Microsoft really blew it on this one. I downloaded the demo for Flight! and then found I had to join their "gaming network" just to be able to "play". After setting the "game" up my controls wouldn't work. I couldn't find any options that allow me to adjust sensitivity or calibrate them. I don't like the "arcade" feel nor do I like the fact that I can't just "fly". I hate the fact that I am made to fly a "mission". Plus, why do I have to buy planes, islands, missions ect. just to make it more interesting?? I have been flying flight simulators since FS4 and had been happy with the steady progression of "realisim" that Microsoft (Aces Studios) had approached until now. The reason that FSX didn't do well is because of the high end system that was needed to run it properly.Yes, I know that Flight! is meant to appeal to a "larger audience". But really, who do they think they will attract?? I think that the few that they get to bite will soon be bored with the same old thing and it will prove to be an "Edsel". I truly hope that others feel the same and will refuse to buy this garbage.

You said what you think. Now let the "larger audience" go on with their bussiness
