Microsoft Flight

[Dano]

Certainly adds a bit of perspective

if was running 1c, this day, i would go to luthier office, tell im to get is gmae working, stop the tank thingy, and develop a boing 767 simulator, and wait for the money.

no matter how bad COD is at the moment, it has a future, and a bright one i still believe, but this, this is just a dead horse.

Wow, thanks for posting this, especially all the pics. I had been thinking of buying FS + A2A Power 3 Spitfire + effects addons which would easily havevset me back $100+.

I think I'll just redirect that cash towards a new monitor instead and just wait for the upcoming CoD patch (which I know will fix every broken/missing feature mentioned in this forum).

I'm puzzled though. None of your pics had any Barbie fashions -- not even a Spitgirl! Very disappointing.

I was gonna post what i thought but Ailantd took the words right out of my mouth.
And yes, it really is that bad. I played the beta for all of 5 mins and shelved it straight away. Very glad i knew before i bought.

Actually, FSX is not that bad a choice if you don't mind certain FM weaknesses in default FMs and you've got the wallet for a few add-ons that circumvent them. Not everything there is though, just some well done stuff and you'll have a good enough time. For example, getting a weather add-on along with some terrain add-on for the continent you mostly fly, plus a couple of aircraft you like. Plus, today's PCs can actually run it well enough.

I've tried some very good WWII birds on a friend's PC and they have the individual aircraft systems down to a rivet sometimes.
The rest can differ depending on the add-on makers: you may easily see freeware aircraft done to a higher standard than payware add-on.

The thing with civie flight sims is that it's very modular, so individual designers can decide how much to push the envelope. That means you need to do some research before deciding what to buy.

I could easily suggest all A2A products that contain the enhanced accusim module, the FW190s from classics hangar and aerosoft's PBY Catalina. I've flown all of those on various occasions when visiting that buddy of mine and that's how i happened to know enough CEM and then some to transition smoothly to CoD

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A corporation like Microsoft only released such a indescriptible thing that looks even more outdated than FS9.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

Thank you, Ailantd, for posting this
The Devs need maybee every encouragement and positive feedback they can get to go ahead
Thank you for remembering us to recognize a realy bad sim.
Anybody else some humblepie?

In fact CoD have far more customization for the pilot than Flight that only had 4 fixed drawings characters XD
