I liked the multi-player option. It would sure be cool to have a bunch of us fly multi-player and all go for a flight somewhere. Something to do on a cold winters day when one does not want to be out in the hangar for it's to cold. Maybe do some short field landings and see who can land the shortest. Things like this for the EAA group or forum members to do together.

I am not sure if any multi-player version of FSX is still around though.
Happy to chime in, and now sorry if may have confused things a little further...!

To be super clear (though I know you know most of this):

MS = Microsoft, FSX (Flight Simulator X) was a Microsoft product, so you didn't confuse those two. JustFlight isn't a simulator product and doesn't have its own engine - they're a company that makes add-on aircraft for FSX, etc. When you buy and download an aircraft from JustFlight, and then install it in FSX, you're not changing the core FSX engine in any way - just adding another cool airplane to the hangar!

Hope that helps straighten it out the rest of the way.

As for multiplayer, the latest iteration of FSX, Dovetail's FSX Steam Edition, has both local and Internet-based multiplayer. Here's the full description of how it works: https://fsxinsider.com/wp-content/up...r-Features.pdf

An EAA Forums multiplayer bash would be a lot of fun!
