Good day, I have downloaded and Installed Flight three times now, and all I get is a mission to fly around hot air ballons. As soon as I start Flight I go right ot the ballon mission. If I hit Esc, I get some options but the ones I want, are ghosted out such as Map, or Exit Mission.I have no main menu, with a map mentioned in the Avsim review.Is that all there is to Flight?Hope you can help, Bob.

You absolutely must complete the two very short introductory lessons before Free Flight and the rest of the program is unlocked. Just grin and bear it... :Just Kidding:

-

The first two missions are basically the tutorial for flying the Icon.

- In the first mission/lesson you have to navigate around hot air balloons. You don't have to run into the markers, just fly near them

- Your throttle will not work until you get to the part of the lesson where you are told to increase your throttle, to reach the balloon at a higher altitude.

- The 2nd mission is the Wedding Party mission, where you take off from the airport, navigate to the yacht, and make a water landing.

- Once you complete them both, you will have access to the map (and to free flight, and to everything else).

Unlocked, "Flight" does look good, very smooth. Once we get airliners, more airports etc; this could be a really good sim.

I really REALLY hope MS gets the message and removes the requirement of the first two missions. I wish there was an option to skip that.*EDITED to make it better*

Its really INSTANTLY putting people off and its STUPID.

Well we all got diferent views when it comes to something we dont like . I think it sounds alot better when we could of just say : I wish there was the option of not having to do the initial missions . Now that sounds alot better i think .
