Microsoft makes changes to Flight Simulator

GameSpot spoke with Microsoft representative Matt Pilla today about the changes being made to its upcoming civilian flight sim, Flight Simulator 2002. According to Pilla, the only change being made to the game is the removal of the World Trade Center, which was destroyed in Tuesday's terrorist attacks. The complex will be replaced by open space. No changes to the game's collision detection system will be made. Microsoft will also release a patch next week for previous Flight Simulator games that will remove part of the video introduction to the game that refers to an airplane colliding with a skyscraper.

Flight Simulator 2002 is scheduled for release in October. For more information, take a look at our previous coverage of the game.
