That moment when you remember it's May and not March. I forgot it's not winter anymore.

Steam normally changes their daily specials at 1000 PST or 1300 EST. This is equivalent to 1800 BST. (BST is equivalent to UTC, GMT, or Zulu time (if any of you are pilots)) So it makes sense that they release new products at the same time. Otherwise it would become a giant hassle to release games at different times of the day.

"I don't know how to turn this thing off". Isn't it simply just move the throttle to idle (or by checklist), check the magnetos, turn mixture to idle cut-off, turn off magnetos, and turn off master switch? (master doesn't work, but still)

MS Flight was really only a failure because of their marketing scheme. You can't just go out and give out parts of the world at relatively high prices, then go out giving aircraft without cockpits for relatively high prices as well. Really if all we wanted to do was get into a plane and fly, MS Flight would suit our needs because it gives the best all round experience. All you need to do is add in DTG Flight School's lessons located at airports in Hawaii or Alaska and you're set to go. You also have a wider range of aircraft than DTG Flight School. I'm taking a wild guess, but if MS Flight had provided the whole world at the same detail as Hawaii and Alaska before its "death" (You can fly in the whole world now because of a great community), DTG might've bought it instead. In terms of today's Flight School, I'm not going to say anything because it's unfair to judge a book by its cover, given alpha footage gameplay or not. All I'm saying is that they've done a wonderful job for first time flight simulator programmers, albeit with a little help.

What a fun ride! It was more icing than lack of fuel (lack of handling), but it was nice seeing him almost be able to land that thing with little to no experience in that condition. :smile: Everything so far I've seen about the modeling and handling is good. It's just the outside environment that needs a lot of coarse and fine tuning. All the people who've released videos and screenshots are using Preview Alpha Build. Give them time, it's not even in Beta yet.

Surprised the aircraft didn't break apart. Exceeded VNE and had quick movements of the flight controls while still past VNO.

The purpose of Flight School is to teach people to fly. What I would expect DTG to be focusing on are flight dynamics, instruction, and possibly airports themselves. You cannot tell if they are fulfilling that goal by watching the video itself. Once they are done with those three major aspects of the Flight School, you can expect them to start fooling around with the weather, shadows, other scenery, AI, etc. This is what I hope they are doing right now after pushing the release date back nearly a full month. The video doesn't look that bad, but according to the Canadian Aviation Regulations (may be different for others), you should not be descending until established on base, while normal circuit height is 1000' Above Ground Level. I'm not expecting them to fix it because it is probably different in other countries, where you may be allowed to descend on downwind. As for DTG Flight Simulator, I am going to keep an open eye out until at least a month before release before I make any decisions or opinions on how it looks.

I wonder what the spectacular price is?

lol what's with the rat in the middle picture up there?

Uhhhhh.... I don't know what to say about those screenies... all I can say was that I was mindblown!

Does FSX need to be installed to be able to convert? I wouldn't mind re-installing it for the conversion, but it would be nice if I didn't need to.

Now that is sweet!

I broke the VSI

Thanks!

Hydroelectric energy being produced in there?

So if I have all the DLC, I don't need this update either?

Thanks Stone! If we don't need to download other DLC, should we not download this update at all? Or should we do it for the next update?

"When the twilight breaks, the dawn will fade. No one knows what the future will hold." "Time waits for no one." It is what it is.

So true, but I don't think programming is a strength of mine.

That would've been nice. If simming ever gets close to reality, I'm guessing it's the next generation who's going to be doing that.

I thought gaming was supposed to be fun. I thought training was supposed to be fun. What's the difference?

I guess we'll have to wait. I can't convert 3rd Party FSX aircraft to Flight anyway.

What plane? I'd be interested by anything! I wonder if a glider would work in Flight.

Cessna 172: Left flaps only work. I believe the weight is tail heavy because the nose rises at 38 knots or so. Airbus A321 (Just for fun): Nose wheel dug into surface of runway, Another nose wheel is an A321's length away from the A321. The aircraft drifts right on takeoff, must put left rudder. Flaps are invisible. All Aircraft, including the Piper Cub: Aircraft registration blacked out.

I get this message from Flight when flying the Piper Cub: "Landing gear down while travelling at high speed. Raise the landing gear by pressing 'g' or button 08."
