March 1, 201214 yr I have just uninstalled Flight from my computer after 10 minutes of trying it...It is just not for me,at least not at present..What turned me off was the lessons at the start flying around the ballons,all I wanted to do was sit on a runway and explore the island at my own pace...Maybe I am missing something?but I could not escape the ballons!Besides all that I recently bought a new PC which runs FSX really well..I have had FSX just prior to its official release(from a mate who worked for Microsoft) but it never ran at an acceptable level for me to enjoy...Now it does and I have just recently uninstalled FS9 from my pc after years and years of great fun and enjoyment..I now look forward to the same from X,but will definitely be keeping an eye on FLIGHT to see how it pans out in the future..

March 1, 201214 yr I installed Flight last night. I was really turned off by the 2 "lessons" as well, especially since I am an FAA licensed pilot. Fortunately you are not forced to complete the next 2 lessons. After you do the first 2 lessons, you can break out of the 3rd one and go to FREE Fllight. I was only able to try to Icon A5 though... Windows Live for Games simply does not function properly on my computer, ever. I am one of the few unlucky Microsoft "customers" stuck with an "unable to update profile" error that has plagued by system since the DiRT2 days. Microsoft was never able to figure out my problem. Guess I will not be allowed to fly the Stearman and I will forever be prevented for purchasing any DLC for this thing since all of those things require you to login to Live.

March 1, 201214 yr I too have uninstalled Flight after trying it for about 30 min. Too much like a game. Edited March 1, 201214 yr by 1586230CFI "A good landing is one you can walk away from.

March 1, 201214 yr I installed it it flew it for ten mins then decided I needed to get rid of it. I was to tired to do that 12.30am so deleted it the next morning, the fact that it resided on my machine for more than six hours really upsets me.Wycliffe
