Fire away

[AeroJim]

yea Meigs unfortunately has been closed for a while. . .total bullshit mayor. . .sorry really pisses me off about that one. . . .sneaks in the
middle of the night w/o approval from the FAA and carves a huge X into the runway, 15 planes the next were stuck over Lake Michigan
circling because they had no idea that it was closed down and niether did FSS. Bastard.

[shadows]

a screen of EBBR would be nice or even just a screen

[JayKae]

Another question, for the Beta, is Multiplayer enabled?

Yes, it is and it is a lot of fun too

Some screens:











Some of ATC function:







Top downs:





PS Sorry for the fuzzy pics, I am playing around with a new screenshot prog and it is not working as it should yet

[runibl]

Nice.
That brings another question. Have they changed how FSX takes screens, so it saves them in it's own folder? Or is it as usual, that you have to paste
each screenshot in a paint program.

[xhado13]

That is awesome!! lol I cant wait for multiplayer

[JayKae]

In FsX you can press v and the shot goes to its own folder

[xhado13]

ooohh way easier awesome, so what are the limitations to the Beta? Like can you go anywhere you want? And can the 100Kft barrier be
broken?

lol this is cool, just makes me want FSX even more

[JayKae]

There is no limitations to the official betas. We have to be able to go anywhere, test anywhere and do anything we want

[Airliner]

Oh MAN! And that's the DEFAULT KBOS? VERY nice, for a default airport. However, Terminal C's piers are too tall but...

Question about the AI vehicles/animals - will they have collision physics like the other AI aircraft? Can you collide with ground traffic or get
hit by a bird or will they just pass through you?

If there is a collision, will it be the same old green bar - CRASH or will you take damage - again, bird strikes, etc?

One more thing about the KBOS screenshots - can we expect this level of detail from all default airports or is that considered high-detail
and most will be the generic, block shaped buildings we're used to?

And one last (possibly stupid) question, can you, "Control" AI traffic in single player? Tha's an option I've always wanted but then, you have something more like Tower than FS.

DOH! One more! Will there be any kind of AFCAD style facilities editor for assigning airlines to parking spots or will this remain in the add-on developer's realm?

Damage is possible

Same old green bar with a red CRASH in it if you crash

One more thing about the KBOS screenshots - can we expect this level of detail from all default airports or is that considered high-
detail
and most will be the generic, block shaped buildings we're used to?

It is a lot better across the board but the small airports are still very scarsely classed

No, multiplayer only

As far as I can see it will remain the addon devs realm

[Airliner]

Cool!

About the airport detail, what constitutes a, "small airport?" Are we talking about something like a GA only airport or the smaller
commercial service airports like say, KMHT for example?

[JayKae]

Mainly GA obviously MS has focused a lot on the US so the US gets more details than any other country, for example once again Australia
scenery/LC wise is a mess

Is earth a real round globe this time??? And is it possible to fly over the poles and use polar routes?

[Navymmw]

[JayKae]

Is earth a real round globe this time???

Yes

And is it possible to fly over the poles and use polar routes?

No

how is Logan Airport? is it better then George Grimshaws Logan V.2?

Very nice and yes, I think it is better than George's Logan
