Microsoft Flight Simulator X
Platform: PC
Publisher: Microsoft Game Studios
Release: Q4 2006 The latest game will offer dozens of new aircraft, including the AirCreation 582SL Ultralight and Maule M7-260C Orion
with wheels and skis. The game will be online-enabled, so you can fly with other gamers around the world. The world is also set to be far
more detailed, with moving cars, meticulous buildings, indigenous houses, farmland and wildlife in natural habitats. The planes
themselves will also be more realistic than before, boasting shaded rivets, reflective paint, and glint from glass and chrome.

Flight Simulator X will also feature over 50 missions, including the Red Bull Air Race and bringing relief materiel to the Congo. ACES
Studio has programmed over 24,000 airports into the game that feature AI-controlled jetways, fuel trucks and moving baggage carts.

There's no news on whether the game will be at E3 this year, but as the show opens tomorrow we won't have to wait long to find out.
