I heard about the game. I've never played a Flight Simulator title though the fact that this game drops that Simulator might mean that it'll be a more accessible game perhaps. I may check it out if the graphics look anything like the announcement trailer that 1up.com had.

Best news I've heard in a long time. Though if they drop the simulation aspects I will be pissed.

Flight will be PC only and from my understanding, Kinect is for the X360. As 3rd party payware developers may or may not be under NDAs, there is still the distinct possibility of a thriving payware market for Flight, but everything is just speculation right now.

Combine the facts that ACES has been shutdown and they dropped the "Sim" from the title means this is probably going to be an arcade flight game to appeal to the casual audience. I doubt we'll see another simulator from Microsoft again.
