Flight and Windows 8 Consumer Preview

Featured Replies

Hi all. Used to be a active member here before the board crashed. Has anyone been able to get Flight running under Windows 8? When I click on Xbox live tile the game shows up but it doesn't allow me to actually launch the program. Thanks in advance! Bryan.

Welcome back Bryan. I am sure that if no one has yet run it in Windows 8, someone will shortly and will tell us about it.Kind regards,

Thank you for welcoming me back. :)I did manage to get it to launch by digging through the file system to Program FilesMicrosoft GamesMicrosoft FlightIt seems incompatible with the new interface though. Thanks! Bryan

Once launched how does it run on Win 8 about the same as 7 ?

Hi,I am using the Windows 8 consumer review program and I am running Flight perfectly fine.

When I click on Xbox live tile the game shows up but it doesn't allow me to actually launch the program.
The Xbox Live app from Windows 8 is for Xbox users, to see and talk with your friends of Xbox Live, see your achievements etc... Maybe in the final version of Windows 8 the app will have a better integration with Game for Windows Live programs.

Yea. I added a shortcut to the desktop.. it works from there.

I wonder if people can see better performance on windows 8. My guess is there is no reason to think it but we never know.

Free mind, young attitude.
