I'm unsure of exactly what information has been released on Flight, I haven't been following it's progress as much as some people here might of. Anyway, I've got several expectations for how Flight will turn out, including several features that, IMO, it should defiantly have. I'd like to know how realistic my expectations are, and if any of them have been confirmed or even rumoured to be included in the game...1. Some sort of passengers interface or simulation, similar to FSPassengers for FSX. I think this should have been included since FS2004, because, passengers are the primary reason you fly a passenger aircraft, which are arguably the most popular type of aircraft amongst FS players.2. Advanced airport ground vehicles, including luggage cars, food vehicles, fuel, etc... FSX had luggage cars but they seemed like they were only half complete. I'd like to actually see pieces of luggage going up the conveyor belt into the plane, and ground crew walking around. 3. The ability to walk around the cockpit and cabin of the larger aircraft.4. A fully functional GPWS in the relevant aircraft. 5. This is a given, but improved graphics. I've seen the screenshots and webisodes that MS have released, and I'm pretty impressed. The one thing that annoyed me in previous FS titles were the sheet-like clouds, that do some crazy break dance when you fly past them. Also, the ground scenery at airports NEEDS to be improved upon, the default airports in FSX looked horrible, I don't think I need to elaborate.6. A MUCH improved weather system. FSX's weather system was alright, but didn't seem very realistic to me.7. ATC voices that don't sound like Microsoft Sam.8. Crash effects! Clearly nothing too catastrophic, but something that's an improvement on FSX's 'hit-the-ground-and-stop' effect. 9. Real-world airline liveries available as default, and as AI traffic.10. Some of you may of heard of an add-on for FSX called 'ezdock camera', which basically adds shake effects to the camera when you touch down or is turbulence.That's all I can think of off the top of my head, but Im sure more will come to me :(

Hello!I will be perfectly honest with you... at this point, the answer to all of your inquiries is a definite "I don't know".As of this month, Microsoft has been providing very generalized information about Flight, without going into specifics.The only "in game" screen shots of Microsoft Flight have depicted scenery limited to Hawai'i, with screen shots of a Stearman Kaydet.Microsoft has not released any more specific information, other than an example of setups that might run Flight at Low and High settings,an announcement about Beta Testing, and an article about Sound Production.Microsoft has not disclosed any information pertaining to ALL 10 of your questions.On the other hand, there have been at least 60 Forum pages of rampant speculation, innuendo, and other assorted tidbits posted on this site.If you'd like, go ahead and peruse through these; I think you'll find some awesome comedy, childish statements, and a pervasive "I know more than you do, so your opinion is dirt" attitude.Other than that, your guess is as good as mine; I'm waiting until the product is on the shelves and for someone OF NOTE to give it a complete and unbiased review.
