skyguy95 0 Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 taken from an article on simflight.com on FSX - There is also NO WAY yet that we can comment on some of the things.. like performance, DX10, and some other issues. What CAN we tell you? Here are some new features: - tow planes for the gliders, and realistic thermals - wild animals running around the African plains and elsewhere - TWO versions of FSX, and a trial option - 'missions' to add a 'game' element - Tower Control - guide other on-line players - SDK included in the (pro) product - Share a cockpit - moving traffic on the roads - (a lot more) animations on the airports - AI shipping - updated audio system (mix with speakers AND headset) YES!!!!!!!!!!!! and with thier new multi engine, we can share flights :], sure home some of these will work in FSX :] whole article here = http://www.eaglesoftdg.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1147 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyguy95 0 Posted July 19, 2006 Author Share Posted July 19, 2006 found a little more from AVSIM :yahoo: New Features MS Flight sim has always included a sailplane. Have you ever noticed that there wasn’t a towplane to go along with the sailplane? There is now. The dynamics of towing an aircraft aloft isn’t accomplished with a towrope made of steel. The rope moves accordingly with taught and slack periods as the two planes work in tandem to get aloft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me thinks many will be staying with FS9 untill they win the lottery :cry: Ya all very good points, but, it will just make our virtual world all the more realistic with aerotow (dont really need the thermals) (And yes i did get a little to excited... and need to win the lottery :vv: lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mic 0 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Some gliders we are using now have been tested by a beta tester of FSX and it seems to work excepted some gauges which aren't compatible.Wolfgang said me that his Blanik (last version) is fully compatible. Am I right Wolfgang ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I right Wolfgang ?Yes, Mic, as I heard , some older gauges (made for FS98?) don't work in FSX. In my Blanik these are the spoiler, flap and gear gauges.

Orange 0 Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 When you say "older gauges", do you mean FS10 will only read .xml gauges? Or do you mean FS10 will still read the older .gau format but just not the realy old stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do you mean FS10 will still read the older .gau format but just not the realy old stuff?Yes, a good question. I don't know this exactly. The information is from 2nd or 3rd hand. I only know that spoiler, flaps, gear and trim gauges, which are built-in in my gliders, don't work, also the old g-meter gauge (*.gau file), which was in my Blanik glider didn't work.In the meantime I made a new one in *XML format for this glider.
