Hi,

I have just signed in and they are going "Nuts" on Avsim as to who it might be that has bought the License,

Why the Hell don't these people just come clean when it's done and dusted, typical as usual,

Now when i go to bed tonite i'll be counting "what company's might it be" instead of Sheep !!! ;)

Cheers,

Roger.

Are we sure it is not a late April Fool. Surely LM (unless it is them of course for the entertainment licence) would be peeved. OK, folks maintain LM bought ESP and not FSX but the two are not that different.

Don't suppose it will mean much in the short term. Assuming it's not LM, if who-ever it is builds a new FS it's probably going to be a couple of years away, if they do a proper job. Hope they go the 64bit route.
And does this mean LM can now sell P3d as an "entertainment" product if M$ are no longer in the picture?

I wonder if MS will still activate the sim if we need to re-install for some reason?
Guess we will have to wait and see.
