2007 SimFlight Awards underway

The 2007 SimFlight Award nominees have been announced and voting has begun. I was happy to see that the Eaglesoft Cessna Citation CJ1 for FSX was in the General Aviation category, though we are up against some really great packages. I like the "open" voting by FS enthusiasts - the way these...
