FLIGHT is already the BEST GA simulator ever made available...I Dare hope, MS follows the right track, and releases the DLCs everyone ever dreamed of...Maybe Thursday's Syndrome is affecting my neurons, or having read in the tips when Flight is loading - "You may need an amphibian or an helicopter to get to some aerocaches", having experienced the most convincing wind shifts/gusts available on a PC-based simulator..., but the fact is, the more I feel, the more I taste the sound, graphics, physics (including weather modelling...), and although not having the time to complete missions or follow aerocaches, the more I get covinced this is actually the best GA simulation platform I have ever used, and that includes about all of those you can name.... :-)Sorry for the "catharsis"... :-)

glad you like it. count me in ;-)

Don't apologise, I feel the same way. Again tonight, I just flew from one airport, across an island to another very hard to spot strip. But this time tracking a Vor. 30 mins of pure flight, no ffwd, no map use. Since when have I done that?

It is a simulator after all... if we try to.

Flight takes me back to Ye Olde Days of the pilot doing everything himself, with no in-cockpit navigation computers keeping track of his exact location via satellites and telling him which which way to go, flying the plane himself rather than pushing a few buttons and breaking out the Uno cards with the copilot and FE while the plane finds it's own way to the destination, and making the approach and landing himself, hands-on the whole time.And I likes it.Oh, and stay off my lawn, you dang kids! <grumble>

i like Flight a lot but calling it the best simulator ever made available is a stretch. It may be the best for you and that's fine. Flight Unlimited 2 still holds that title for me. Happy flying

It certainly is pretty darn good!I do hope you can find some time, to do some of the challenges and missions. Some of the challenges are pretty short, like the landing ones, some others can get long - they can be a lot of fun though as well.Certainly a great core product is there now to build upon, we will see how MS progresses with it.

The ATC in FU2 was owesome, as well as night sceneries, but otherwise Flight is the winner for me :) I have flown the RV 6 for first time yesterday during the intro mission and that under-bridge-and-through-canyon think took my breath...

A Glider would be a great addition :-)It's a biased oppinion, I know, but glider flying and altitude records in wave (I really don't believe FLIGHT's weather model will go that far...) are typical in Hawaii.i.e.:

;-)But it's true, and FLIGHT pretty much resembles Flight Unlimited 2 & 3. Flight Unlimited 2, and then 3 - I still have it installed, with the San Francisco Area from FU2 :-) - are great simulators, but, unfortunately, they stopped in time :-(Regarding ATC, I was so impressed with the ATC model introduced by ProPilot, that even though being great the one in FU2 and 3, I still think ProPilot had the most interesting, even if requiring further devlp, ATC system :-)

Well I don't rightly know. But if you are wrong you are are still almost right. Anyone flying into a setting sun will have a goosebump experience guaranteed, or double your boredom back.Kind regards,

You know what's interesting? This topic is about the very same software that got such a negative review from IGN (and which many agree with). Seems like Flight is a perfect example of a "love it or hate it" thing. All I know is that I'm also in love with the game. :)

What worries me is Flight might get stuck due to lack of new content. Alaska is good news but apparently they plan to release just one new plane in the coming months which in my opinion is not enough.

There is so much to explore in the missions, aerocache hunting, or simple freeflight, that I don't really think it will get boring...;-)

A Glider would be a great addition :-)

100% with you there jcomm.A glider (like the FSX DG808S) and the Hawaii scenery are a "natural fit".... Two nites ago I got a tow out of Santiago headed NE... all the while salivating like a proverbial dog when thinking about a glider for FLIGHT.Glider flight in the upcoming Alaska scenery would be "wonderful" too.

In one of the missions in the Hawaii Pack, you land at an airport that has a bunch of empty gliders on it, similar to the helicopters you see in the game sitting on heli pads :) I wouldnt say they will be added for sure, but it seems reasonable that gliders will be added to the game!
