I'll be at friends but I am taking my system with me. I am getting MSFS X soon so I will be joining you in the skies there soon too.

I will be on this flight Kaly. Its been a while since our wings have been at the same airport.

Not sure where you seen it, but they never annouced a release for alaska. Key words were "on the horizon" For myself that means very shortly, no date yet.

MS has a good idea with Flight, DLC as I has said before is the way of future games. It can help them live past there primes of just being a boxed game. Its proven in other games and especially the former flight sims. I myself have only been on flight once since the end of March. I come here once and a while to check on things. Will I be buying Alaska on release....No. I will wait and see some of the peoples posts here I follow alot and see what they have to say about. Flight could have been so much more than it is now if MS took a different path than they did with the DLC. Releasing dual DLCs of each plane might have been a better idea for those willing to pay more for cockpits. There are still places in Hawaii I have not flown too, I am just bored of the currect cockpit planes.

If people keep snatching up the no cockpit planes, the data MS will see is people love them.Doesn't matter what is said on the forums when the DLC Data that MS uses shows the opposite.example : 10k people complaining vs. 50k downloads (which includes the complainers)No Brainer you would see more.

I am following this one too. I was happy when they said it was being rebooted and the multiplayer aspects really has me too.I am a loyal fan of the Old and failed Cities XL Online. I really enjoyed it but it was ahead of its time for an online city builder. Plus they rushed it to market too quick and the reason showed why for it when it failed 4 or 5 months later when the company went belly up. But they also stated that mods would not be supported right away.If the new C&C Generals comes out and doesn't support mods you will see a lot of disgruntled people there too, as that is another franchise supported by its fans through some pretty big mods.It seems to be a trend though with the DLC and Free to Play era. The games we love and hold so close to us are being rebooted and rebranded under a new strategy and its usually not this is for our loyal fans but more less we want to reach a wide audience which in turns leaves the people that made the games what they are, sitting out in the cold wonder what happen to their fav franchises.

Just a few photos from earlier in the week.I was snapping a photo of Kalo and Drew here. Then out of no where, Ashen tries landing or something and smashes into Drew. On Final to Kona Intl.Series of group photos at Kona Intl.

Sucked I had to leave but the old ball and chain wanted me to spend time watching a movie with her :(

The only thing MS would do if anything is patch the game that would make the widget not work anymore. It takes a lot from them. MS is know for one thing....maybe two when their name is mentioned. Main one is money, MS or as most people put it M$ loves their money and their shareholders love them for the money they make.But it does add extra value, will it add enough for more people to come to flight and spend money......I don't think so but time will tell.

Some shots from Kalo's 3/23 flight.Caught 416 and Dragon making an illegal jellyfish sale with Wheeled. I'll be watching you 3 in the future more closely. You can't hide from me, even under darkness :)Most of us at Honolulu, Kalo ran out of fuel on he way to it but landed safely in a field. (He's the blue circle 3 miles out) :)

Its something you have to think about. A ultra light challenger has 2 seats but if you put a full load of fuel and floats on it, your down to just the pilot unless your second passenger is a little monster. Having the right weight can mean flying next weekend or writing off your life and/or a 100k worth of plane.I really like the feature, I had a cargo mission and was able to get off the ground but could not get the plane to gain additional height, by the time I decided to go the long way around the island it was too late. The ground caught up to me and I ended up in the trees and all my doggies died.

Better than my pig flight Jason, I banked too hard and cause my plane to stall at 700 feet. There was plenty of bacon after that pilot error. :)Kalo how come your chat box is lower in your screen than mine, mine sits about left middle where yours looks like lower left.
