(Just read that in the French news today, no english version available yet)
Microsoft has organized a press demo of Flight Sim X (release in October) while flying in an Astar near Paris. Guess what happened.... hydraulics failure... followed by a T/R failure quite close to the ground !!
The pilot managed to land the a/c ( picture here : http://www.pcinpact.com/images/bd/news/32393.jpg)
All survived, minor injuries, no real details so far. Congrats to the pilot !

I still don't understand why MS organised a flight sim demo... in flight ! :confused:
As mentionned in the article, it's quite scary to think about the the next Combat Flight Simulator demo :eek:
