This program is the continuation of Microsoft's old ESP commercial use simulation platform, most commonly seen in the entertainment form as Flight Simulator X, Service Pack 2. after Microsoft ceased development of their Flight Simulator product line, Lockheed Martin purchased the intellectual property rights (including source code) to the ESP platform, and has continued it's development as a professional (i.e. non-entertainment) training tool, primarily still as a flight simulation program, but also capable of other areas, such as undersea and land based operations.
