    Here however, I have to disagree.
    The amount of money spent into a sim is not a good reason to stick with it. With such a philosophy, a simmer who bought a lot of VFR/bush scenery addons and warbirds for FS9 could never enjoy the OrbX sceneries and the Accusim planes in FSX, which is total nonsense.

    I have spent a lot of money (well, not as much as some people, but quite a lot for me) in FSX, and if XPlane10 starts to get the kind of realistic addons that I like, then I'll start spending money on that sim. I won't stay with a sim knowing that another sim has more realistic and enjoyable addons.

    In the case of Flight, I know that it will not have any addon that could be more realistic and enjoyable than current FSX addons, so I will not switch to that sim. Not until this situation changes.


    So you won't fly FSX either then ?
    Well when FSX came out, not everyone rushed to get it the first day. Some did. At the time there were many great FS9 addons, and it had and still has life in it. I didn't join the 'dark side' until a few years into FSX's run. By that time, computer hardware that could run it reasonably was more affordable, there were more quality addons, solutions had been devolped for it's quirks. I am saying I won't rush out and jump into Flight when I already have all this great stuff for FSX to enjoy. Give it a few years and I will decide then.

    Free, yes.

    Plus 43 Euros if you want to fly over TWO islands with a grand total of 4 aircraft ! :ernae:

    I will Down load it and fly it for the weekend with a few buddies, but honestly, fs9 and fsx are keeping me more the busy with 5 new releases coming out , 3 for fsx alone... I honestly can tell you I just don't have time to fly flight. I hope the title dose very well, but as for now, if I cant build any thing for it I kinda don't have too much time for it.
    I like to share my creations and soon I will be almost freeware, so if I cant build a kick ass plane for it to share with my friends in the community then I wont be supporting it much. Sorry to say that but the "fun" for me is the designing, and fs9 and fsx just keeps a smile on my face in the designing end of things.

    I hope Flight dose well.

    No cockpit view in the mustang. External model only....................WTF.

  8. #33
    Well the exterior of the MS-Flight Mustang is someone's dream/imagination anyway - they must not have used much, if any, actual resource material for it, let alone push any boundaries with the textures/materials...you can get far better, with a bit more money (even less, soon), in FSX.

    Curiosity has got the better of me when it comes to the base/program...it's free after all...should be nice for some Stearman flights around the big island of Hawaii, I should think. ; )

    Haha when I read what your wrote I thought yes what about the Warbirdsim Mustang and then I realised who wrote it...

    For me MS Flight will be installed but will be a fun thing for the kids to play with and I won't be buying any addons....UNLESS it evolves and includes NZ, detailed airports for NZ, more aircraft and NZ AI etc.

    Tried it, and not impressed. It really is an arcade game, unless I missed something?

    I played the beta, and it was pretty good...it was a beta . Its not FSX, but its something new . From what I have seen the addons are pretty cheap (the whole island of Hawaii-less than $20 bucks and a couple of planes $8 to &10 bucks each). I was going for Areofly but from my friends opinion its more of a game than Flight is . Plus what I would spend on Areofly $50+, I can start with Flight .

    For sure, I will take a free version to see it but without a pressure.

    I'll Install, see it, take some , maybe more, , or again something more . Will be very peaceful, maybe I will like it in this time. I will take a credit card, cant read digits so cant buy something. Morning I will not see what I did, I'll take uninstall option of unknown programm, it doesnt look like FSX icon.

    Just looked at the prices for the UK, OUCH! someone at MS forgot to do any currency conversion. Wouldnt be so bad if I could fly around the globe on adventures and generally do as I please, but £10 for an aircraft limited in realism that I can only use around one island unless I shell out what seems to be £15-20 for new small patches for terrain or new 'missions' at the £15 range

    Me thinks for UK types, FSX and FS9, XPlane or even Prepared3D fully modded is going to end up cheaper than a 'free' sim in no time at all.

    Still its new and as a flight simmer, ill get it downloaded at some point and give it a whirl.

    I'll pass... :mixedsmi:

    Instead I'll take delivery of my brand new Canon 5D Mark II. That is a whole lot more exciting!

    Thats going a little far! I think Flight will be a good complament to those sims. There are things it cant do (yet) that the others can. Flight is a great GA VFR sim with so ILS/VOR capability. Its a great way to burn a few hours and some AVG.

    Question about Free FLight ?

    Just downloaded . May seem like a stupid question but is there such a think a "Free Flight" or is it all mission oriented ? Wouldn't mind having the entire Hawaiian chain if I could fly free flight around the islands . Maybe I missed something in the options . I didn't think the ground textures were bad at all . If you like ROF (Rise of Flight) , you probably would enjoy Microsoft Flight .

    im gunna wait i think

    looks nice, but i dont think it will suite me at all

    Yes there is "free flight" but you MUST finish the first two Icon missions (intro, and wedding party) to access the free flight map. I think its stupid they did this, but you learn a lot about Flight in those two training missions.

    Already uninstalled it....you'll know what I mean when you get to that point. No need for me to explain...you'll find out soon enough.

    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 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.
