Bruce Hamilton 97 Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Apparently, someone at Microsoft caught a whiff of what was cooking over at Aerosoft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharrow 107 Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 This is just a licensing agreement which allows Lockheed Martin to develop ESP for their own purposes. That is it. There is nothing interesting as far as us simmers are concerned... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats not the point though, don't you find it ironic that MS signs new partnerships and license agreements after they sought to kill the product?

Sharrow 107 Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 My reply was aimed more at Bruce's comments. All MS did was shut down the ACES studio in its current form. Everything ACES was involved with was simply shelved, not killed or buried or thrown away. Along came LM, who were likely using ESP before MS shut down ACES, and made MS an offer they could not/would not refuse. To quote someone in the know: "Lockheed is specifically barred from using the [ESP] codebase in the entertainment market" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James A 39 Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Yes, we can read...

If you read the report fully then prey tell me "what it states" about MSFS???? You are obviously looking at words that are not there!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Hamilton 97 Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 You are obviously looking at words that are not there!! I'm looking at pictures that are there. A 747 cockpit and a Bell Ranger apply more to MSFS than the Navy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James A 39 Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 I'm looking at pictures that are there. A 747 cockpit and a Bell Ranger apply more to MSFS than the Navy. But which are totally irrelevant to a "non military" sim. Also, they are on about ESP, which is?? Nothing to do with MSFS as far as I am aware.

Vitus 5 Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Hi Simon, Mikkel is right in that point. Have a look at the SDK of ESP - it is word by word the same as the FSX SDK (SP1). Cheers, Vitus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
