Does anyone know if AI is included with the initial Hawaii release?

LOL you all look at the last vid. again, they all have a joystick on their desk....peoples see only what they want to see.... :(

But you don't see that the other end isn't plugged into their computers.

You are always flying 'online' in Flight so you will encounter plenty of other aircraft. Whether or not you can class this as 'Intelligent' is another matter entirely. Probably most of the other gamers will be intent on crashing into you.

You are the one who's confused. It has never been stated anywhere that ONLY a mouse is allowed...Mouse control is only one of several options available, including keyboard, and external hardware.

No Sir!! Not Confused at all!! You can drive a nail into a board with a crane and piledriver but for the task a hammer does just fine and you don't have to be near as smart to use a hammer and it has become very clear that the "not very smart" crowd is the "target market" for the flying car game.

Not totally true.You do NOT have to be online to fly with Flight.And you only see other player's aircraft if you are in a multiplayer session.

Oh youuuuu, at 1:16 in the vid. a guy is using the hatswitch on the joystick to move the view inside the cockpit....can it be a wireless joystick....naaaaa their is a cord attached to it.....so my guess is ....it's plugged into his computer.. Edited February 7, 2012 by alainneedle1

It could be the wireless XBox controller from behind the curtain.

True that, but by default you join a public multiplayer session. There is a mode for creating your own private session. Tried to find the info online but I no longer remember where I read it.

:( you may have a point there..... :(

Maybe the Wizzard will tell us?

Yes. Behold the Wizard! Perhaps the Wizard would also know if there will be a Harry Potter type broom included in a future DLC?

Without ATC to control the free-for-all airborne pandemonium, that will be, uh, . . . interesting.

You probably get a different amount of points awarded depending on how fast you were going and where you hit when you crashed into another multiplayer's plane :(.

What does this mean for ATC? It means, for on-line multi-player flying, MS will have to host the ATC, and we will have to download the ATC client. Without some sort of ATC, on-line flying sessions could never be authentic recreations of real world flying, because individual players will be left to do whatever they want.

it's nice to know there are no grays... either you fly online in total chaos or you fly alone in perfect solitude...what a waste...

[JSkorna 137]

No, it means that there is the same default multiplayer ATC as there is with FS9 and FSX.
