Future releases

A future version of Microsoft Flight Simulator has yet to be announced, but a Microsoft spokesperson has stated: 'it's safe to say that we're 'always' working on the next version. Or two'.

That 'future version' refers to MSFS 11 (eleven). From this Wikipedia article:

Is it a coincidence that I stumble across this reference while wracking my brain whether or not to install Acceleration?

hehe, now the question is... will it be a complete rewrite from the ground up or will they use the same engine?

It'd be nice to have something that runs half decent and takes full advantage of multicore systems! Even worth having to wait around for addons to be rewritten if you ask me...

Well if you do a bit of digging Traches you'll find that according to the rumours they will be using a new engine and will address multicore systems. That's the grapevine anyway based apparently on leaked 'promises'.

They should have done this in the first place with FSX.

Do the rumors mention what operating system msFS 11 is written for?

Hahaha Oldsamer I didn't even dare to go there.
In recent times talk about Linux has steadily but noticeably increased. Who knows, maybe one day we'll get lucky.

I can't help but compare MS OS with fossil fuels. The world as we know it depends on both. Is there still hope?
