John Binner Posted May 30, 2006 at 04:08 PM Posted May 30, 2006 at 04:08 PM (edited) AVSIM has made some great announcements this past week, and more to come! Join your fellow flight simmers, VATSIM's ZDC ARTCC fly-in during the show, and many others as we welcome in FSX with a Bang! MS will be giving 400 lucky registrants a FREE copy of FSX! From the press release: (for more information visit www.avsim.com for complete registration links and info.) "That's right, FREE! Be one of the first 400 registrants at the AVSIM Convention and Exhibition to be held in September, and you could be the proud owner of the next release of Microsoft's Flight Simulator, FS-X. At the AVSIM Convention Microsoft will be giving away to the first 400 registrants of AVSIM attendees a boxed copy of the upcoming FS-X title (see below - given the timing, product will be shipped after the event). For a simple and low $25 registration fee, you could take home a copy of FS-X and more. The AVSIM Convention, to be held on the weekend of September 15th, 16th and 17th, will be located at the Washington Dulles Hyatt Hotel, and will feature a large presence of MS FS team members, exhibiting and presenting papers on FS-X Sunday the 17th - FIVE HOURS WORTH! Your single entry fee of $25 gets you a chance for a free copy of FS-X and entry to the papers presented on Saturday as well as the MS Team's FS-X sessions on Sunday. In order to be eligable for a copy of FS-X, you must register with PayPal via our Registration Page, and be in attendance. Registrations on Saturday or Sunday of the event will NOT be eligable for the free copy! Let us state that again... You must be in attendance and be one of the first 400 registrants via PayPal to receive your free copy of FS-X. Due to the timing of the release of FS-X, you will be sent the product from the AVSIM Fulfillment Center upon release after the AVSIM Convention. The timing will be dependent upon the MS release schedule and will be fulfilled as soon as MS releases the product! But in any case, as one of the first 400 registrants, you will receive a boxed copy of the next generation of FS! So, sign up today, make your Hyatt reservations, and be sure to be there! This will be the Flight Simulation event of the year and you could walk home with the next generation for free! See our forum for news and updates on the event. AVSIM's 2006 Convention is the only FS event that MS is planning to do this for, so be there and get your free copy of FS-X!" "Microsoft announces a few more surprises for the 2006 AVSIM Convention. AVSIM is pleased to announce that the Microsoft FS team will be giving away a collection of goodies at the AVSIM Convention and here are the details... Microsoft will be giving away a high end video card (four to be exact) at the convention. Two on Friday night at the social, one at the Saturday awards dinner and one at the Microsoft Flight Simulator day on Sunday. How about some more hardware? The MS team will be giving away 12, no you didn't read that wrong, 12 (twelve) USB native Xbox 360 controllers - can you say "cross platform compatibility"??? Or, better yet, can you say "Gamepad"??? Be there! The event of the year is rapidly approaching and you could be the proud owner of a copy of FS-X, simply by registering! Do so today and get in on the excitement and the imminent release of the next generation of Flight Simulator, and possibly be the proud owner of a high end vid card and / or a Xbox 360 controller!" Hope to see everyone there!

I could use a new video card, or even a BETA of FSX, but the airline ticket would make up for anything i could save.
