Initial Thoughts on Flight

Downloaded Flight last night and once I got past the initial startup and training flight I finally managed to get to the menu where by you can choose your plane etc.First thoughts, I don't like the annoying womans voice in the missions but maybe I'll get used to it, I managed to get to Free Flight mode using the Icon A5 I was very impressed, very nice to fly and seemed quite smooth on high settings for everything, so then I decided to try the Boeing Stearman which I needed to sign into my live account to do.OK, I'm signed in and load up the Stearman and now I'm just getting loads of stutters, no smooth flight, this is what annoys me with the Windows environment, it's all the background junk that goes on that just ruins the game.It was late last night so I'll give it another go tonight, maybe my computer was just doing a pile of background processes cus of the new install so maybe that will settle and things will get smooth again.I love the water effects on the sea, looked really good flying low while banking around.I couldn't set up my Saitek Trim wheel as the trim seems to be assigned to buttons only which sense the same button regardless of which way I turned the trim wheel, it would be nice to see that sorted out as an Axis instead.My Flight yoke set up OK, only 1 Throttle Quadrant was visible and my Leo Bodnar interface didn't show up at all.Overall I think Flight could certainly have a bright future if the developers build in enough realism for the hardcore simmers but also keep enough simplicity for the casual gamers.Anyway, just my initial thoughts, maybe more to come later.CheersMartin
