  1. In the manual: If you want to use those features, you need to sign in but you can just appear offline to contacts and in the multiplayer settings make it Private so people can't join your game.EDIT: are you saying it automatically signs you in? Sorry I'm on a Mac now so I can't test it, but I think you can sign out by pressing the Home button and pressing sign out?
  2. In a way I'm kind of glad there isn't AP on these aircraft, because I'm always sooo tempted to let autopilot fly the majority of the ILS approach in FSX (and the route). It's really tempting to stick the 737 ngx on AP and go and have dinner, then come back and land :P. The hours end up in the logbook, but you werent really there. In the Maule missions in Flight you need to be there the whole time (if you want the extra XP for not skipping heheh)
  3. Bought both Hawaii pack and Maule :PWith the Maule...took a while to realize that the airspeed indicator indicates knots on the inner dial, and mph on the outer. No wonder the landing speeds seemed waaaay off :LMAO:
  4. Thanks heaps! I didn't know that XML file existed, the trim sensitivity was my only real gripe as I said in another post :P@handygaz when you hover your mouse over the trim wheel in the VC you can see the % trim, is that number actually changing?
  5. I don't agree with the either/or mentallity about Microsoft Flight being a simulator or game.Just because it is dominant in gameplay elements and is marketed as a game, doesn't mean that it cannot also be a simulation. Maybe it's semantics here - it's easy to get into a debate on what constitutes a simulation. Ultimately, I'll hazard a guess that over time more hardcore simmers will start to see the simulator in Microsoft Flight.I had flown only 30 or so hours in a Piper Warrior in real life, but if I recall those flying days correctly, Microsoft Flight's light airplane handling charateristics seem heaps more genuine than any of FSX defaults (I only have PMDG jet addons so I admit I can't say much about quality piston addons for FSX). In any case, if you haven't flown a certain type of aircraft in real life, you can't really make a sound judgement on that same aircraft in a simulator.Of course, the lack of proper customizability (of weather for example), might end up making Microsoft Flight much less viable as a simulator. Well, I still have my hopes up as Microsoft develops this over time! :-)
