Hello fellow simmers,this is my first post on AVSIM, although I have been visiting the forums and the file library often since the release of FS2004. Like many flight simulation fans, I have hoped that the new release will bring something new to the flight simulation genre. After trying it for a couple of hours, I would like to share my impressions with you:1. "Flight" visually immerses you ... into a very lonely and limited world. There is nothing to interact with, nothing moving to see (although I hear the trees sway a bit). This makes it one of the saddest "games" I have ever seen.2. With FS2004 and FSX, people can contribute, share and thus improve and expand the simulation world. This is how a community is formed. This is why FS2004 is still interesting to me and I still adjust and improve this and that in it. "Flight" is fixed and rigid. The only thing one can say about it is "today I went through that challenge". How would a community form around that?3. About introducing the flight simulation to a new generation - well, my 4-year old son has seen and tried a bunch of flight sims and is most fond of "Plane Arcade" - a small, free game (unfortunately in chech language) in which he can control a plane and also shoot things, and also enjoys flight games on Wii. Interaction is key!I believe that "Flight" will be forgotten next year, as a money-making exercise without a future, while FSX and FS2004 (and X-plane and FlightGear) will still be interesting to many. Cheers, Borislav

Nah - DLC will keep my interest as long as it flows. Flight's flight model is fantastic, so even if it "shut down" today, just the immersion factor of Flight will keep me returning indefinately.

Its one of those things that only time can tell. I think many people out there believe differently however, not least of which would be Microsoft, which has invested millions into the project, and has the longest running and most successful flight simulator franchise in history under its belt.

Hi Borislav,Welcome to AVSIM. I hope you enjoy whatever sim is your choice and make a positve contribution in that community.Posting this kind of provocative introduction, that will certainly cause inflamed controversy is not the way to start.Thread closed.
