I'd love to see Flight be a bit friendlier with 3D stereoscopic viewing than FSX is, so things like the sun and taxi lights don't pop out in the foreground.But if it's not, no big deal. I can live with it. dance_bandwagon.gif

I have been tinkering for years to get AI military aircraft to fly carrier breaks and overhead patterns. A distinction between these and cleared for a visual approach should be made available for AI to simulate as well as for the user to request.Additionally, the existing concept for determining the size of the pattern is unusual and causes FA-18s at MCAS Miramar to fly well into KMYF Montgomery Airspace on downwind to RWY 24L & 24R. This is pretty extreme. So fixing what happens directly on and around the airport might have to come with a completely new product.

And beta testers that at least have an 8th grade diploma and no real world experience..
Agree also here, many nerds develop games without neither passion, real life experience nor adrenaline at all.

You are aware that by the time a product gets to beta, the major features and goals of the project have been established and finalized. Diploma or not, pilots license or not, Microsoft will listen to beta test input on bugfixes, compatibility, and other technical issues with the product - not feature requests, realism criticisms, or other subjective items.

That is true.Once a beta is ready there is no more room for tweaks, just few HW compatibility tests and drivers checks. ( for free BTW.... )This beta testing action has only the will to publicize the product. What kind of feedback can be released by a occasional gamer ?Maybe he can moan there are no missiles or no cheats to allow hacking multiplayer server sessions with injected Mavericks... and so on..nothing more.
