Its quite amazing how Orbx have invested a company into FSX inspite of its shortcomings and limited architecture. I wonder if they will eventually go into designing a sim of their own. Obviously a massive project but the way they have grown and become industry guru's on FSX and scenery, why not recruit the talent and design an engine?
Perhaps they will link up with an outfit like Outerra and add their two cents.

In any case its great that FSX lives on although I'd love to see an overhauled flight dynamics engine to really improve what I feel is the biggest letdown of the sim. Xplane is on the right track but it is nowhere near FSX with its intuitive interface and amazing scenery and aircraft add-ons.

I see what you're say but there's a huge difference between developing scenery using a development kit provided and designing an engine...

Orbx have put NZAA on hold, due to the developer's health -- I assume this is Mike they're talking about, if so then this is a blow to NZ simming even without NZAA. I hope things work out well.
