MS Flight is now available on STEAM ... for free

All I needed to hear was no track ir support to know that free was overpriced for this. Especially when free to play games are always the most expensive if you actually want the amount of content that is standard in the industry.

How sad would it be should the CloD dev.team behave the same way...

Actually while no official date has been announced, they are working in implementing Track IR in a future update.

What's really horrible about this sim is their DLC policy. They have just released a new A6M2 Zero plane as DLC without a cockpit. A Japanese Zero plane in Hawaii/Pearl Harbor environment. Their marketing team is nuts.

If the new IL-2 series gets sorted, and the SDK is released, this could be an opportunity to draw the FSX crowd of modders and thus flyers into the IL-2 series. This was part of Olegs original plan, but unfortunately they are still trying to get the new IL-2 game engine working.

I can see IL-2 servers in the future with just civilian aircraft flying over detailed terrain, especially when they can enable DX11. I would have downloaded MS Flight, just to fly around Hawaii, but I didn't find the MS Flight terrain believable enough. I was expecting more since MS Flight had dumbed down everything else they would have developed spectacular terrain, but it didn't happen. That said it could be improved in the future.

you would think a bright guy like Bill Gates would have the balls to tell his MS Flight team/ business dept. to turn off the landing lights on their way out...

Theres no such thing as a free flight sim, DLC... I wish I had the dosh...

The flight instructor just told me to beat up the wedding yatch and to land 30 yards away from the yatch! Bush pilot or what?

Should be stripped of her Instructors licence and be drummed out of the industry!

And what the hell was all that with the Ukulele? Spit girl wasn't so bad after all. At least she kept her mouth shut!

Has anyone flown in an Icon? I thought the flight model was a little bit simplistic? Felt like I was running on rails.

I don't think the real Icon is ready yet, its advance orders only, but its meant to be simple I heard.

As for MS Flight ... LOL
