level and at the same time helps boost innovation.

Fingers crossed for what?

This license agreement is with Flight1 Tech, and has nothing whatever to do with the "entertainment market" (which is us, btw!)...

I'm not even sure why Flight1 even bothered with a "Press Release" to flightsim websites and magazines.

FAA is also a friend



You mean the Federation Against Aviation and in the UK we have the CAA, Campaign Against Aviation ;D ;D

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

This is nothing to do with FSX or 'MSFS' ..

Irrelevant as far as simmers are concerned.

You have me there. After 2 days gone by, I can't remember what I meant.
