It is going to be released on BOTH platforms. It will be in the Xbox Live Pass from Day one. (Xbox Live Pass for PC is coming... I guess this will be one of their new games) No real details were released, just the video. Best forum comment on saw on this from someone named Chris: Microsoft should make “AA Delay simulator.” You have to sit in front of your computer for hours while the departure time keeps incrementing by 10 minutes. If you walk away even for a moment, the plane leaves without you and you lose.

There should also be a mod for things like the drunken idiot passenger disrupting the flight and the emotional support animal that goes on a rampage. Something like a spitting llama.

I don't know if any of us have a computer powerful enough to run this yet.

I don't know if any of us have a computer powerful enough to run this yet. That came to my mind, thinking back on FSX. But this new one is supposed to work on XBox, so I gotta figure they'll optimize around that hardware?

Looks nice. A big (IMO) problem with FSX was that it couldn't fully take advantage of multi-core cpu's. Assuming this can (and why wouldn't it be able to), that should help the performance. I'm going to stay optimistic. I might even consider upgrading this seven-year old machine.
SALUTE TO ALL!

LOL It would have internet activation so you had to start playing at 6am, just to have a patch delay that takes 12 hours.

what they need to improved from FSX IMO:
-slopped runways -better ATC -better GROUND handling/feeling -better use of 2020 hardware -very moddable, be it free or by 3rd party user -better weather/atmosphere as a whole
