"RE: world aerobatic championships " 07-26-02, 19:16z  Greetings Greg: > Hi I have a question when will microsoft make a aerobatic contest add > on for flight simulator 2002 (standard and professional) and a world > aerobatic championship type add on now that would be so cool I don't know if you realize this or not, but Microsoft does not have any official representatives here, so none of us can answer these kinds of questions about possible upcoming products. (Note that it's possible that if any of us did know, most likely we'd be under a non-disclosure agreement so we couldn't tell you anyway.) You could try suggesting such an add-on by sending Microsoft an email to: Tell_FS@microsoft.com Although it's highly unlikely anyone from Microsoft will answer you, you might try asking these kinds of questions in Microsoft's public newsgroups like microsoft.public.simulators and microsoft.public.games.

Microsoft concentrates on the core product, then relies on 3rd party developers for such addons. --Greenie **6 miles SSE KSJC** -= VPC OffLine Reader Version 1.1.3.1 =- Registered to: Mike Greenwood -OLR.PL v1.76- Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

The addon market is fueled by the SDKs (software development kits) that Microsoft provides. Most high quality addons are produced by folks that are competent programmers, and use these tools. Some 3rd party development is helped along with tools sold by companies such as Abacus, but they are very limited in what they can do. I wouldn't spend alot of money on development kits to try this on your own, unless you are a very good programmer. --Greenie **6 miles SSE KSJC** -= VPC OffLine Reader Version 1.1.3.1 =- Registered to: Mike Greenwood -OLR.PL v1.76- Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
