It's just the main Abacus site http://www.abacuspub.com/ then click "What's New?" at the top and then "more info" on the first item, EZ-Scenery.  They slipped up and "unofficially" announced that there will be an FSDS3.

If you download the trial version of EZ-Scenery, that blurb is taken from a hyperlink in the help file.  That's from Abacus!!!  What say you now Obi-wan?

Here's what I got earlier today from Abacus before I found that blurb:


So it's not a type-o.  There is a version 3 in the works.  Any word on when the announcement will be?  Ballpark?
