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.
