There is a thread where one of the (former) Flight team members "Loki" answers some crucial questions for Flight customers:

 

http://forums.steamp...d.php?t=2841556

 

 

1. Will the servers that allow us to use the DLC remain online forever?

 

2. Despite stopping active development, will you still fix bugs?

 

 

1. Server will remain up for the forseeable future (barring meteor strike ect)

 

2. unknown on what we can do code wise. when I get more info I will share it.

 

While we are not making any new content (beyond a plane that was finished prior to the decision to shut down production of future content)you will be able to use any purchased content, you will be able to purchase new content, and the multiplayer features will still be functional.

I hope this eases some of the "Flight" customers pain...

So apparently a new - final - DLC plane will still be released!(?)

Or maybe it means just that you can buy existing DLC which you yourself don't own yet... ?

From Loki:

 

Speculation is part of human nature, we all do it. When I can provide more info about the plane I will, personally I think it's pretty cool, so here's hoping we can get it released.

I Wonder what plane that is ....someone that had a pen an a paper next to him took some notes and left the important thing in that paper for the next time around. Once again its a waiting game to be pick up later on ,ill be waiting .....

Ah ok, didn't go to actual site. That's good to hear, I hope they get it released.

Another plane maybe?

That certainly might be interesting, if they were to release it - although, not sure what they might hope to gain by doing so. But then I was surprised they released the Carbon Cub the day before the announcement of killing off Flight.

If they do, let's hope it has a cockpit. :lol:

Amen brother. I still do not know if I will by the Cub, I probably will but guess I am just still not in the mood after yesterday's announcement.

Here's how it went down for me: Got home from work, promptly downloaded the cubby, fired it up in Flight for a test run, thought it was the bees knees. Had dreams of MS providing more content for said cubby, logged onto AVSIM to see what others were saying about it. Oh what's this, MS is shuttering Flight?....awesome....shoulda saved my $15 worth of MS points.

 

Although I really like what they did with the VC cub and think it is a cool plane, it is still on a platform with no future. I just have a hard time enjoying Flight anymore with this constantly nagging at me. Despite its shortcomings I thought it really had potential given the proper focus and time.

I think that is my problem as well, I have not even launched Flight yet since this announcement came across here - which is highly unusual for me. I am sure I will, just not sure when. And I will probably end up deciding to get the Carbon Cub, even though it is all over just to have another plane to play with what I do have of Flight. My primary focus will be moving over to my other sims, but am sure I will still run Flight some, just no where near as much as I did.

Join the club. It seems to be a common reaction. I am not exactly sure what it all means, but I certainly feel it too!

I made a 40 minute or so flight in the Cub and the magic was gone. It's still a great plane and I was over decent scenery, in good weather and great lighting, but the awareness of driving down a dead-end street never faded.

 

It was so depressing I'm not even sure if I'll give it another shot.

 

On the other hand, I'm looking semi-seriously at Trade-a-Plane for the first time in years. We shall see...

Well, in my case I started Flight, got the aerocache located about 1/2 a mile from the departure runway and closed the game. Less than 5 minutes.

 

I don't even know why I went to get the dammed aerocache.

 

This sucks. (sorry)

Yeah, I think those of us that really liked Flight for what it was and spent a lot of time with it, are feeling pretty much the same thing... an end to something we thought could be really great...

Really difficult to get excited about taking that next flight. I'll sleep on it.
