Sadly a large number of these did not work, it appears that most 2004 aircraft are incompatible with FSX, however with the large number of Flight Sim modelers out there your favourite FS2004 aircraft will beconverted over to FSX. Next I decided to see if some of my old FS2004 aircraft would work with this new version. This time I got a much better sense of scale. So it was off to Geographx to see if they had a height map/mesh for FSX in their downloads section and lo and behold they had a free 75m mesh, they also had a 20m mesh available for $80 but I decided on the free version as that's what most will likely opt for, so I downloaded it put it in fired it up again. Well the height map is better than in 2004, but it still is lacking and doesn't quire give you a good sense of scale. So i jumped in a little Cessna, selected an airport located in the sounds of the South Island and fired her up. One of the first things I did upon receiving this gem was to do the old how is the height map for NZ in this version test. With even more aircraft than before, even more interconnectedness and cooperation in the form of the Internet, better ground textures and even more places to fly to. What can I say Microsoft have once more surpassed themselves and have securely cemented their position as #1 in the Flight Simulator genre. I was lucky enough back in 2004 in my previous job to have to use Flight Simulator 2004 to develop a couple of customised Flight Sims for helping to train pilots, so it was with some joy that I agreed to test drive the latest Flight Simulator incarnation from Microsoft.
