The Official Microsoft Flight Thread

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 ?

Have the flying aids turned off.
 
ok sound was as I accidentally had my sound set to 5.1 and speakers are 2 channel

the graphics are lovely -but I'm not getting the physics engine yet
 
what does B do in the A5 ?

try it in chase mode - is it Brake ? it seemsto set throttle to Zero and put landing gear down (then up if you press again) - with no animation whatsoever ?? !
 
Going to give it a try but from all the talk and what I assumed it would be like from this time last year, it's a flight game for the more basic folk.

I might as well play Pilot Wing 64.

Was really hoping for a sim when they were teasing about a new game, ah well.
Also this is exactly why F2P for some games stink, you end up paying more than you would a full product if you want the full product.
 
For someone who really wanted to like the more hard core sims but was rubbish at them this is awesome for free. Graphics are nice when pumped up and it actually has a game feel to it. Enjoying it allot and its nice and simple :)
 
:) cheers - surprised it made it through the Beta tbh - it was pretty obvious

Don't tell anyone but it's still not 100% bug free :(
They have fixed all of the BIG bugs but there are still some little ones that need fixing so there will be a patch on it's way.
Like most new games its all about making the release day $$$$$.

I can post more at midnight then the NDA ends.

cool cheers - its certainly good for free -no complaints there

can't see me paying £9.99 for an aircraft though - couple of quid maybe
 
Tried this a bit earlier as they released it by mistake 1 day early :rolleyes: not that it matters the game if you can call it that looks circa pre 2001 graphically :eek: & its so full of bugs/glitches/unresponsive controls I am surprised MS ever let this out of beta its simply not something anyone with half a brain cell would ever pay for the DLC is not free its just a free preview.

Flight Unlimited series circa mid 1990's looks/plays better than this complete & utter failure which has the stamp of amateur written all over it whoever approved this project @ MS should be sacked ASAP its an unbelievable waste of time/money to develop & does not even work properly ignoring the 10 year+ old gfx & sub standard controls. Could not even join a friends flight or him mine then on 1 mission it just froze & stopped working plus MS want to force people to use Bing to find certain missions (probably the only reason this ever made it to the public its a stealth Bing hits generator in all but name :eek:).

Shocking new low from MS they really have nothing but contempt for PC gamers the last MS Flight game walks all over this no wonder MS blocked 3rd parties from making content who on earth would want to support such an inferior product.

The reviews I expect will be quite accurately brutal & savage if I were a magazine reviewer this would get around a generous 10% & yes it really is that poor :eek: Its highly likely the worst product MS has ever made for PC & makes AOE online look like Starcraft 2!!!
