I like the airport based jobs and aerocaches. Good if you just want to have a quick flight (best with the waypoint markers turned off)

Ha, I like the picture and (only) one of the songs off the (generally terrible) album... G

Many thanks for the (on topic) reply. Maybe I'll go for the P-40 and give it a go...

thanks, I might just give one of them a bash...

Having resisted the P-51, Zero and P-40 thus far (due to the obvious lack of VC) I'm tempted to give one of them a try out of curiosity...maybe for aerobatics and the like. Is there anything that makes one of the three stand out? Any suggestions of which one to go for?

I'm trying to imagine the look on my girlfriend's face if I "surprised" her with that purchase...

I know this has been said ad nauseum already, but: How different can the P-51, Zero and P-40 be when flown from a chase camera view? I'd be interested to know how many of these planes MS are selling...

Nice tip, thanks. If the deviation bar were shorter (perhaps in a different plane?), aligning it with the lubber line would give a greater intercept angle... or are deviation bars always approx this length?

Has anyone noticed one of the loading screen tips mentions the need to use "seaplanes or helicopters" to get some aerocaches? Maybe helicopters are in the pipeline...

Tune into 115.7 and fly the 157 radial to about 70 DME. At 2000' you should pick up the marker...

Well, another 75 year old aircraft is certainly a disappointment for me (unless it has a VC, of course). But, let's not lose the plot just yet. I would imagine sales of this DLC will not be high and MS will get the message. If it does have a VC, it could be great fun ... and Alaska surely has to be out soon (they said Spring). We had 10 days of sun last month in UK which was apparently Summer; we're now into Autumn I think...

As an Englishman, I'm quite excited. Great Britain is an island of about the right size for a dlc region! I'm not sure what the selling point would be however. Compared to Hawaii and Alaska, the UK landscape would have to be described as "modest" or "crap."

Yep, me too. I'm not sure if it has always been like this or just post-update, though...

Does the grey colour (gray color in American :Peace:) have to have military connotations? Could just be a primer coat...

at the risk of antagonising a moderator ( :Just Kidding: ), the thread didn't begin criticising people, it began by criticising people's unrealistic expectations i.e. development of a sim that had Flght's performance and slickness with FSX's scope and depth for less than £30 (or even free!) is unrealistic. Do I wish Flight covered the whole world for no extra cost? of course I do. Do I wish there were fifty aircraft for no extra cost? we all do, surely? Is this realistic for a game that has a fraction of the sales power of Call of Duty or WoW? no! Some people seem determined to take it as a personal criticism. Some people have even made personal (and verging on the insulting) repostes. All of this is fine (and is what a forum is about) it's just obvious that some people are looking for a row that really isn't there.
