Q:
What is "Microsoft Flight?"
A:
"Microsoft Flight" is a new PC game from Microsoft Game Studios. The new title will be available on the Games for Windows - LIVE service and will bring a new perspective to the long-standing "Flight Simulator" franchise. From new game play elements and enhanced scenery and terrain to new aircraft and integrated content marketplace, it is an entirely new breed of virtual flight. The Games for Windows - LIVE platform sets the stage for all your virtual flight needs while connecting you to a global base of users, content and endless exploration. Microsoft Flight builds off its heritage of deep, immersive simulation and is redesigned to make the experience easier for virtual fliers of all interests and skills.

Looking at the thread the information is more detailed now, but I was just passing it along.

I haven't yet figured it out. Are their planes and airports ?

Is it a better grafics FSX ?

I think the info has been bare at best.

Hell... Nobodys that interested here by the look of the replies.

Just skeptical. Stuff like "will bring a new perspective to the long-standing "Flight Simulator" franchise" and "it is an entirely new breed of virtual flight" is setting off alarm bells.

They keep saying they are focusing on PC development again, and yet in their pre-E3 conference 3/4 of their time was devoted to Kinect. Even the console-gamers don't want to hear about that damn thing, it's got about 2 or 3 titles that might be worth their cash.

They've already proven that they are completely out of touch with gaming in general (imho at least), let alone PC gaming, so personally I don't have high hopes for the future.

My problem with MS Flight, is that I enjoy FSX for its single flyer challenges but I have yet to see anything for MS Flight for me. Everything about it seems to be for those that enjoy flying with others.

It looks breath-taking but I will hold off and see if there is a single-flyer career mode.
