1,5GB-----i think.

Right now, I have all the DLC installed, and its 2.29gb. Flight will need a little bit more room then that for cache, and Windows will also need room. Plus you will want more room open later on for DLC. Its never a good idea to fill a hard drive up to max. You want some wiggle room.
Also if anyone is interested in knowing what Flight is, without downloading the game, I made a small video to help explain it.

Definately for the console crowd. No Track IR support-wtf?!? But not bad for a free Stearman-in-Hawaii flight game (not sim) Only thing better than FSX is the plane shadowing.
Just can't compare FSX to Flight, two totally different animals.
Gotta bust you on this. No version of MSFS has ever has official support for TrackIr. FSX had Simcinnect that NP tapped into, but they had to do the work themselvs. 2002 and 2004 had no support so NP had to make a back-door into it. Same with IL2. No support, but NP was able to program in a back door.
NP has already posted that they are working with MS Flight to get support.
Nice video Kevin but when the music plays or the aircraft engines are running your voice-over is lost. I've downloaded "Flight" and from time to time I'll go in a fly for a bit, but with my rig I can actually run FSX with better graphics than Flight. I tried running the graphics up to get the same look that I saw in some of the screenshots (and your video) and the fps dropped too low to be flyable. I've found very little thus far that would make me think this is something I will stick with. Flying around the Island is boring really as I've spent more time looking at dirt and trees than anything that would keep me interested. The buildings are rather drab and lifeless and aside from the areas where they used some photoscenery (mainly around the airports), the rest of the ground textures look no better than what I have now with GEX. Climbing through the clouds seems a bit more realistic than FSX but I can't say that it blows FSX away in that area and the rain was laughable really, as it appeared to be nothing more than straight lines flying through the air. . . .nothing close to what FSX has and no interaction with the aircraft at all, no rain drops on the windshield, etc.
I have been able to get some of the throttle and joystick functions mapped to mirror what I have in FSX but some, despite being accepted during the mapping process failed to function during flight. All in all, my curiosity level is quickly waning and it won't be long before Flight ends up in the "out" bin.:salute:
In the end, I was never able to get past the Live barrier, so no flight for me. But I can live with FSX for now..
I would at least give it a try but will not jump through all the hoops to get a live account.I'm sure thats going to turn a lot of people off.I have steam for my train sim and that can be a pain at times.
If You want to have Track IR in Flight please send to MS small email: msflight@microsoft.com .
Maybe the best way for this take a little pressure. Write, You want buy all ; > dlc but without TiR no way & no fun.
Or? ... Microsoft wants to release a new DLC with TiR support. Next 5$ :icon_lol: . LOL !
short term memory
when FSX was introduced did it run smoothly?...at any setting? on any rig? No
Flight runs smoothly on my rig at about equal settings to FSX - I guess I'm lucky there, but I am NOT using the max settings in either sim/game
It will take a couple of updates from MS to get Flight more optimized..just as it did for FSX..SP1? SP2? anyone...?
As to Live account setup - that was a couple of really tough key clicks there...man, brutal...whew! :kilroy:
...and I still have FSX - for the next 10 years I will have FSX - if I have to set up a machine with ancient Win7 and unplug it from the internets I will have FSX for at least the next 10 years
but time is marching on - If you don't like the direction MS is taking with their franchise - go tell them politely - their website is open and anyone can contact their team - but please use a carrot and leave
the pitchforks, torches and sticks at home. You might get an interesting reply.
