A new version will come. I suspect that MS will sell what they have on it to EA or Ubisoft or someone willing to pay some millions.

But yes it will take atleast half a decade before something comes of it. FS9 and FSX are it for now.

I keep hearing this rumor that because of no new changes it will be a boon to addon developers. But this can't be because there isn't going to be a new generation because most of the young ones expect a new version every few years.

And yes it is hard currently on Vista atleast to max out the settings. I suspect tho that my HD 9670 will be able to do it easily tho on Windows 7. And then what about 3870 or a 4850's

One of the big devestating realizations for me is that this means no new MS Space Simulator. I had hoped that the new FS11 engine would allow atleast for Orbital travel. With the graphics and flight quality and weather of FSX this would have been awesome!

Oh well I guess the only thing to do now is improve Orbiter.
