Microsoft not out of the flight sim game after all...

Cazador,

It's just sort of silly now that it's been 5-6 years since talk of bob started.

Frankly, I don't care all that much when it comes out. It would just be nice if I had a date so I don't have to keep coming back here all the time just to make sure I didn't, somehow, miss the release.

As far as the video is concerned, with YOUTUBE, flash, and html5, there are a lot of things that are changing video formats. It's actually sort of amazing that we can actually play videos.

AVIs are falling out of use and it's really an issue with the drivers. Sorry to imply that you didn't know what you were doing...I was just trying to suggest that your system needs to be tweaked every once in a while to keep it working... Even then, there's no guarantee. And being on a 64 bit system, you add a few more layers of complexity...often drivers are slow to be developed in 64 bit...
