August 24, 201115 yr If you don't believe me then just go look for that ten minute taxi episodeBut we don't believe the Ten Minute Taxi episode. Have you never asked yourself why Microsoft provided its creator or that with the release date but it hasn't provided it to anyone else? Gerry Howard
August 24, 201115 yr Either way for the amount of time FLIGHT has been in development it does sound like it will make it in 2012 around the first quarter.
August 24, 201115 yr Commercial Member Okay. Well it is fun to speculate, and you're entitled to do that. Everyone else is.
August 25, 201115 yr What if Microsoft isn't nearly as far along with Flight as they would lead people to believe. They quickly release some video and photo's at the beginning which only show Hawaii and then zip. Why you ask (which is actually a pretty good question), one possible scenario would be to throw a wrench in the plans of releasing X-Plane 10 too soon and have people switching from FSX to X-Plane. What do you think, Ten Minute Taxi material? Regards, Mike Mann Mike Mann

Even though I have tried it and had an actual copy I hated X-plane
August 25, 201115 yr Commercial Member Same...X-Plane has it's definite downsides. If ANYONE on these forums says they'd easily switch to X-Plane and leave a series that is 30 years old and still going strong for a visually challenged simulator, well, then they are not a true MSFS enthusiast.

A true enthusiast is open to any and all flight simulators.
August 26, 201115 yr I dreamt last night about Microsoft releasing an update - it showed passengers boarding airliners. I woke up this morning and rushed to AVSIM to see if my dream was reality. Sadly not.
August 26, 201115 yr Commercial Member the opposite is true .. A true enthusiast is open to any and all flight simulators. I said MSFS enthusiasts, NOT all flight simulator enthusiasts. A "flight simulator enthusiast" can refer to ANY flight sim, whether it be Flight Gear, X-Lame (oops, i mean plane ) or whatever else. But I said MSFS, now didn't I? Brandon Filer

August 26, 201115 yr Commercial Member I love how everyone is failing to understand what I really meant. Brandon Filer
