• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Here we go again.....MS needs your Buckaroos!!!!!or Mangoos!!!!

" Microsoft has yet to show all of its cards regarding Windows 8. But industry insiders are saying that we can expect a Windows 8 Beta release in September 2011. As the hype builds to Windows 8's launch, many more demos and new features will be unveiled. But it remains to be seen how compelling Windows 8 will be. Keeping in mind that about 60% of Windows users are still sticking with the 10-year-old XP, will users fling away their mice and keyboards, embracing Windows 8 with glee? Or will they recall the sting of Vista, and take a pass?"..........:eek::eek:

If I get a lean and clean OS from MS as well as access to MSDNAA at my next university, I'll give 8 a try.
 
I'll be interest in a new Operating System only when Microsoft themselves manage to do "silent updates" that don't require constantly rebooting the damn computer multiple times...

...and wasting several hours of productive time!

1.) Open Windows Update
2.) Pick Relevant Updates
3.) Download said updates (continue doing stuff doing said updates)
4.) Reboot. If it takes quite a while, go make a cup of tea in the meantime.
5.) ???
6.) PROFIT!

That's what they (MS) need to eliminate. If Apple can do it, there's no reason why MS can't.

"Silent Updating" means just that; the user won't be affected except by a notice that it was done...
 
Of course you do realise that MS Flight will run only under Windows 8 ;)
 
FSX was designed for Vista and DX10, neither were available at that time ;)

From what I've read, 8 is supposed to have a virtual desktop of some kind, so it might be possible to change system files not in use at that time without having to reboot.

Not completely accurate.. It was designed to benefit from DX10 and Vista.. It was never designed to ONLY run in it...

I would bet my last $ that Flight is currently being developed on an OS7 framework... As 8 gets closer, they will incorporate features / enhancements into it for use with 8.... I would be very surprised if Flight doesn't run on a good XP system..
