September 5, 201015 yr Author Commercial Member I've seen a few people on here post that say they talk to someone who is on the MS Flight team. It's those people that the questions are directed at. :( Brandon Filer
September 6, 201015 yr 2. Will a public beta/demo be released? http://news.cnet.com/8301-13860_3-20013915-56.htmlClose to the bottom of the page:"I wouldn't expect for people to see Flight in public beta this year," Unangst said.I believe the implication is that a public beta is a possibility at some stage, maybe next year.

September 6, 201015 yr Someone I know says he has inside info that Flight is just to be an online multiplayer game and nothing more, however I do not in fact know who his sources are. Personally though I am as confused and uncertain about Flight as everyone else right now.

Personally though I am as confused and uncertain about Flight as everyone else right now.I'm going to say that this is not true. If it is said that they are focusing on realism, performance, and easy add-on development, it should be just as good/better than FS9/FSX. No one ever said it was going to be a "game.":( Brandon Filer
September 7, 201015 yr No one ever said MS Flight was gonna be a simulator either. :( Supporter GhostRecon.net | AGgReSsion WhiteKnight77's Place Mike Shannon
September 7, 201015 yr Well I got inside info from a guy in microsoft marketting.. .he says they dropped the word simulator because it's silly to count past 10 or X, hence the new title.
