Guess what? Microsoft Flight has been released! I just got it, and I rate it as 4/5. Thats because my FSX looks better (with that much addons, woot) and I can run it at Medium settings. High settings make my PC lag :P

Test it out, its free:

It's a game now, not a simulator. Too bad.

IL-2 Cliffs of Dover, Lock-On: Flaming Cliffs DCS A-10C Black-Shark and World of Planes is the solution. All hail the emerging world developers for outdoing Microsoft!

Good graphics, but fsx can be better.

Easy to play. Good thing it's free, I wouldn't pay €30 for a game like this - I would expect a simulator, not a game. Why can I only have one plane?

Back to fsx...

You can buy more planes. With time, even 737s and similar airliners will be included for purchase.

But did you notice how Microsoft Flight is more of a game than a simulator?

I doubt collecting the harder aerocaches is even possible on a 737. But when I just want to fly, in a small plane, on a small island, Flight is a good game. But I almost never want to do those three things at the same time.

MS Flight is good at what it does. It is just not made to please simulator-players, but more towards gamers who look for quick rewards.

Quote from: Frost1076 from Uncharted Skies Forums
It means he agrees with it but has nothing of value to add to the conversation... either he could quote the message, or just say: "I agree"
