February 16, 201214 yr I'm pleased with the potential I see in MS Flight and look forward it's official release. With Hawaii (Big Island) as the start point for it's launch with the full islands available as DLC it would have been nice to have a helicopter available as DLC at the start. The classic Bell 206 would have been nice, but even an R-22 would do. Being aimed at bringing in new simmers in is fine but I think MS missed the boat by ignoring a large portion of our community.In the real world choppers are used extensively in the islands so it's puzzling to me why they have been left out at the start. I realize that in terms of "new simmers" a chopper may pose some problems flying if your using only a mouse so not including it in the core package makes sense. As DLC on day one a chopper would have been a much better choice than a VC-less P-51 IMO.Just think MS dropped the ball here.
February 16, 201214 yr Just think MS dropped the ball hereThat is a good point. When you think of flying around Hawaii, helicopters have to be at the top of the list. Probably too complicated for the intended market- "cyclic what?". MS dropped the whole world! :(

Flight isn't about real world aviation so I wouldn't be too puzzled. Simmerhead - Making the virtual skies unsafe since 1987!
