Microsoft ESP Debuts as a Platform for Visual Simulation

jurgen — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 13:14:00 GMT

Very exciting news for TTC!
Microsoft is going to release a new product called "Microsoft ESP", it's a new visual-simulation platform and will be available in January 2008.

Companies have approached us in the past about customizing MS Flight Simulator for their needs, but of course we can only develop as far as the Flight Simulator platform lets us
(although, sometimes we find creative ways around the limits ). This new ESP platform will be more flexible therefore we - the flight sim developers - can create truly custom sim experiences for our customers.

Very very exciting news.

LunarPilot - FSimCafe.com Review

LunarPilot reviewed at FSimCafe.com by Gene Davis
http://www.fsimcafe.com/

This add-on is different and that is why I think anyone that is interested in the space race would enjoy this package. It’s truly refreshing and if you have toys like the Track IR this is a marvelous package to have. Priced at $34.95 it is relatively cheaper then other add-ons out on the market and for what you get it’s really a good deal.

LunarPilot Reviewed in German FlightXpress Magazine

jurgen — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 00:26:00 GMT

The leading german flight simulation magazine FlightXpress reviewed LunarPilot in the December 2005 issue.

http://www.flightxpress.de/

...eine derartige Stadt habe ich im FS noch nie gesehen. Und das Verrückte dabei ist, dass die Szenerie, die an Dichte alles in den
Schatten stellt, mit den mitgelieferten Fliegern eine hervorragende Framerate hat.

...I have never seen a city like this in FS. The crazy part is when you use the included aircraft in the really dense city - a scenery that makes everything else look obselete - you'll have a fantastic frame rate.

Kort og hårdt:
Ingen andre fly eller helikopter udvidelser giver så stor underholdningsværdi som JetPak.
Den er nem at gå til, svær at flyve, og giver timevis af underholdning og så er den oven i hatten billig - men den kræver altså at man er villig til at prøve noget helt nyt og kan se det sjove i jetpak´s.

JetPakNG review by Bernardo Srulzon
www.fsstation.com

Conclusion:
Adding it up, JetPakNG is for sure the most innovative and futuristic add-on for Microsoft Flight Simulator today. If you want a break from those heavy jets with complicated procedures, JetPak is right for you. Save one McDonald's meal and buy it - I'm sure that after you fly this, you'll want a real one for yourself! I highly reccomend JetPakNG!

LunarPilot review by Bernardo Srulzon
www.fsstation.com

Final grade: 8/10!

Conclusion:
THINGS-TO-COME has hit the nail on the head with Lunar Pilot. They have introduced a great new dimension for flight simulator - I would never have thought I would have the opportunity to land on the moon right on my computer. It is simply amazing to fly over such complex city and pilot a detailed reproduction of an aircraft that very few astronauts had access. Lunar Pilot is amongst the best and most entertaining add-ons I have at the moment, and I highly recommend it to anyone willing to have an amazing new experience in his simulator.
