Hello, on the FSX beta newsgroups someone posted this, and they think it may well be a new demo, of the completed FSX?

http://www.microsoft...&DisplayLang=en

the new Trial Version is 10.0.60905.0 (versus Beta 3 @ 10.0.60813.1)

It's just more completed textures probably.

"Overview
The Flight Simulator X trial version includes two airports, three missions, and three different aircraft. All of the missions take place at St. Maarten in the Caribbean."

the FPS SHOULD be better. Also, all skins for objects included in the demo are complete. There is also the learjet, so look for that :lol:. There may be other small things, but that's all I know for now.
