Hello C-VALL, > No ! ESP is just an SDK by M$ And the work of Lockheed Martin is > absolutly separate of FS X. FS X and Prepar3D are totaly different. > Lockheed Martin also promises no compatibility with various X Addons FS. > And ESP is free. Lockheed Martin did not buy anything.
> http://msdn.microsoft.com/fr-fr/library/ff798293.aspx The french (!) page you linked says, that: "The Microsoft® ESP™ SDK is the core component of the ESP product. ESP is a set of tools that enables simulation of real-world objects." ... "The primary tool, ESP.exe, is a flight simulator, and this SDK can be used to create add-on components for it" So ESP is not a SDK, but contains SDKs. About Prepar3d: Lokheed Martin writes on their homepage http://www.prepar3d.com/ about Prepar3d: "Prepar3D furthers the development of Microsoft® ESP™ while maintaining compatibility with Microsoft Flight Simulator X, allowing many thousands of add-ons to be used within Prepar3D." It is different yes, but Prepar3d is based on ESP, and ESP is based on FSX. Lockheed Martin bought ESP and the licences and developed it further for their needs. Not the same, but the same origin and base, and it can be used in the same way for same thing and more. You won't see much difference between a image of FSX and Prepar3d. So I don't see why gene is wrong here. Regards ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.
