Microsoft Flight Review - IGN, 5.0/10

[Lionheart]

Not accurate a review in some instances, but I feel it captures the mood of a lot of flight simmers out there, and that includes me! I doubt Flight will have a long life, which is sad really.
Long range haulers, glider pilots and the like will utterly waste their money on Flight.

I hope someone else picks up the reins where MS left off.

Done.... Go to www.prepar3D.com. Uses the former FSX/ESP, has been upgraded 3X to build 1.3, runs faster then FSX, smooth with no stumbles, no hopping planes, can run cars and traffic now, clouds too, and no blinking clouds.... $49.95 for students, $200.00 for regular, $9.95 a month for Dev's. Runs awesome and takes all FSX scenery and planes. And..... you can use it for official training.

If he thinks "landing is easy," then he quite obviously did not try the RV-6 Landing Challenge #2, which is a full ILS landing with a 29 knot crosswind off the starboard front quarter. You have to maintain a well-controlled slip all the way down to about 5' AGL, land on the center line, and have no wheel-skid, and less than 5 fps touchdown. So far, no one has gotten a "Gold" for the landing...

I got gold on Landing Challenge #2 in the RV. It sure wasn't easy and took several attempts!
