No.

That statement of yours is getting rather old... :L we get it, no really... we really do. XD

I see where your coming from, but as its not that much dissimilar from FSX as you could plug in an xbox360 controller, and it is seemingly the same as it is currently in Flight. It is however built to welcome people that do have an xbox360 controller (like me, at least until I get a joystick :D) and I appreciate that feature, as PC controls are too clunky for this type of game, which requires very smooth, and slight controls. Im not ashamed because I use an xbox360 controller, as it is all I have at the moment, and even still... Its less fussy if you want to have a quick flight at 2 in the morning before going to bed... don't exactly want to make lots of noise getting a joystick and a rudder peddle set out.Im rambling on now, but theirs my thoughts on the topic. :)*btw, when using the term 'game' it is an umbrella term, it also includes simulation and racing games, and everything in-between. Do not twist my words. "A video game is an electronic form of play that involves interaction with a user interface to generate visual feedback on a video device" - the definition of the word "videogame", game is the common shorthand for videogame. Just being clear. :) Cant believe I have to put a disclaimer on the end of my posts.

Just an addition, a lot of 'noobies' who want to fly, rarely want to fly an ICONA5, or a maule even... From personal experience, many noobs instantly ask me, "so where's the jumbo jets?" Just an interesting addition. They should hurry up with the multi-engine aircraft Everyone wants them . Both noobs and sim-enthusiasts alike (I think) :)

"Some people rarely see what's right in front of them", "some will only see what they want to see", and some are just plain ignorant. A concoction of quotes from movies and books I've read, merged into one. Very true.

Not another one. I am losing hope, not with Flight, but the community. Base conclusions on facts, or don't conclude anything. MS has been quite vague, and unresponsive... Lots of peoples opinions are being based on speculation, and also buIIsh*t (excuse my French) and rumours. That never gets anywhere, other than misleading people. Simply put: WE DO NOT KNOW EVERYTHING JUST YET, HAVE PATIENCE, WAIT FROM WORD FROM MS.(I thought I would make that REALLY stand out, as some people are still reluctant to read, or take notice of this.)I'm not a fan-girl of Flight, I'm also disappointed in some areas, but I base my conclusions from information which I know is from valid sources (MS's website, some Flight articles, and seen gameplay of Flight itself), any other source I simply dismiss as being false, unless proven otherwise. There are a lot of uncertainties at the moment, THERE IS A LOT THAT WILL CHANGE OVER TIME, ANYTHING CAN BE ADDED AT A LATER DATE (from a reputable Flight article), this means anything I wish was included, or want to be included, could be added to Flight in the future, I will be patient for those things. I do not expect everything at launch, as its basically unfinished (compared to past titles), MS wanted to release it this way, as it is a wiser business decision, helping to prevent the game becoming stale, plus they can continuously add new content over time, keeping things fresh.Just be patient, we will know more soon enough. :)*btw, when using the term 'game' it is an umbrella term, it also includes simulation and racing games, and everything in-between.

Its more about draw distance, than the actual world coverage... I will try to clarify: you could have a large area, but only some of it is visible, and even less of it is actually rendered in high detail. The higher detail is what area affects performance most. (to be simple, there is a lot more I could explain, but I do not have the programming knowledge, or the time... ) It is rather silly to say that because Flight has less world coverage, that it would increase performance, in most cases. Just because you e.g. download Antarctica for Flight, that will hardly cause any performance loss. It may take the processor a matter of a few hundred thousandths of a second more time to actually find the scenery file(s) it needs though, but I doubt you would even notice it... If you could, you are likely to be half human, half robot. If you could sense that amount of differentiation, then simply put; you're a super-human. :(

:(

This. :)I look forward from hearing about CES, and the results of the 'interrogations' xD. It would help clear a lot of mess, and maybe change our view on Flight (hopefully), while others will remain stubborn... understandable, knowing how much time and effort people have spent on FS. But still, why not use both? At least consider trying a free game (/sim, who knows)? Theirs nothing to loose but a few minutes. :)

So many beliefs. Hope we get some word from Ms, to clear things up a lot. It would help tremendously, for the communities out there. :)

Sources. Quote a reliable source, or its BS. Its a pain, but since there is a lot of speculation (as always ) Its best to state proof, otherwise it would be unwise to believe what you read/hear. I like facts :)Nice OP BTW, this is how I feel towards Flight, and I don't come here to state wild (and mostly false) things. There is a lot of 'talk' on here, wait till tomorrow to get some first ever responses from MS XD. My advice? (I know your going to troll me, and read too much into... well everything, and be nit-picky of my words) Do what I will do, wait and see. Its that simple. I'm mildly optimistic, I know the foundations are there, as that what Flight is; a base. Dont judge a product, when 1. its not completed, 2. A lot will be added over time, and as more is added, It will likely get better and better. I figure they are gradually adding elements to the game bit by bit, starting small and making their way up to the more advanced things. It makes sense, It would be unwise to jump from e.g. making a maule to then making a 747-8i, with many of its systems simulated. That would be silly. Also, If you are in the beta, I 'hear' :( that in the loading screens of the game, there are tremendous hints to further advanced systems. Dont bash me for my posts, PM me if you have issues with me/my posts :) Peace.(:

Its best not to use quantity of content here as a measure, as the new system will change things a lot. I would consider the game/sim/be picky on your words to be complete when there are many regions to fly to/from. Also when larger scale aircraft are available. (:

Thats how it is now. (from 'youtube' videos) :( :)

This is my exact view on Flight. Seriously, do you have some sort of telepathic ability or something? :((:

Is the MS Flight BETA the entire program? Somehow I doubt so... ;)

I 'imagine' ;) that the areas you haven't purchased, will simply be blurry ground masses, which is going to be fine for longer flights, which you would be very likely to be @ 30,000ft +, so it wouldn't make a difference on quality (from that altitude). Also, I 'imagine' there are no actual boundaries which would cause your aircraft to e.g. crash, only fuel is used to limit your range (but if you didn't use unlimited fuel on FSX, then its pretty much the same thing, and if you run out of fuel, you shouldn't be simming XD)I still see great potential in Flight, its not that much different than the FSX demo (as in the response's from it, going from FS2004 to FSX). I only have a few problems atm, the most prominent being the lack of 3rd Part developers and SDK (we may hear more of this, and hopefully MS will strike a deal), I just hope some 3rd party developers are interested in Flight, because there is definitely huge potential, and if they develop add-ons for flight, that in turn will make more people consider shifting over... so its like a feedback loop. If they join, it gets progressively better over time. If they don't, then Flight may likely end up dying, and I don't want this to happen.Other things like the free2play model, the differences, the new UI and everything, I can get used to (and come to love, definitely an improvement over FSX!). Now please, don't kill my face. Its my opinion, and I have a right to it.

If MS can strike a deal, then Flight will boom. I don't care what flack I get for saying that, but that is my only major problem with it atm. The other changes I can easily accommodate to, especially since Ive had too many frustrations with FSX (so that will likely change my views). I hope that MS will tweak a few aspects, and then some of us (if not too stubborn) can adapt... I just hope for Flight to flourish, as a simulator as well as a 'game'. :)

More assumptions, lovely.

:)

Don't be so stupid, please.

That, I agree on.

"EWW NO, I HATE BRUSSEL SPROUTS MUM!!! THEIR DISGUSTING!!! YUCK!""Just try one dear, you can never know unless you try them!""FINE, BUT I KNOW I HATE THEM I HAD THEM BEFORE!"*Cautiously, the fork approaches your mouth, your face shows you are disgusted* *nom nom* "OMG THESE ARE LUSH!"Do I have to say Flight will make you big and strong when your even older? Please.

I disagree on some points there, as you are being furious over it... understandable, but I want a genuine, completely honest response... that isn't affected by ones personal emotional state XD (trying to be posh a bit, since I cant seem to put it into words)I'm a 'teen', many of us don't like COD (I despise it, with a passion). Don't generalise my age range based on a few stupid kids, screaming over mics online. Its more to do with maturity, than age.Anyway, I doubt that MS had much of an option, other than going the free2play direction. Recession, MS tightening its sphincter on the budget as a result... I honestly thought that MS would cancel the Flight 'project'. I think Its best, you wait till you actually lay your hands on a build of the game (be it final or the beta build), then you can safely comment on whether you like it or not. Its free, so why not give it a try. If only some people could be a little less stubborn, and get out of their comfort zone once in a while, they might find some things that they once hated, they realise they actually like. Its free, there is little to lose other than a few minutes to download, and a few hours to give it a go. There is no sign-up fee, or anything like that. A lot of games are turning towards free to play, It seems that its the games that may otherwise struggle with sales, that are making this turn. Hold your horses about me saying that, just think to yourself... do you really think that we are the ONLY consumer market they are aiming for? Nope. I would have seriously considered going the free2play route, If I was in MS's shoes. (thank god I'm not, right, RIGHT? :( )Anyway, that's my views on the matter. :(Oh golly gosh, I'm feeling rather posh today. :(

I know a lot of you's are very 'passionate' and eager to dismiss this new title, because of various differences compared to previous instalments, but may I ask this:If they approached this from a different angle (I will give an example), would you (s) have reacted differently? Less like a mob filled with fury and disappointment? No no, dont leave just yet... hear me out.For instance, If they had of possibly created a questionnaire, with various options to see whether or not the new direction would be well received, and leave space for peoples opinions and suggestions... all of this before it was set in stone, would you be more forgiving? Some may think the current movement is total blasphemy, and unwise... We don't know how things will turn out, maybe it will work, maybe not. But anyway, what's your genuine views, and what do you think they should have done differently (as in, announcing these changes, for better or for worse).

No. I understand a lot of peoples frustrations, but that would be just silly. Hold your judgements until you are possibly selected for beta, or play the game eventually. Or even if we get any more information next week. Calm down for christ's sake, don't need to be so stubborn people! Just wait, and no I'm not a fan-girl (haven't even touched any FS for over half a year). :)
