Hi. By the end of the month Microsoft flight will be out and free to download. How ever you will have to pay for the extra content like Planes Missions etcfrom windows live.Will you pay?.I dont think i will but i will download the free game part as there is free missions so i will try them and see what the graphics are like. I tried the beta but didnt have access to the online part just the single player missions. But i want to see what its like when its fully done. Ive just orded Xplane 10 which is due on the 17th of this month so i will be playing that more.

I will definitely check it out. The only problem is that I don't have a flight stick and I really have no plans to get one.

If you have a 360 controller you can use that. :)

What do you mean by this? Is it not fun to fly or something? Too arcadey? Explain please... Actually I used to LOVE pilotwings when I was younger, I'm not certain that it's a bad thing.

I think some people were hoping for a new flight simulator.

No, I was in the beta. It got very boring very fast. They never sent me DLC codes, even though I participated in their server test, and I'm certainly not paying 20 bucks just for the rest of Hawaii and 2 more planes when FSX cost me $30 and has 20 something planes and the entire world.

I will fly for sure. I wanted to buy this game for a long time and now that they made it free it's even better. Will it come on Steam though?

Demo is out but don't get too excited cause the rumors are true, this game is a 'for the masses' designed game.

It's much more action oriented and casual driven.

Besides not being a cool thing to say or do, there is only the Hawaii islands so far.

I did. It's pretty cool for just casual flying, but the prices for new planes is ridiculous. I made a blog post if you want to read more.

It can't be more expensive than a copy of FSX Deluxe here in Mexico, that **** costs around 60-70 dollars in here

Well, to buy the two planes available as DLC in the store, you have to pay $23. The free version comes with two planes.

I'll give the game credit for looking 'decent' and good frame rates to go with it. Nice it maxes out my video card instead of cpu.

When it drops in price or has a Game of the Year edition, I might pick this up.

I just looked at the website, but it looks okay. Sort of a hybrid between arcade flying and true simulation. I've never gotten into simulation games but might try a free one. It seems to be structured like an F2P MMO with more DLC coming out every month or so. I don't see myself paying, but maybe if I'm bored with my other games.

The graphics are nice but flying is way too easy, same goes for landing, uaing a mouse and I get it right 90% of the time.

Just for a try, I tried landing with my KB, and 40-50% time I land fine, I expect 10% of the time using a KB, this is ridiculous MS.
