Microsoft not out of the flight sim game after all...

That promo video is probably just another example of Microsoft bullcrap false advertising. Much like the FSX direct X10 screenshot and the CFS3 promo video.

I hope I'm mistaken, but they've had a very poor rep over the last few years. I did enjoy CFS1, but they went down hill ever since. Anyone that suggests Microsofts flight model with its "fill in the blanks" data is more realistic than the IL-2 series has got to be kidding.

Introducing “Microsoft Flight”

Twenty-eight years after the debut of “Microsoft Flight Simulator 1.0,” Microsoft Game Studios also announced the internal development of “Microsoft Flight,” a new Windows exclusive. “Microsoft Flight” will bring a new perspective to the long-standing genre, welcoming everyone, including long-time fans, to experience the magic of flight.

A teaser of the future of Flight on the Windows-based PC is available at http://www.microsoft.com/games/flight..

Sooo ... this is not for XBOX live then which was my original assumption.

MSFT is not going to waste money promoting something they don't intend to do. I'd be willing to bet the project is already significantly underway.

I don't know anymore than what I saw in the video in the first posting.

First I've heard of it, but it looks good to me.

If you look carefullyjust above the video you will see a news clickon. You can get a bit more information that way.

Yeah the news basically says its meant to be a "Windows Live" online game.

That is so "LIVE" does have it's own issues
