  • Looks like Flight is aimed at Private non commercial flight

  • Ill be sticking with FSX, I cant see this MF being worth buying a new PC for.

  • This should be interesting

  • I've been selected by Microsoft for the Beta testing. Anyone want updates?

  • @LughGarrick How did they notify you?

  • @dumbenoughou812 by my personal email. I'm out of the country right now, so I won't be able to access the program for 2-3 weeks, depending on how long it takes for these people to gather parts and build my new PC.

  • @LughGarrick Thanks for the response. I applied throught the Flight home page to be a Beta tester, but havn't recieved a response so I was curious to as if I had been passed on. Thanks much!

  • @dumbenoughou812 You're welcome

  • @dumbenoughou812 FYI, I just recieved my notification to download the Beta. Downloading right now and am pretty excited. I believe this is the first Beta in a looooong time that's worth my time testing. Good luck!

  • @dumbenoughou812 We are pleased to announce that in preparation for the final launch later this month, the Microsoft Flight beta will be closing on February 14th, 2012. We’d like to thank all of you, our beta testers, for your invaluable help in getting Microsoft Flight ready for takeoff.

  • @LughGarrick yeah and you're a total sell out like the rest of the the dumbfucks. Repeating; the democratic right to an opinion will get to your fucked up cranium sooner or later.

  • @SPLiFFWORX Who's a sellout? I haven't given any confidential information nor breached any contract agreements with Microsoft. And who has? What's this bullcrap about democratic rights and your opinion? Bitch please, I live in Saudi Arabia. Pretty peaceful here until you decided to be a prick. Go troll somewhere else.

  • @LughGarrick yes can you send the updates to me as well???

  • @varcolac5 They'll come in 2-3 weeks.

  • @LughGarrick thanks i just want to see if in the updates that there will be some features in microsoft flight that might make me get it .from what i heard is it is not a very good simulator.

  • @varcolac5 From the letter I received, it appears they are using the power of modern computers to not only create their best simulator yet, but also add other entertainment components to gather the attention from people who would otherwise get bored of a normal simulator.

  • you fucked up big time.

  • Hope has less choppy FPS

  • better have flawless reality and graphics.....oh and did i mention VATSIM usability!

  • ***THUMBS UP****

    --- Instead of waiting on MS new flight simulator that wont look half as good as others. Check out the MOST REALISTIC flight sim ever!

    --> PROFLIGHTSIMMY [DOT] COM

  • @ProFlightSimmy scam

  • anyone figure out the name of the song? or a similar song lol

  • Dear Microsoft. Please don't fuck up the airbus planes just because you are American.

  • @Xernoxis what is airbus you speak of i only know sukhoi and mig :P and vodka

  • Why is the video that explaining everything set to private?

    How are we meant to watch it...?

  • Will this require a super computer like the last one?

  • @CaLxRoyalty FSX never needed a super computer. Even the cheapest of (modern) laptops would run it reasonably well.

  • @geoffphuket Yea if u want the game to look like crap

  • @CaLxRoyalty I did say 'reasonably well'. Goes without saying that the faster the computer, the better the graphics will be.

  • @geoffphuket I have my comp up to date on everything no virsus plus ive tweaked FSX every way possible have all the service packs and best addons that will make the game run smother. And still I come across freezes, lagg, crashes etc.

    My specs are: Intel Quad core Q6600 at 2.40GHZ, Nvidia 8800 GT and 3 gigs ram. I would think that would be good enough.

  • @CaLxRoyalty Are you multi-tasking?. Try going to Task Manger and turn off all processes not needed. There's quite a list of things going on it the background that you can do without :-)

  • HOLY SHIT ITS ABOUT TIME. WAS DEEP INTO FSX BUT STOPPED FOR A LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG TIME AND NOW I FIND THIS WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  • where do you get it when do u get it and how mutch

  • Hope there is helis, I loved the merlin in flight sim x

  • Does anyone know the song in this video?

  • Microsoft please create a bundle where you can buy rex & orbx with the game its such a drag buying 3 different sets

  • song?

  • I need the music from this trailer!!!

  • is it going to be a stand a lone game or a DLC for microsoft flight simulator X?

  • hopefully u wont need a 4 Ghz cpu to play properly!

  • They need to release it with a lot more Interesting Missions and a Career Mode!!!!!!!!!!

  • @Ivansky1 Flight Simulator never really has been a "game" though. It's always been a simulator that allowed you to go wherever you want to, and display realistic flight characteristics. I feel like this new version is going to be a game, and it will focus on graphics, missions, and game play, rather than flight characteristics itself.

  • Is it worth to build a new computer now or should I wait for Microsoft Flight?

  • @Predator13371 If you are trying to build a Simulator you should definitely wait!!!

  • @Ivansky1 Simulator?, thinking of building a new computer. But the question is, is it worth waiting for Microsoft flight?

  • @Predator13371 When is it going to be released?

  • @danlewis2344 according to rumors, it will be released in winter 2011

  • @Predator13371 Thats is the same times when fsx came out just be for Christmas

  • @danlewis2344 I hope so. Do you think the prices of computer components falls for Christmas?

  • @Predator13371 ya it should

  • Is it true that they have placed the project on hold?

  • when is this going to be released? =)

  • I got a few questions. 1. What kind of system do you have? 2. Do you think a single AMD 6870 will be able to handle Microsoft Flight when it comes out or will I need a second card?(by handle i mean run the game completely maxed out at 1080p) 3. Will Flight continue to cater to both enthusiasts and people new to simulators like the previous games or will it be way more casual?

  • Looks Fantastic, but i bet all the fsx add-ons i bought wont be compatible with it.

    Its a shame cuz i spent alot of money on fsx

    q:j

  • I really do hope this is released for Mac. Knowing the wankers that Microsoft usually are, I doubt it.

  • @AndroidGeeek If there wankers. Why do you want there game :O

  • From all i've read it seems Microsoft will include various gameplay. It seems like you would be able to choose from flying a simulator type gameplay or an arcade type gameplay. Some of my friends who has tried FSX just could not handle it...so they got bored...perhaps the Arcade version will make it easier for them to start up. Perhaps Microsoft will release several different versions. All I know is that I want a "REAL SIMULATOR".

  • @poeticmind74 I think they will make a version ranging from arcade to normal sim and a Pro version for Serous simmers.

  • @poeticmind74 Flight Sims are for real aviation enthusiests. If you get bored playing flight sim, you don't belong there in the first place.

  • @bmjake What are you talking about? I am a HUGE flight simulator enthusist. If you read my post clearly, I said some of my friends who tried it got bored.

  • @poeticmind74 i was speaking hypothetically. "You"= Anyone. Not you in perticular

  • @bmjake No problem, I misunderstood.

  • The new “Microsoft Flight” retains the full fidelity simulation longtime fans have come to expect while offering all players a whole new look and feel, a wide range of new game play and challenges, persistent experiences and social connectivity.

  • when does it come out?

  • YAY, finaly a new Flight sim from microsoft!

  • what a good and beautiful Graphics!

  • You're absolutely right. It is not a simulator at all. At best, it's an emulator. In the end it's just a game with great graphics. The FAA won't even consider it a training tool like they officially do with XPlane.

    I used to play with FSX, then I was able to fly the real things. Now if I can't get into the air, I jump on XPlane. FSX has always had the graphics while XPlane has the realisim in flight dynamics. There is the big difference. Once XPlane 10 comes out, FSX will no longer have an ed

  • ATTENTION: To anyone who hasn't noticed it. It is NO simulation. They ALSO aim for more casual gamers

    -.-'

  • Comment removed

  • I dont care if the graphics are the same as FSX I just want to get more than 5 FPS

  • is this out yet???

  • I....need....this..

  • thumbs up if this vid gave you chills

  • To bad I don't have an IBM super computer, hopefully it doesn't require such high components.

  • What is this tune? Or is it custom made for Microsoft Flight?

  • Go on Wikipedia and search Microsoft Flight, It will tell you the upgrades they are putting in, They said they took the Performance issues into account and they will make it run on latest hardware.

  • ALSO FOR PERFORMANCE IT'S NOT GOING TO GET ANY BETTE THAN CRYSIS 2 SO you only need to build a $700+ PC if you want the parts ask me

  • For thos asking why they removed the tag simulator. Most people think that simulators are boring and no fun so they removed the tag but didn't remove the realism. And cheak out the leaked picture of MS FLIGHT IN my channel

  • theres one small, i mean BIG problem we flight nerds may have.... apparently this might not actually be so much simulator because they are trying to expand their target audience to people who didnt exactly play the previous flight sim games..... aka people who prefer arcadey games....... i so hope this doesn't happen and they keep the realism and even increase it more in this game. Ive been so worried since they shut down ACES Game Studio!!!!!!

  • @owsJD I feel the same way. I think this is going to be more of a game that focuses on graphics (like every other video game now a days) and completely ignore the realistic flight characteristics previous Flight Sim games had. I'm actually kinda worried about this one.

  • you guys should make the planes actually break apart when they get stressed or crash. make them burst into flames and when you crash at an airport have fire trucks put the fires out! that would be awesome!

  • all ya need now is an epic comp to run it :D

  • anybody knows the name of the song?

  • In Microsoft Flight, they should team up with other developers to make the ultimate game. (default things that should be in it)

    Small Planes should be made by Carenado

    Big Planes Should be made by Captain Sim

    Orbx, for the scenery

    Rex for weather

    and other smaller developers for everything else

    That would make the ultimate game!

  • @Boltboxer Holy shit, that would be beast! Do you know by any chance when this game comes out?

  • @tinyman12323 No, they did not release any Beta or Release Information. The trailers and screenshots are all we have unfortunately

  • @Boltboxer PMDG?

  • @raptors222222 Yes, in every major developer. like aerosoft and just flight

  • @Boltboxer Please, God make MS read this comment!!!!

  • @Boltboxer Needs to be some PMDG aswell :D

  • @Boltboxer You forgot about PMDG, my friend ;)

  • It's gonna be okay if they will give SDK for add-on makers.

  • @Boltboxer would be awesome if they used forza 4 graphics

  • @godwarmw2 i wish but the cant cover the entire world with thos amazing gaphics 

  • @Boltboxer Yeah, am not certain they can cover the world with such default graphics...but I am sure in their online market place we will be able to purchase scenery areas. Anyways, as long as the game is accurately modeled and we get good FPS I will be satisfied.

  • What's so special about these graphics ? Water is pretty standard for these days, and the plane is about as detailed as today's cars in racing games.

  • @Symixable have you ever played a flight simulater?

    Racing games dont include that you can race around the whole world wherever you want. Thats why they have better graphics because the game only has to load a small part but hee they have to download like 1000 000 000 000 trees and clouds and effects. That strains the computer so you need a super computer to play the game like that

  • @Boltboxer Yea I used to play FSX a lot back in the day. The main problem was that it was optimized for old hardware. New hardware has new ways of doing things and FSX just wasn't taking advantage of them. What you said is incorrect - that's why we have draw distance and level of detail. They hide lack of detail with fog and other more complex ways.

    New games such as crysis and gta4 are both much more efficient at rendering large maps. Hell - even google earth is better.

  • @Boltboxer I'm not saying the graphics are bad in this video. It's just that with BC3 around the corner it just isn't as impressive as people tend to think. Today's computers could run even better looking games on a larger scale.

  • @Symixable ya i know but you need to spend $10 000 on a super computer to play it

  • I seriously hope this won't be as badly programmed as X was

  • 100 bucks says the graphics wont look remotley like this, but if they do, it will run at 1FPS for most.

  • Comment removed

  • I really could not care less about the ground scenery and the quality details of the overall scenery. What I really want in the upcoming production is extremely accurate cockpit dimensions, very detailed in terms of the cockpit, and make all switches interactive and properly simulated. In other words, make the B747 exactly like or even better than the PMDG 747 without having to pay extra money on those addons just to get the things which are supposed to be in what is called a Simulator.

  • I'd rather have, a large area to fly in than the intire world. Large, but only so big that you start getting bored when you reach the end of the area in a fast jet. That means that you can have more ground details and less lag.

  • I cannot wait for this to come out

  • amazing

  • My computer lagged just viewing this video :(

  • @airbusa1 lol

  • i tink the vfr payware makers and also freeware would go down this is just better then evrything

  • I wish they make details this time cos they have been idle since 2007.

    

  • YOU GUYS LISTINE UP IMPORTANT INFO ON FLIGHT FROM JUN 28 2011

    Microsoft Today has accidently or pourposly posted a pic never realeased to there Facebook Fan page. I managed to take a screen shot of it before they removed it. The pic might be from January since thats the almbum they put it on before removing. Anyways cheak out my video Microsoft FLIGHT LEAKED pic.

  • @FsimulatorX oh wow r u captain_J or what ever on FSX Multiplayer...either way it was probabaly released 5 months ago so just relax

  • @uar99 YOU ARE AN ANTI FLIGHT!!!! Also THE PICTURE NEVER CAME OUT TO TGE PUBLIC BEFORE DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE HELL NEVER REALISED TO PUBLIC MEANS???

  • @FsimulatorX dude they had a convention with gameplay, missions, HUNDREDS of screenshots, AND EVEN A CHANCE TO PLAY THE (unfinished) FUCKING GAME, its not that big of a deal, everyone's gonna be let down when it comes out its gonna be fsx with different planes and some more scenery and ur probably gonna need an even BETTER computer to run it, but im not "anti-flight" but i actually went out and got my private pilots license...and lay off the caps would ya

  • @uar99 WTF is wrong with you? DO YOU KNOW THE MEANING BETWEEN A PRIVATE RELEASE AND A PUBLIC REALISE.? ALSO YOU PLAYED THE UNFINISHED VERSION SO DONT EVEN SAY EVERY ONE WILL BE LET DOWN

  • @FsimulatorX dude, caps, rly. and i know it was the unfinished version, but even still u will pay $100 for it when it first comes out and ull stick to it cuz ud might as well if u have it, but rly i played fs98 until fsx came out and it was fine its like buying a new cell phone every time a new one comes out, ur just stuck buying one every year. its just not worth paying between $80-100 for a bit of a bug fix. seriously i was flying the bi-plane in it and it was like flying the j3 cub

  • @uar99

    dude jst forget it.The guy got some serious issues....

  • @FsimulatorX also theres 3 things that happened then with that photo (1 and 2 are similar)

    1) theres a little thing i like to call "photoshop"

    2) they downloaded that plane into FSX and made it look like its in flight max settings and said it was flight

    3) it was a public release and the person who posted made it LOOK like it wasnt or it was just released yesterday...and did a good job

    either way, it wasnt a leaked photo, its microsoft for fuck sake. they dont "accidentally" release a photo

  • @uar99 stupid loser type google they realy are making it stupid guy i pr ordered from microsoft for 59.99 euro

    and yes its posible cus my frends father works for microsoft games

  • @uar99 YOU DONT HAVE THE RIGHT INFO BEHIND THIS LEAKED PHOTO SO SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH AND PLAY WITH YOUR DUM X-PLANE 9

  • @FsimulatorX i dont play x-plane 9 it sucks and i have all the right info my uncle works for microsoft in their office hes high lvl manager

  • @uar99 AND WHAT IS HE SAYING about FLIGHT heh?

  • GUYS SOMEONE FROM THE FLIGHT TEAM TODAY LEAKED A PIC NEVER SEEN EFORE ON THERE OFICAL FACEBOOK FANPAGE I TOOK A SCREEN SHOT OF TYE PIC BEFORE THY REMOVED IT. CHEAK OUT NY NEW VIDEO TO SEE IT

  • I'm interested to see what happens with this since this isn't an upgrade to FSX, it's a whole new game built from the ground up. The Microsoft Flight Site has the newest vid up now for June. I'm with holding full judgement until more info comes out though.

  • can somebody tell me what's the FUCKING music...it sound like U2.

  • when is it gona come out!!!

  • Guys the FLIGHT team have said your current rig can run this at max settings since day 1

  • @FsimulatorX Ok so if I use my 6 years old HP it can run this max settings? Nice

  • @Pvjinflight no not even close

  • What's. The. Music.

  • Just sold my house, to buy a NASA computer to run this sim. DAMN!

  • i actually love the trailer

  • Does anyone know if the multiplayer on this has been improved?

  • for thos asking about release date it will come in Fall 2011

  • @FsimulatorX Oh thats awesome, what is your source for this info?

  • @SainterX playseat and its obviouse since announced date is put on TBA 2011

  • unbelievable when i see the first ever flight simulator, i think 1980, for Apple II and this...

  • @Chrisy299 im pretty sure this is just a CG sequence not actual ingame footage.

  • @Chrisy299 to sum it up, FSX is no longer needed when they team up :)

  • Estoy ansioso porque salga el juego, ya llevo tiempo esperandolo.

  • Ive not heard anything about this for a LONG TIME,,, is there no new developments

  • @SainterX what?????????? WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU DO YOU EVEN CHEAK THE OFFICAL WEBSITE??????

  • @FsimulatorX ok, first of all calm the shit down, secondly on the microsoft flight there has been no news since may

  • When i was child.......i dreamed my step daddy would put the beer down and stop whooping me with the belt.

  • yea its all good making an amzing game with super high visuals but only rich people with high end computers will atually be able to play it. :L

  • @tictac9490 no. the team said your current rig should do it with the help of a dx11 GPU. and DX11 GPUs cost only $150

  • @FsimulatorX ONLY £150 LOL

  • @tictac9490 yea but they came out almost a year ago. Cheak out the GTX 460 its a good dx11 card

  • @FsimulatorX soz i was being sarcastic i really would not spend $150 just to play a flight sim

  • Anybody who thinks flight simulator is a video game has obvisouly never played any of them

  • real flighing is nothing like these simulators. period end of story.

  • @skipsassy1 yeah, but not everybody has a budget that large, so to them that story has no end, you know?

    it's flying btw

  • This game will be legendary

  • That's great! I can't wait for this!!

  • Does anyone know if you can fly commercial jets in this game? 

  • @780VolvoVn I agree, I will buy the game when it comes out when commercial jets are playable.

  • @780VolvoVn Well.....commercial jets has been the pinacle of all MS flight simulators. They would be foolish not to include commercial jets in this release. I would call for the termination of the project manager and sack the development team all over again. Also, I hope this series (MS Flight) is being developed with Eyefinity and crossfire in mind.

  • @diver3024 Big words for such a small mind

  • @silent6655 Run along little girl. Scat!! Scoot!! Shoo!! Go away!

  • Yeah I can’t wait for it but what a cheesy advert. I feel sick. There not going to do well if that’s how there marketing it.

  • Does anyone know when it is coming out? It's been too long since i've been hearing this but no release yet.

  • Does anyone know the release date? i can't wait it looks amazing
