Okay, I'm sure there's going to be a lot of these, but I'll be quick.

Flight is perfect.  Flawless, only flawless for what it is trying to be.  It's a game that looks good, runs great, and I can see how it would be fun to play if you have NO FS experience or knowledge.

For us though, it's terrible.  Too restrictive, expensive DLC, too easy, too intrusive, etc.

All I have to say is support it.  Not with money, just download it, play it for a bit, and show Microsoft you are interested, but you need more. 

I want to see the engine running it released as Flight Pro, with the whole world but barebones.  Let US create the content, it'll be great.

I'd have to agree... I think it's better than FSX, yet completely terrible in comparison. It does what it does, and I think it looks nice and runs well... But it's no sequel for us.


They went out to create a game to bring in the new generation, but forgot that they can easily dumb down 'mega' version for those guys whilst letting the fans carry on with what they do best.

I also agree. I've been Flight Simming for 6 years & I know that no third-party is a dumb idea.

If there was no third-party when we started Simming we would have given up in 6 months.

I would be interested to know what Pete thinks as he was an insider for a while prior to release and got to see everything from the other side of the fence.

I'm a freak for freedom and control - ME controlling what I do. How can I enthuse about a game telling me what to do

Absolutely! As I see it, Flight feels like a  game.  FSX feels like a simulator. Totally different ball game.

Gran Turismo, Forza, etc are considered simulators due to their modeling of cars' systems and physics despite not having some free roam where you can drive around a city.  Flight is still a simulator, it has even better physics modeling for GA planes (and captures the feel of flying them better) than FSX.  I don't think anyone here wants to face the fact that Flight is running on an extremely solid and improved engine just out of rage over the lack of third party addons.

We are not a mindless mob you know. We each have a valid point about why Flight is good or not good.

In my opinion Flight isn't a Sim & that is my un-baised opinion.

"Zach" , whatever - guess you don't see the lack of A.I. traffic - or Lack of being able to land on ships - or the lack of any ATC (air Traffic Control) , and how about those super cool "Whirly Birds" (helicopters) that just aren't there , or those Fighter Jets that magically disappeared and the it'll cost almost 20.00 a pop for other downloads . I dunno' I just don't ever see me end up with almost $1000.00 - 1500.00 dollars in just add on's for a sim (just add on's) !  Ahh, it is what it is !  "Junkkkkkk" !!
