Microsoft ESP includes a PC-based simulation engine - from its gaming market - plus application development tools and a global geographical, cultural and environmental database.

Initial uses could include laptop simulations allowing pilots to practise new approaches or rehearse missions, says Microsoft, which is charging $799 for an EPS client licence.
