..of course I will.... :-*...!

I buy/get all sorts of Stuff!.. ;D..!

I've bought all the Flight Sims since FS '98, (including FS 2000, FS 2002, FS 2004, and FSX), and I still have + use them all, so adding "Flight" to my collection will be nothing unusual!

Paul... ;D...!

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

Getting the free Flight download when it's released to try it out is a no-brainer. Beyond that we really need more details. Which downloads, including scenery areas,

Thinking a bit more more about the Poll, and my reply; "cant wait to get it", I suppose that, as the main program is free to run anyway, there is nothing to be lost by downloading it, and trying it out!

It finally comes down to; are we prepared to pay for any/all of the "additions" to improve it/expand it?

I'm eager to try it out in the first place...for free!.. ;)...!

It would be unusual for any FS enthusiast NOT to at least try it out ...

Like Fozzer says, it's from there that the question should be asked .. and until the users experience it - how can they know whether they will want to pay for more or not?

This question needs to be asked after release - and -  'Will you pay for more?'

"Maybe" came the closest for my choice, not because I haven't decided, since I will most likely download it, but as to continuing to download new additions, that depends on how I like the freebie.  Anything past that depends on how much MS is going to charge for scenery and aircraft addons, and the aircraft addons available. Though I'm sure they will eventually offer some high performance military aircraft, I doubt seriously they will offer something like a Battlstar Galactica Viper, or a Buck Rogers Thunderfighter, any time soon.

I will naturally download it, mainly from curiosity to see how well it runs on my low-end system.

None of the poll categories apply to me. I can wait for as long as it takes. I can't get excited about flying around Hawaii however pretty it looks. I've never paid for an addon yet & can't see that changing.

I could be wrong but I see this as an ongoing project. I don't anticipate the whole World or a large selection of aircraft being available for download on the release date. That could take months or even years.

I've no doubt that if "Flight" was to appear in my local Game Store as a full, boxed version of the Sim, the same as the previous boxed versions of the MS Flight simulators, and at a similar price, I would be the first to throw money at it...
...if only just for the experience of trying it out, and comparing it to my other Flight Sims...

...its what I do... ;)...!
