You get the big island & two planes only with the free download.

It's £14 for the rest of the islands you also get a plane with the islands, the Vans RV-6A, two-seat, single-engine airplane.
 
Wow, thanks for the link garsands.

£9.99 for one plane! Amazing! £14,99 for the rest of Hawaii.

Imagine how much the UK would cost if they every go that far!

Will probably download the free bit for a play, not tried a flight sim since the Amiga!

£5,000 - £10,000 for the whole world at a guess? :eek:
 
The pricing is inline with the likes of iRacing & Railworks both of which if you bought all of there download content at the moment would cost close to £1,000 + the monthly fee to play iRacing.

iRacing is a great SIMULATOR! Flight isnt a great simulator, arcadey expensive rubbish (i was a beta tester).

Just the big island i'm afraid. The others will be a download on Windows Live along with extra aircraft. MS want stupid money though. Something like 20 quid or so.

Thanks fellers, wow...bit of a bummer there. I thought that It was all the big island of Hawaii when I first heard about it. I hope at least some of the default planes they are selling has a good glass cockpit. Even trainer planes like C172s have blinged-up Garmin glass, some of them with more capability than in a Next Gen 737 or A320 PFD.. (synthetic vision etc)
 
the graphics are lovely - and run very smooth (smoother than FSX)

currently over the Island in a thunderstorm and all good

flight modelling feels "odd" though - finally got through the initial tutorial missions to open up freeflight

no engine or plane sound from chase view either ?
