I have it installed now. Not too impressed with it. See my post in the Flight thread.
its fun, free and runs great on my rig...it has free flight, great lighting...the missions arent bad - not my thing but not hateful :kilroy: the way some have described.
and I didn't have to uninstall FSX or surrender my man card or any of that - Flight is OK and cheers to M/S Flight Crew for releasing it a day early.
Tried it. You have to pass the first 2 flight tests before you get to free flight. It is arcade like in all aspects. Very disappointing. yes, the ground textures were OK like ROF, but the water was awful, and the clouds marginal at best. Fun for novices. I don't see REX, Carenado, A2A coming to Flight anytime soon. :sleep:
There are some nice touches but so much is missing as a sim. I hunted for ages for the start key - then realised its the "aircraft on" key.
As a game to get kids interested in flying its great but at the moment I cant take it seriously. And certainly wont buy any addons for it.
Its a true? Track IR doesnt work?
Can anyone find a way of correcting the gamma - either windowed or full screen - without having to alter the whole pc?
I started to download it, but after reading your comments on this thread, stopped it. I'm perfectly happy with FS2004 and intend things to stay that way. With no AI and no TrackIR support, limited scenery and aeroplanes, its not the thing for me!!
Happy Landings,
Martin
If your still flying FS2004, then I doubt Flight is for you!
Though I'm not a Christian there is this line in the bible. I don't know how to translate it into English hehe but it's like try everything and keep the good/best. So I will definitely try this! :icon_lol:
Downloading as we type (and contemplate it seems). ;)
I tried FSX (twice), but as had so much for the older sim and am part of a developer team building FS2004 aeroplanes, have decided to stay with the older simulator. Think 'Flight' appears to be of a game than a decent simulator and can't really see why Microsoft has gone to such effort to produce a product with limited appeal. Most people want to fly over their house, than just one part of the world that they may have only read about or seen on TV.
Like the Eurostar link - have the superb freeware version in FS2004 and what a wonderful LSA it is. Have a lot of time for it, with about 40 hours flying the real thing.
Best wishes,
Martin
Oh well dosen't seem that I'm missing much!
Tried to install it three times -- I give up - it just freezes on the sart up screen and slows my PC to a crawl
Go to support page and says I have a problem (no bloody kidding!)
Uh oh... that shouldn't have happened.It appears you've found a glitch in the system.

I have not had this problem with any addon or game in the past..waste of disc space, bandwidth and time..now deleting for good
I beta tested it and wasnt too impressed. Although flight did have better environmental dynamics such as wind, it lacked in many areas, and with the introduction of free base, cash everywhere else, while not being compatible with anything else; having a restricted and closed developer policy, and generally over all being little more than a childs toy; i'm just not interested.
I instead chose to go in the direction of prepar3D. its produced by a company whos main product is cutting edge aviation products; its backwards compatible with fsx and f9, and the new version 2.0 will have dx11 support; not to mention you can go into space or underwater, add cities towns roads and vehicles ( to drive on the roads ), and it looks almost as good if not as good as anything orbyx puts out, while running faster and more efficiently than fsx. Personally, i feel that with the development thats ongoing at lockheed martin for their P3D product, and the benefits we get out of it, its worth my ten bucks a month.

There's no place like FSX!

Well, I tried it.
Tried to keep an open mind too.
But...
No TrackIR support.
No Force Feedback.
Didn't like the flight dynamics.
Or enough to make me want to spend more on it.
It's good to[LINESTRIKE] be [/LINESTRIKE]stay Home! :icon_lol:
