Not too optimistic.

I have heard from a 'reliable source' that the new version of MS Flight Sim
will have full Communications Toolbox support. So you will be able to play
over modem, AppleTalk, TCP/IP, whatever.

When I talked to this person, the project was definately being written. I
think that it is only a matter of time before it is released, assuming no
business weirdnesses from MS.
