That didn't take long. Wonder why they're releasing it so soon? (Surely it's because of Flight's overwhelming success thus far...) ::)

& this is comes after the MS Flight project leader specifically told us all in a room in December that it would be 'Hawaii only' ......


-  they must have been working on Alaska at that stage already ....  ::)

Well lets' see what else they have in mind ..... But if it starts with, as it seems,  hoodwinking the FS site owners into giving them free publicity ... it would seem to be NOT GEARED AT ANYTHING OTHER THAN MILKING THE COMMUNITY FOR ALL THEY CAN ....

So, Microsoft will release more scenery for Flight ... no big surprise. Microsoft will gin up publicity ... no big surprise. Microsoft will try to get lots of users (and customers for DLC) ... again, not really a big surprise.

Wait a minute...Hawaii to Alaska in a Maule? Is that even possible?

On the bright side, this means other stuff like "no jets" may be false.

Based on what Pete alone has said, is there really a bright side? With MS giving us all the finger with one hand, and reaching for our wallets with the other, are you telling me you're looking forward to more?

Meh.  These packages are cheaper but generally more expansive and functional than most of the payware out there for FSX.  I'm pissed about the loss of freeware addons as much as anyone, but it's blatantly hypocritical for people who buy FSX payware to complain about these addons.

Considering that there are people from the ACES team working on Flight, I'm pretty sure they enjoy flight simulation, too.

Yeah, that's a really ridiculous comparison to make.  ...honestly, this whole fiasco reminds me of when FSX was released.

;D

Three things that should never be discussed at SimV...religion, politics, latest game/sim release from MS...

;D
