Richdre, thanks worked for me as well. I had to attempt to login to 'live', I was told it couldn't and then the game started. Pressing <home> key told me it was not connected to 'live'. I dissed the network by disabling the NIC. I wonder if an O/G firewall would allow you to block it? (I May give that a try).dburne, thanks for the ideas, I tried them but I couldn't get them to work. This is a good forum for flight beginners, and once again thanks all for chipping in and comments.PS - I'm sure I read somewhere that MS Flight was supposed to have an Off-Line option somewhere/how, so if any one does know please add the info here.

dburne, thanks for the reply. I saw that bit in the manual but I couldn't get it to work, just seemed to have to login or don't play.I'll have a look at the options you mentioned in your 2nd post as well later, and report back.My problem is as commented by 'edgarone', at the mo I cannot play offline.Thanks all for the quick replies and comments so far.

This is my first post here, hope I'm in the right place.Can someone please let me know how to play the new MS Flight offline - assuming you can?When I downloaded and installed the game I could play offline OK and fly the first basic plane.I then 'signed up' to get my hands on the free yellow Bi-Plane, and from that point on I always seem to have to log in before I can play.Should I need to log in to 'live' or should I still be able top play offline?I guess I'm missing something as I thought I read somewhere that Flight can be played offline (with certain limitations) but I cant make it.I've started the game, pressed any key and up pops my user account where I can either cancel the login or login to play. From there, I've 'signed out' and created a new 'off line' account by clicking the hyperlink so now I have two accounts.The first one works as above and logs me in to play, the new supposed offline account just sends me off via a browser window to login.Am I missing something?ThanksPS - I'm new to flight sims and from what I tried I quite like Flight, but I prefer to crash offline :-)
