The sky's the limit! Now anyone can enjoy the fun, freedom and adventure of flight. Feel the power at your fingertips as you take to the skies and launch into thrilling missions and exciting challenges over the free-to-play Big Island of Hawaii. Take off today and fly into the ever-expanding world of Microsoft FlightCurrently it seems the game is limited to the Hawaii section, however with a free-to-play model hopefully this means we can pick and choose our destinations, something that will be a great new experience for those flying types.
Head over to the official website where you can find the download, and we will try our best to get a local version as soon as possible. You can also set your destination to our game page, where we have breathtaking screenshots as well as news and trailers.

There are only really two proper home user civillian flight sims. MS Fsx and X-Plane. Both are very good. Both have planes that respond somewhat like real planes. Minor dIfferences In things like user interface and the way planes respond to certain undesirable states of flight eg. spins. Otherwise either one would do for practicing something like navigation techniques.

on a similar topic, i've been spending a bit of time in the MD-500E in Take On Helicopters in my spare time recently... they've really gotten it right with fun challenge modes and time trials to keep it interesting.
So is Flight backwards compatible with the extensibility market that's built around FS200x/FSX or a complete start from scratch?

$8 for the P-51 (no-c***pit view)
$15 for the 'maule'
$19 for the 'Hawaii map pack'
I like the concept that MS have gone for with the 'modular' title (buy as much of the game as you want to play) but if this is an indication of what's to come as far as pricing is concerned, I think a lot of ppl will pass on this game.
I highly doubt any of FSX is compatible with MSF, I am curious to see 2 things:
1) what they do as far as 'release schedule' for additional content (and see if the price improves at all) and
2) if they open up the DLC end of the market to all the 3rd party devs that breath so much life into the MS Flight Sim titles.

Person 1: Let's make a great DLC product
Person 2: Yeah good idea, we'll reel suckers in by making the user interface and two minutes worth of gameplay free then ass ream parents when they're kids buy the world expansion pack for $15 times a bajillion on the parent's credit cards
Person 1: DLC DLC DLC. Done. We'll devote 15 hours of development time.
Person 2: OK Cool. Meeting over.
Person 1: Hey wait...let's put aeroplanes in this product!!!
Person 2: Great idea planes = $!!!

If each component was half what they are asking, maybe I'd think about it. But at these prices no chance.

From the X-Plane 10 web page it looks like they have improve the graphics/visuals . ...let see how this goes. I am very confident the flight model will be as good as you can get for the PC.

That reads like one of the 'splash advertising' reviews on the back of a game box :P
I'm by no means defending MSF as it is; it's pricing is totally backwards.
As for the 'community', yea, it would appear that MS have completely shut them out :(
