"Hi all.
An interesting idea about FS10 is circulating. We can now assume from the AVSIM conference that MS plans to delay the introduction of FS10 to perhaps 2006 or 7. That would mean that FS10 would be the graphics "flagship" of the DirectX replacement running on the next Windows version. The buzz is that this replacement for DirectX will be a substantial change.
This may make all our ideas, sceneries, and tools, unusable in FS10. The MS team also stated that "developers" would be given access to SDK info prior to the release of the sim. I would assume "developers" would mean commercial 3rd party developers. This was the case with CFS3.
And the idea of pre-release SDKs supports the idea that FS10 may be much different than our old BGL/MDL format.
If any of this proves true, our wish list needs to be expanded beyond the constraints of MakeMDL, or the TDF style of terrain design we've seen... because those formats may no longer exist. The design team hinted at huge changes for FS10.
Ideally, MS will provide us with a more complete ( and user-friendly ) set of tools to allow object, terrain, and aircraft creation.
Dick"
