Like many other long time flight simmers I have been very pleasantly surprised by Flight. The nice visuals and scenery, excellent performance and sheer fun of flying endeared Flight to me enough to cough up for the Hawaii pack and the Maule. After years of endless tweaking it is so refreshing just to have something that looks great and runs great straight out of the box. No more trawling forums trying to collect tweaks or configuration file edits, no more experimenting with snake oil hily grail tweaks. It just works as it's meant to. Then of course there is the simplicity of the programme itself - I don't have to run through a ten minute ritual of starting and connecting various external programmes, configuring weather, ATC, weight and balance, flight plans... I just double click the Flight icon and within a minute or two I'm in the air.Like so many others I've turned FSX into a complex beast of a simulator and the utter simplicity of Flight is like a breath of fresh air. Perhaps the perfect antidote to the years of FSX frustration and angst that we have all endured to one degree or another.

I use it to "relax" after a whole day of grinding labor on my current FS9/FSX modeling and programming work... :drinks:

I'm enjoying relaxing in Flight after years of FSX.The 'jobs' board and Daily Aerocaches are adding some fun to my flight times. Chasing the odd achievement has been amusing too ('six different animal species in cargo runs', for instance, had my poor old memory trying to work out what the last two were that I hadn't transported yet though..).I bought all the DLC on the premise that I'd have paid £30 (around 45USD?) for the full game if they'd released it that way. I'll see how the pricing works for Alaska, but I expect I'll buy that too. (Looking at how much I've spent on FSX over the years).Good fun - waiting for them to add more features (ATC voice interactions, AP, Garmin 1000, etc.) but having fun barnstorming and hauling ducks in the meantime :Just Kidding:
