Microsoft Flight
 

After 10 minutes trying the new released Microsoft Flight the only thing I could thought was to come here and say... THANK YOU devs, seriously... THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH !

I promise never again criticize your landscape, FM, shadows, lighting, colors, whatever... none at all! ( This is not true... but almost XD )

A corporation like Microsoft only released such a indescriptible thing that looks even more outdated than FS9. Horrible plastic sea, extremeley low resolution terrain textures, no smooth transitions between terrains, horrible cross trees from 10 years ago games, 3Dish colors and look in everything with no realistic lighting (not even good looking) at all. Even the clouds are badly ordered and you can see far clouds over closer ones... OMG! Planes and cockpits completely outdated when compared with COD ones and what a flight dinamics with zero sense of being flying. All that in a very small terrain with only 4 planes. And at least in my system, when maxed it provides less fps than CoD, wich is amazing.

So people... seriously... CoD devs, wich are a very smaller team than microsoft one with lot less budget, have achieved something far (very very far) superior product. So, even with the buggy and incomplete CoD, devs deserve our most sincere admiration.

Now... bring us the pach so we can fly it! XD

Really? It's that bad?

Biggest part of MS success with that franchise was because of the CEM. 1c was smart to include that in the new engine, along with the other features that established them as the leader, with the release of Il-2 years ago.

seems ok...
 

I only played for a few minutes and fort it looked alright ... Its a game that I wouldn't compare with cod mind!

At least its free and working ...

1.5 gb download ... I may purchase the add on later

But THIS is really shocking.

are you serious? what have you played till today? barbie fashion? Flight looks very good in my opinion... the weather is far superior to his predecessor and to CoD (there is a weather in CoD???)

The IL2 team has been doing more with less for over a decade, it takes more then big budgets to create a cutting edge cfs. Thats the reason Microsoft was defeated years ago in the cfs market (its a war they couldnt profit from)

Now when the hardware catches up and a patch or two iron's out what is already a deep sim, many ww2 combat sim pilots will be glad Maddox kept the genre alive(despite lack of support from many in the community) cause we all know microsoft isnt going to save us.

Now... bring us the patch so we can fly in formation! lol

With everything graphics on max it looks like good FSX payware,
but forget FM: the Stearman feels more sluggish but otherwise just like the Icon A5 ! So its seems the FM difference between different aircraft is: more or less sluggish. 100% Arcade.

I did not find anything for TrackIR...maybe there is but I deleted it now.

Tiny world, water looks more like colored saran wrap...same look generally, but ridiculous FM. Varying the throttle on the Stearman has very little effect...They say even the experienced sim pilot will like it, well that is an outright lie.

And sooo expensive add ons...the price of a full FSX for a few islands and a couple more planes ! (no cockpit for the Mustang)

I don't think this will fly because it is so very very tame...like looking at nice pictures...maybe for The Sims crowd ?

have you changed the options to realistic?

I got diarrhea every time I hear for MS flight sims....of any kind
