Hi Folks

Happy 2nd. Birthday !
Especially to those of you folks who were beta-testers.    :good:

Was that really two calendar years ago ?
Frightening, as it feels just like yesterday,
since that Yeeehahh !!!, on realising FLIGHT RTW had been released early, (by a couple of hours only).

I'd great fun that evening, & subsequently,
attempting to reacquire my beta-period's previously earned awards,
particularly those for the various Landing Challenges,
where I was still struggling-away with HI31's sloping & bump-indented runway.

I then progressed to the Hawaiian Adventure Pack's content,
having a hoot again flying the LCs,
my favourites being the RV6-A LC 5 into Lanai, and Maule LC 2 into Haiku in-cloud approaches.

When the Alaska Adventure scenery pack was released
I immediately felt gutted, realising the majority content's detail-level had been degraded to almost FS2004 levels.

Enjoyed the challenges albeit few that there were, especially Alaska -Tatina STOL LC.
Wasn't surprised at all when cancellation was announced shortly afterwards.

Still love it when I launch FLIGHT, and task switch to whatever,
then return to find that startup video playing.
Brings back some great memories.

I do miss FLIGHT's RTM startup video, and the original beta version's music.
Wish we could access some of the unreleased mission/challenge/aircraft content.

I've never felt so frustrated,
died so frequently/spectacularly/or needlessly,
yet had so much fun, in a long time.
Flight's Landing Challenges

FLIGHT - Earn your wings !

Thanks, Paul, we can always count on you. :lol:

 

By the way, how many times have you crashed and is that a world record? Guiness Book, where are you when we need you? :lol:

 

Best regards.

I still dust off FLIGHT when I come home in the evenings and just need a relaxing scenic flight. In fact it seems I've been doing more of that lately.

I still use the beta video and music on the latest version of Flight, as I realized that I had installed the beta on a second computer shortly after final release and backed it up onto a flash drive, just in case I wanted any files for one reason or another. From that, I was able to get the video and music.

Hi Luis

 

1,448 crashes in 324 hours.  :Whistle:  

 

Vast majority being Gold Rush related   :crazy:

and a fair chunk repeatedly forgetting restarting a challenge doesn't reset fuel to prior.

I've been really longing to try the beta build again. Would it be possible for you to send me the files?

Happy Birthday Flight!!!

And with the Flight Toolkit, we can finally start looking into making new content.

Happy Birthday FLIGHT. Just thinking about those first days when it was nearly impossible to keep up with this forum because it was moving so fast. The total excitement of some about what was to come and the extreme negativity of others "in the same community" just because it was not exactly what they wanted to see, right out of the box.

Ooops......

I had a brainfart last night, thinking yesterday was the 28th.    :p0302:

 

FLIGHT was released early @ ~23:00 28/02/2012,

so today is FLIGHT's 2nd. birthday,

though probably officially tomorrow , (1st March).

Wasn't it the 29th actually?

Yep, the official release date was the 29th, but it went live on the Games for Windows LIVE site late on the 28th.

On which time zone?

Its just a matter of getting back into the past...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Managed to get the Original Background, Splash and Video working...but not the sound!

 

 

I never downloaded Flight on release but after the Alaska DLC Came out so I never really got to experience the 'original' Flight. 

Feels good to be back where Microsoft started!

 

Happy Birthday Flight! I hope there's a lot of success to come.

I made a utility a while back to switch back to the RTM sounds: http://forum.avsim.net/topic/410568-flight-music-switcher/.
