Flight School is out

[ChrisJD]

Steam have just announced that Dovetail Games new FS Flight School is available for pre order at £11.99 (UK) before 25th April. You also get a free extra aircraft as well! Waiting to see comments, but it looks nice. ChrisJD

Price is not bad, but (for me, personally) FSX has built in lessons that, if I actually took the time to do them, I would assuredly learn a lot!

I read there will be no downloadable content (DLC) for Flight School. It is separate from the forthcoming release of DTG Flight.

I am with you on that NC.

Only thing I am curious about is it's performance, as it might give an idea on the later this year to be released full flight simulator.

A quick look at Steams site says that Win 7, 8 & 10 64 bit only supported, also graphics are DX11. As standard you get a PA18 Super Cub, PA 28 Cherokee & as I understand it, a DA42 Diamond in June. Comes with 15 lessons, 9 missions & a free flight mode. Lack of DLC may hamper sales, but as mentioned it should be an indicator as to how the full FS will perform. However at what, $20?, it seems a good buy. Video looks good on Steams site ChrisJD

I pre-ordered just so I'd get an earlier delivery of the DA42 that completes the Multi-Engine training and endorsement. Folks who don't pre-order will have to wait at least 60 days before they can get it!

Actually, as a full-time developer, I'm more interested in dissecting how the files and folders are arranged. :encouragement:

Same here... want to see the aircraft folders, sound, textures, etc. ...

I'm thinking along those exact same lines. I don't really have much free time for relaxation flying, but I am keen to have a look under the cowl.

Couple of new pics are out and looking very good!

Well I just pre ordered. At that price who can complain, its about the price of a round of drinks yet hours more fun (hopefully). Plus I look on it as giving encouragement to DTG to carry on investing in flight sims. It`s a small niche market after all.

I doubt seriously I will buy it, but received email this morning from Fly Away Simulations, with a link to a teaser video:
