I can't understand why they don't offer a Basic and a Deluxe model for DLC, IMHO, I think they would make more money by a long shot offering both models, I know which one I would buy, I really do enjoy Flight, it has so much potential, but unfortunately I don't enjoy flying outside the cockpit, and IRL I don't think you can, I am disappointed with with the news but I guess patience is the key here, I think MS will eventually offer both models. :Hypnotized: That would be nice......

My Flight was doing this all the time, tried 3 reinstalls to no avail, after pulling my hair out trying to fix it .. My solution was to make a new user account and run flight from there, works perfectly now, so, I now have a dedicated user profile for Flight and FSX all good. Don't know why it won't work on the other profile. Gary

Hi I notice a few of you have TrackIR, I am thinking of purchasing TrackIR 4 + TrackClip Pro, I can get it quite a lot cheaper than TrackIR 5 +, I was wondering if TrackIR 4 would be OK?, Is there much difference between them? Now that TrackIR will be supported by Flight, I would realy like to get one or the other. Any of your thoughts would be most appreciated ... I really enjoy Flight, and definitely looking forward to new DLC in the future, not to distant I hope. Thanks in advance.. Gary

Even if I don't purchase this new DLC, I, (we) have had fun trying to find out which aircraft it is, I have learnt a lot more about WWII airplanes in the process, and had some fun at the same time. I will definitely purchase it "IF" it has a CP Gary

I hope it has one of these >>>. P 40 Cockpit

I think it is a P 40c... IMO, this one has the vents. More images here ... http://www.lockonfiles.com/index.php/topic/37228-a2a-p-40c-checkertail-clan-v100a/

I thought it might be from a helicopter as well, but it doesn't seem streamlined enough, to square, but what if and a big MAYBE ??... It's from inside the cockpit of whatever aircraft it is, could be a cooling vent of some sort, Wishful thinking on my behalf. I just want a cockpit. I looked over all my FSX aircraft with a fine tooth comb, nothing similar at all, I might look through all my cockpits now ?? This is not just a Flight sim/game it's a puzzle game as well, and it's keeping the old brain ticking over at the moment, and I haven't even flown today. Gary

Looks like navy camouflage to me, maybe a Helo

Can't find that orifice on a DC-3, will keep looking on other aircraft, I just hope it has a cockpit. It looks old ??

My Logitech 3D pro is working so much better with the update, trim, rudder, pitch up and pitch down working beautifully, much better than before, and even better than FSX, except for the hat switch (very twitchy). I will try the changes to the controls file that are recommended. Gary

The Microsoft Flight web site say's "No cockpit" in the Zero. I will save my money on this one then, "I want a working Cockpit" :Shocked: No cockpit... no buy!!

We certainly have come a long way. I started on the first one.. Enjoy. Gary

To stop the Maule veering left or right, try using the A and D keys to adjust the rudder, I use these 2 keys to steer while taxiing i find that much easier than using the ailerons to steer.Gary

HiI have been flying flight Sims ever since they were invented, way back when?? I had always prided myself on being able to land my aircraft very well, UNTIL!! I stated to try and land Tail Dragger’s in MS Flight, I was getting very annoyed with all the bouncing on down the runway with passengers grunting and groaning, cargo damaged etc. I thought to myself there has got to be a way to land these @#**#@ softly.After reading about Tail Dragger’s on this forum I realized that it is possible.I decided then I needed practice; practice and more practice landing them, after doing touch and goes, which take up a bit of time, I went to the map view moved my little yellow airplane to a good sized airport, zoomed in and placed it in line with a runway at good distance out for an approach preferably into the wind, then hit the fly button, then if I was to close or to far from the runway I adjusted the little yellow airplane on the map until I was happy with that approach distance. I then hit the esc button, saved that position as “Maule practice landings” or whatever. Then it was easy to load in again after each landing. After over 50 landings or so, I can now land the Maule and any tail dragger very softly indeed. And that makes me very happy :yahoo:Now I’d like to share “my method” of landing Tail Dragger’s, especially the Maule:-I find the best way for me is to approach the runway at a steeper glide slope, flaps fully down, speed at around 70 knots heading for the threshold, when at about 100 feet above the start of the runway I slowly bring the nose up ever so gently then at about 50 to 60 feet I try to fly as level as possible watching the attitude gauge to make sure the nose is level over the runway, throttle back a bit keep speed above 60 knots, very gently ease the nose up throttle back a bit nose up very gently keep checking the attitude gauge and ever so slowly touch those big wheels down as soon as they touch throttle back to 0, brake and the rear wheel will gently touch the runway. The secret is to keep the airplane level on touch down, I don’t trim the airplane, I find the trim works better left in neutral, also try using the brake when the wheels first hit the runway, be careful as to much brake may make you might nose dive, a little brake keeps the tail up. The biggest challenge is getting the timing right, speed, nose up, attitude level and a slow decent, but once perfected it is very rewarding. Keep practicing and in a short time you "will" land softly.I prefer to use the mouse in this “Sim/Game” in my opinion it has more control, especially with a gaming mouse where sensitivity can be adjusted on the mouse itself.I hope this helps improve your “Tail Dragger Landings” I am enjoying my jobs a lot more now and no winging passengers . :Talking Ear Off:Happy landings …..
