Microsoft Flight

[louisv]

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 ?

hahahahahah!! Have you tried with the yogurts?

This product wil be for someone but not for me.
I've tried it for 15 min and feel dissapointed.
For sure there is no way to make a comparison between COD wich wasnt finnished when released and this product that does what was promised but can not stand in the shadow of the COD SIM even in its unfinished state.
Ive looked at the landscape of this MS product and there are square patches all around the trees are something out of a Geof Hammond sim from the nineties ( sorry Geof )
Its free to some extend basicly you get a demo version that you can expand on.
I will not do so, the flight model is verry simplyfied.
I've put it on max acros the bord but it doesnt impress me one bit.
Out of ten I would give it five because it ( seems ) to work as intended.
As the latest ofspring from the Ms flight sim family its a shame.
This product has reached its potential at launch, The Storm of war series is just beginning and has stil to reach its potential.
Al above my opinion Gents,
Those who are happy with it I'm glad you are.

Best description I heard for MS Flight "it's like FSX with a boob job and a frontal lobotomy" it's pretty but dumb.

this is a pic from an F14. the sun are not in the pic and you can see the shinning marks in the glass., maybe in a ww2 fighter, this details are more increment because the poor conditions in airfield, environment and construction designs and materials of that time. (omg, i go so far with this)
it gives you get more inmersive in the game and realism.

No flight control assistance, there is no such thing as "realistic" mode, there is just flight control assistance:
increased stability
smooth braking
auto mixture
propeller effect (reduce)

Well I stand by my previous review. I tried the full no assistance and it feels as it would in an Arcade at the mall. Period.

PS: After binding all the keys and axes, the Stearman is a bit better, landing is a challenge, weather is excellent I must say. But FM ... 80% arcade.
