Russ Tillman Thanks for the tip Russ - We did know about ESP, however ESP was also canned with ACES. From their website: Microsoft has ceased further development of Microsoft® ESP™, but ESP remains available to customers and partners. Microsoft is currently exploring 3rd party licensing options for the future of ESP and will announce details at the appropriate time. Also, does anyone know how ESP was different from FSX other than the name change?
