From what I've read of FSX 11 I think I'll be sticking with FSX. It seems likely it will only support VC cockpit and can only be used on line. Not a route I'll be going down. I think they are aiming for gamers. Us lot are now to old to be a target market. Anyone for virtual dinosaurs?
Off to see if there are any farm strips in the Southern half of Scotland, ready for that coming out in GenX.

Not absolutely positive about this, but I think the version 1 came in 2 flavours, FSX and FS2004, but they got the updates onto a single set. I guess you need to install the version 1, followed by the updates. This all happened years ago............ There's been rumours of FSX11 coming later this year, I guess you will be getting that going in another 7 years time, I'm reminded of the 2 Ronnies sketch where they did Mastermind, with the answers lagging one behind the questions!

Before I do so can I check that I’m not throwing away the wrong boxes? First is the four box set of Visual Flight photo scenery – John’s original release. I assume this was replaced or improved by Horizon GenX and that it isn’t worth installing. Next is the Horizon scenery but it is puzzling me. I seem to have the original GenX three disk set but the boxes say this is for FSX only. I also have the GenX V.2 disk set which claims it is compatible with FS2004 as well as FSX. If the latter is true then I see no reason the install the original set and should also throw the original GenX DVD’s away too. Is this correct or are there any solid reasons for installing the Visual Flight scenery again or the Generation X V.1 scenery? As to flight sim itself I presume there isn’t any problem installing FS2004 and then FSX –or would it be better doing it the other way round? I seem to recall the FSX install was reported to mess up any FS2004 links.. bones bones@xxxxxxx http://woodair.net <http://woodair.net/> No virus found in this message.
