Guess we will have to wait and see.
That is a very valid point and worrisome.

I think it will. Microsoft uses the same system for all of it's product activations, so I see no reason why it should be an issue.

If they did do the dirty on us - no worries. There is a "noCD" fix available and I can tell you from personal experience that it works very well ;)

It appears that it might not be FSX that's been sold, but Microsoft Flight:

Doesn't surprise me. I bet it's been sold to a major console video game company. Like I said before...
All hail our new FS overlords...Nintendo. :lol:

Some are saying Aerosoft have it, also they have done an update to their Falklands sim and the latest update says a new sim system and some of the shots look Flight ish... http://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/to ... falklands/

Just thought, if Aerosoft do have it and use it for their Jet Thunder, I guess it would turn out like DCS World?
