Well, now that FS2k4 was released, M$'s already started working on FS2k6.  Since I work for them, I got to see it before anyone else.  (They got it done really fast  ::))  So while they weren't looking, I took a few shots.  8)

Yes, they still have the old 2D panels in FS2k6, as this pic shows.

Just wait until FS2050 when it comes out on Holodeck. I just hope Ozzy remembers to leave the safeties on.  He'll probably by 80 or 90 by then. Or if he ever gets a real Spitfire, he'll be dead by then.  ;D

They are sitting in boxes in the M$ factory, while you blow your money on the slow junk they tout as the newest, fastest, top-of-the-line! :-/

One of these years, microsoft will slap "Flight Simulator" on the side of a plane and say it's the new version.

That would be neat if FS 06 had graphics like that. who knows? Maybe '08 or '10 will have graphics like that.

i think we need to accept the fact that the graphics will never be photorealistic and always have some element of 'game graphics' in them if you know what i mean.
