I'd say that maybe it would be interresting for both sides to partner with Dovetail Games in order to make the best damn flight sim ever (pun intended !), but I really don't know if it's possible... Anyway I'm keeping an eye on both projects !

Dovetail Games is busy working on the next update to TS2015, I guess after that we'll get news both from FSX Steam Edition and the partnership for addons, and Flight of course ! I really hope DTG has secured servers on Steam for Flight. So we can share the TBD new content that Stonelance's work will bring to our little community ! Courage to all

The idea to have to unlock items is very welcome from me Your suggestion of simulated bush flying by setting a max altitude, or a reasonnably technical water landing with some fragile cargo in an imposed weather theme, anything that could bring people to get more Flight time !

Yaye, another one on the exact same subject as above Mork, you could have donbe a bit of effort in reading the lines before you drop yours, talking about respect... Yes it is a shame what Ms have done to Flight, letting a good game/ simulator in middle of its grow go down like this, WE ALL KNOW ! The question you have about MS Flight you can answer just by starting it. You have post only one question that is totally up to you for the answer !!! The modding scene is at its start, you have the resume of what is done by Stonelance and MVGibbage in this very post if you take time to read it as I've done.

Great news for MS Flight, thank you guys for your efforts, they will surely be apprecied around here The work is looking good, I hope you find support in helping you with the fligh model !!

Just to know that someone (you ) is working to put some more pistons in MSF is a smile on my face !

Actually, I laughed a lot at your sig coz I'm playing a bit of Kerbal Space Program in the moment , could be a Kerbal saying

As I said above twice :-P there is a free FSX version of GMap that has the same "widget" interface, and anoter one from which you can change the size of the window, so I don't think so... It would be nice to just have this interface for the Ms Flight version...

Oh Dburne I already know about the AHK script My question is : GMap has some fsx version that can be used in full screen, but not the MS Flight version. I'd like to open gmap for Flight in full screen on my second monitor, the 400*600 (yes I exagerate ) or so GMap window is too often too small for a good use, even if I cannot start my MS Flight without it

There is no right heading of the icon in GMap if you remove the Head Up Display (means the big white bug tracker on top of the screen), whatever the moment you start GMap... Anybody found any solution to have GMap for Flight the same way that the one for FSX : FULLSCREEN ??

If you need some game profiles, you can go to the official website ; or you also can try an internet search in forums, I found that many specialized forums often have a genius about setting Tir for the right game... There are some profiles meant to keep a "large" deadzone that are already set, like the one called GTL Flat-slow. Modifying this one can also be a start for Flight if you need less movement detection

I must say when I was offered a TrackIR4 few years ago I thought wow, what an expense of money for THAT ?? But I have a disabled right arm, and my oh my, there are many games I use it for now !! It started with TDU and FSX, then to Race07, rFactor, TDU2, I even got it worked in a modded version of Oblivion, and many other games... Now I can't run Euro Truck Sim 2, Evochron Mercenary nor Flight without it, it would kill my immersion In some games like Flight, I don't use it all the time, mostly when lateral quick views are necessary (take-off & landing, patrols, fly-by...). The good thing is that it is quick to (de)activate, easy to use with good profiles available for it, easy to configure your own profile in few clics...

I can count up to 9 addon liveries packs that you amazing people made available for us (the lazy ones ). - A-LOHA Icon -Avsim Cub - Basix_Cubs - Carbon_Alaska_Wild_Flight - Carbon_Blue - Goblin Cub Final - stearman livery - White Cub - Zero night livery It would be nice and convenient for advertising your work to have all of them in the same place !

Maybe it would be possible to extract informations from Flight and inject that on a kind of overlay, likle what GMap widget is doing. That plus the "fake cockpit" trick could be the bare minimum... Another "easy" trick would be to substitute another cockpit already built-in, and make the game believe cockpitless planes would be "Deluxe"... I don't think M$ would agree to that ?

Corrected for you

It's been like bit more than 2 weeks that Loki left (or was pushed away ?) indeed...

Try to 1st "buy" them from the web site, then see if it's downloading ingame. If not (or you've got the same bug with -1cr) then DL the previews from the main GFWL application

I am quite sorry about Loki leaving like this, but not as much as I was sorry to see the abrupt and unexplained end of development for Flight. I hope he's got something interesting for him to do at least... About Soliceste and Barbarossa, what is their status towards Flight and future possible betas about bugs ? Are they able to retreive a possible forgotten livery and post it in the DLC list, like Loki have with a plane ? As for getting the last update on GFWL, I know it's there because I've got it, but I'm afraid (not sure though) one will have to delete and reinstall the core game from within the GFWL application in order to have the last published version (that is what happened to me). I had no statistic loss of any kind, just a 1.4Go DL...

Haha, this one is a funny story ! First, you must know I had to reinstall the game once, few monthes ago. As I saw some friends loosing their stats and sometimes datas, I did my reinstall WITHOUT GFWL, I just used all the saved files, and the reinstall without loosing my stats was perfect ! Till the update not showing, the only problem I had was that the GFWL app was telling me to re-download the game (no PLAY button in there). That is what I did yesterday. I just allowed GFWL to go though its natural proccess. Of course I had saved everything, and even done the update throught Steam. But the Steam overlay is (######) preventing FSWidget GMap to work on my computer... So Live did downloaded the game fully, and installed it within minutes, and I had absolutely no problem through the whole process : no data loss, no DLC missing, no stats reset. Just my AotD count was back to 163 but that's ok You see, my case is a bit out of the ordinary, but if the update is live on Live, it does not show that you have to update. Maybe try to start GFWL browser app before you start the game ? uninstall Flight and reinstall (only the main 1.7Go app) ?

My aerocache count varies from 160 to 165, depending on the day. Yesterday it was 165, this morning 160, now 163. I have not collected anything new since some time... But I've got the GFWL version of the game updated, at least

If only, all the energy lost from FSX people "bashing" Flight would have been recycled in this project...

Finding aerocaches is a fun part of the game, that is about flying. There are many ways of doing that. Aerocaches are part of the Flight experience. Loki and Soliceste are quite active to keep Flight alive yes Unfinished but still standing !

Loki, the Steam Flight community manager, has posed a very interesting news : he proposes the community to submit new aerocahes for the game. The post : https://news.microso...-cache-too.aspx Here is the important part of the information : "In order to create an Aerocache we will need the following information: Name of Aerocache Search hint (to let you use in game bing search) Hint (“On the East coast of X” ect) Real world Latitude (DMS/decimal) Real world Longitude (DMS/decimal) Altitude (meters/feet ok, please call out which you are using) Difficulty; Very Easy, Easy, Medium, Hard, Very Hard Experience point value Screenshot of place you want the Aerocache icon placed Screen shot on in game map of your location Starting Airport, which airport in flight you want to have the search start at. Once we get that info (emailing us at [email protected] being the best way), I will poke at some stuff on my side and start providing lists of the Aerocaches with a schedule of when they would be running. " I hope that you have good ideas to make the new caches more fun than the one popping in front of our nose :rolleyes: !! One other thing that I did not saw here is that you can freely participate to the last Flight beta directly from your Steam client...

I know there are good engines for simming, but I don't really understand WHY the flight simming market uses theses engines only for war purposes ? There is a very big racing car community that is still pushing the boundaries of car simming to new engines (like folding tyres or real DX10/11 engines), I've also understood that simulating real-like physics, besides good graphics, is very consuming as long as the equations are not simplified enough for everyone's computer. Look at the weather reports supercomputer's size... From my point of view, the big reason why we don't see same evolution on flight simming is the way it's proposed to people. It seems the main audience is more appealed to FPS and shooting... I hope for an appealing flight simulator that would be "fun" enough to touch this public without the demagogy of shooting games, and so get the funds raised to involve even better realism AND new generation graphics !

I REALLY hope someone can cr**k the code to add essential things that seems to be implemented on this little civilian sim... Does the switch of plane, to get one engine only on C-46, work on the ground too ? I have been quite "busy" these days trying the new TS2013
