Microsoft Studios has announced that their revival of the long-running Flight Simulator series will launch this spring.
The free-to-play offering, dubbed Microsoft Flight, will initially include the island of Hawaii at launch including a variety of missions, challenges and multiple aircraft to experiment with.
Duuro says: "Microsoft Flight: A perfect landing or a grounded take off?"
To understand exactly what went wrong with Flight, one needs to understand the series’ development history. Many aspects of the Flight Simulator engine were gradually improved, seeing advances with every release, being built upon the previous game little by little. Indeed, the last public release of the traditional Flight Simulator engine was a long descendant from the original Microsoft Flight Simulator release in 1982.
MS really screwed up with PC gaming in general. Its fortunate that we don't need them as the platform is open to all.
Microsoft Studios has released a new update for free-to-play simulator Microsoft Flight; game owners can download the update on Steam now. This update fixes a crash and addresses a Windows 8 compatibility issue.
I am trying to get in this beta.
