Orion, thanks - did not catch that during my search for ESP. Now I'll have to find out what TS2 was meant to be. ;D

Thats just a FSX acceleration hornet doing a landing on the carrier the reason why I can tell is no ILS and no AoA bracket on the Hud. Wasn't lack of sales for ESP part of the reason why MS stopped FS series and I think they were in the middle of developing ESP2 when MS made that desicion.

Microsoft Train Simulator 2 was supposed to be built on the same DX9 graphics engine that Microsoft had developed for FSX and ESP, but will a new fully functional DX10 engine. They had ALOT more vector data for power lines, streams roards, etc... They had fully functioning road crossings with the gates, bells and everything! There were even a few hikers nearby. I was lucky enough to try Train Simulator 2 in the summer 2008 demo at Anaheim. Let's just say it was awesome and leave it at that :P. One thing about the demo at Anaheim was they were showcasing TS2 version of a FSX mission, where they could have placed the people as AI objects, along with the animals in nearby farms, etc... ARGHH!! I just can't remember the system specs of the demo computers. I remember it was an Intel CPU, Nvidia GeForce 8800 or 8600 and 2 or 4 GB of RAM. They were still using the FSX settings and I believe they were all set to like medium high. I asked if I could change some of the settings and I almost and it slowed down to like 7 FPS. Good ol' FSX engine :P.

Not according to the powers that be over at MS... they claim to remain committed to the FS franchise.

missing ILS and AoA bracket on the hood ?
Perhaps you know already, aerosoft f-16 for FSX has more than that
http://www.aerosoft.com/cgi-local/re/iboshop.cgi?showd,,10285
Even a HUD AirToAir mode with target designation box, target aspect angle indication, range to target rectile during the last 12000 feet, target closure speed indication, target altitude and more.
The radar MFD looks and feels similar to the f-18 one. However there is an AN/APG-68 extension making HOTAS control possible.
You know what I mean?
