Some areas are getting flight already

I haven't done it yet but I hear you download the installers and then have to log into MS Live to finish the download. Also this server is busy and a bit touchy.

Looks like a helluva price list there. I hope they sell a proper add-on ATC that's worth a sh!t - maybe they can add SID/STAR, emergency situations and regional accents while they're at it...

Hawaiian Adventure Pack. $19.99 Sounds dreamy, The wife and I already have our bags packed and some snacks for the trip.

As a gift from the team, the top contributors to the beta were given tokens for some of the downloads... So I will be able to let you know if the Hawaii Adventure Pack and some of the aircraft are worth the purchase.

I'm able to download the game now, so I'm sure most people should be able to. I don't know if you must wait until tomorrow for the game to activate, but it's still worth trying.

Quite a few others have it up and running so don't think you have to wait. They will tell you if its not available in your area right away.

Show me some pics in the proper forum area. I'd like to see some from other than M$ site..

Downloading Flight now and will post screenshots shortly.

This is one of my New Planes from MS Flight,,, I assume it'll work, for $49.99 ??

Looking forward to those screenshots guys. I'm multitasking here with my taxes so no time to download it myself. 8-)

Just flew around in it. I think it sucks. Stall characteristics are....less than satisfying lets just say. The scenery is well done, although it runs on my system in a less-than-acceptable way. FSX runs smoother for me and FS2004 too me looks better and runs much better. The 'feel' of the Icon and Stearman are just 'soft'. As in 'dumbed down' and yes, I did turn on all possible realism.
Anyways, I am sure to NOT buy anything for it. That said, time to get into FS2004 to wash the stink of Flight of my joystick!

To use a common phrase, +1

And here they are. Will post more later, as long as this community doesn't start filling my thread with hate. If they don't like it, then they can leave. No need to annoy the ones who actually do find a way to enjoy Flight with a bunch of pointless ranting. If you want to rant, send Microsoft an email.

Thanks Brandon, that first shot is really nice!

We are not Ranting, we are expressing our opinions. I believe that without third-party add-ons Flight will just disappear.

You only need to be on a Flight Sim forum for a week to realise that Freeware is the only reason that Flight Simulator has been around as long as it has.

Well said, Andy.
