Dan writes - "Just announced today, Microsoft Studios premiered Microsoft Flight, the casual friendly version of their popular Flight Simulator games will be available as a free download this spring. Here’s the catch, you are limited to the island of hawaii although it’s been said to contain exciting missions, flying challenges and hidden aerocaches"
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.
Casual flightsim... interesting.
The flight model probably stinks, considering that MS laid off their entire flightsim division a couple years back. Hence... "casual". A shame.
Can't complain about free though. Still, if its not a good sim, its probably not worth the disc space to DL it. MS made the greatest flightsim for the longest time.. its a shame they stopped. I wonder how making a free game brings in more profit than the sim games would have, though? DLC I guess?
Month? i dont know when is "spring"
