Any educated guesses as to a release date. We know from the past that MS likes to release in October to cash in on Christmas shopping which leads me to believe that it will be out in October 2011, can if really be as late as October 2012 ? Add another 12 to 18 months for our fav addons to appear and this baby could be a long long way out.Mark.

My total guess is that, unless we here otherwise by June/July, the release will be next October rather than this.

Take it for what it's worth, but it's not even in Beta yet. So don't look for a 2011 release.

The exact date of the release of FLIGHT has been foretold by Nostradamus. Thus:1. Microsoft = 9 Letters. (Flipped upside down = 6) 2. FLIGHT = 6 Letters. =63. Simulator = 9 Letters. (Flipped upside down = 6)(Notice that MS dropped the Simulator name from the game to confuse us from the prophecy.)Okay so the number 666 has been established. This means that FLIGHT will be released on a day of great horror for humanity. Next:4. The second press release from Microsoft concerning FLIGHT was on DEC. 8. 12+8=205. This is the first version of the product without the Simulator name (again done to confuse us from the ultimae prophecy.) =1So. 20+1=21. We now have the day of release, the 21st day of the month.6. FLIGHT will be released in time for Christmas which falls in the Month of December = 12. Now we have 12/21.7. FLIGHT is still in alpha testing (Alpha being the 1st letter in the Greek Alphabet) = 18. FLIGHT will then proceed into Beta testing (the second letter in the Greek Alphabet) = 2. which equals 12 = 2012.So there can be no doubt that FLIGHT will be released on 12/21/2012. Which coincidently is the end of the Mayan Calandar and the exact day that a meteor will smash into the earth and kill everyone. So, the good news is...MS FLIGHT will be the best version of the game ever released and will include every feature ever asked for and perform at 500 FPS on a Pentium 1. The bad news is shortly after you start your first flight, you will be evaporated in a blinding flash.

Thank God for that.An end to these interminable and tedious posts on the subject of "when do YOU think Flight will be released"CheersAndy

Mike, that's priceless! :(

Mike, can you also deduct and hour? I like to see the announcement before Elinin crashes on Redmond.

1. Priceless has 9 letters. The ninth letter of the aphabet is "I".2. A synonym for "priceless" is "rare" and has 4 letters. That makes "D".3. Another synonym is "cherished" with another 9 letters."O" never mind..... :(

...a meteor will smash into the earth and kill everyone. ...

Will the meteor be modelled in MS FLight (if so, with what L/D?), or will we have to purchase a Meteor add-on from the Flight Marketplace?Any bookies putting odds on the Flight release date yet?Cheers,- jahman.

OK so 2012 is the likely bet. Looks good for investment in computer rebuild then !Mark.

Absolutely! Think Ivy Bridge socket 2011 and NextGen video cards with PCIe 3.0 (2x BW!).(Well, that's my target anyway.)Cheers,- jahman.
