  • aaaaaand, moving onto xplane :D

  • wtf is this shit?? thanks for the slap in the face microsoft.

  • it may suck but atleast its better then x-plane.

  • WTF wheres the FUCKING SIMUIATOR!!!!!!!

    ILS etc!!!!!

  • The real new FSX is there guys. Aerofly FS. Look on youtube for this new game!! Awesome.

  • Comment removed

  • Piece of sh*t! Microsoft should return to the platform they've left behind, betraying hundreds of thousands of customers! We want a simulation, not a crap like this!

  • This game is absolute shit. And I am even being polite about it...

  • x-plane is veta tham this crack

  • fucking chack!!

  • Goodbye MS - uninstalled - Hello X-Plane 10 - bought and installed!

  • This is just a game , not a simulator. I already got ACE COMBAT to do all this shit !!!  WTF is wrong with you Microsoft????

  • Stupid idea, stupid game. This is not a simlulator, is a joke and a insult for all the people that have waiting for years a better game. Fuck you Microsoft. At least we still have FSX and FS9.

  • And.... This is the point that X-Plane will overcome Microsoft Flight 20-30 times.

    Couldn't they just improve the performance of FSX and added new Aircraft and possibly different missions??.

    Absolutely Disappointed.

  • This is not a game, this is a joke.I wonder who is the genius behind this stupid idea?

  • @35indepth35 Console and general greed

  • Why is everyone hating on MS Flight? It's the best FS so far with its Graphics, Performance, Gameplay, and Interface. I know the downer is buying planes but you can use Windows Live Points to get them, and still on lower graphics cards, it runs very good with good graphics. I have somewhat of a good average gaming computer, ram, processers etc. pretty good. I have everything but sharpness on high, sharpness on medium. It runs about 35-40 FPS in daytime and about 30 in night. Stop hating guys -_-

  • @GOM3RPLY3R Stop hating? WHY??? Is anyone asking you to stop brown-nosing Microsoft?

    For anyone who is truly interested in aviation, this is a piece of crap!

    Does Microsoft really think they'll score big on this one when they piss off everyone who loves simulation and try to sell this garbage to people who have absolutely no interest in airplanes?

  • @airste172 For someone truly interested in aviation, this is the best. The Physics, Graphics and overall quality of this game is amazing. You got to look at it in that perspective and not so much the money side. Yeah it only comes with two planes and like 20 airports on the main island of Hawaii, but the gameplay is all that counts. You never know, this may just be a test for a real FSXI or something, they just want to see the feedback on the gameplay.

  • @GOM3RPLY3R A test it may be (of what they can get away with), but as far as serious simulation, I think it's over for Microsoft. They sold their SIMULATION program to Lockheed Martin and if you think that Microsoft is about to develop a new sim program from the ground up, I suspect you've been flying around that Hawaiian la-la land for a little too long. ;)

  • @airste172 Also, since it wouldn't fit below along with the testing, they could take those amazing Graphics and Physics and Import it into a new real Flight Simulator, possibly called FSXI that has somewhat of the same interface as FSX, because that is the main interface for a good Simulator.

  • @GOM3RPLY3R I am interested in navigation, IFR, flight planning, making simulated flights before doing the real thing, etc., etc. I have no need or desire to play some stupid fantasy over a rock in the Pacific Ocean that I've never seen and have ZERO interest in.

  • @GOM3RPLY3R Have you noticed that on Microsoft Flight videos that are posted on YouTube by Microsoft, all comments must be approved by them before they can be seen by anyone? I kinda think that says a lot about happy everyone is about Flight!

  • @airste172 Have you noticed that so many people like yourself are complain about it just because it has like no airplanes, requires real money for new planes, focuses around Hawaii? They want to prevent those comments from showing up so they can get a good record of positive feedback about the game so they can improve things for the future. Also keep in mind many people don't have their Cyber-manners and curse all day.

  • @GOM3RPLY3R Ya know, allowing all comments doesn't prevent Microsoft from getting a good record of positive feedback for themselves. Blocking posts however, is for the purpose of trying to hide the true concensus of poinion from suckers who might want to try this travesty called Flight.

  • Is this out for Xbox yet

  • Dont worry guys, why do you think the developers couldn't use "Flight Simulator"?

  • And developers won't be allowed to make addons unless they bend over and give microsoft all the royalties. Looks like FSX was the last of the goodies. Time to pack up and move to Xplane with all the devs

  • wow theyve got so far behind now. Btw i didnt know that when you fly a plane, you sit in the air watching it from behind.. Why couldnt they continue the MSFS series? With these graphics. Anyway im still enjoying fsx with 100+ addons..

  • Oh no not microsoft points!!!! Why? Microsoft. Just mkae the whole world and put it on a disk for about £39.99. Not sell each seperately i used to love microsoft now i have learnt they are nothing but a bunch of robbers. Money money money for f""k all.

  • Geez wtf did they do?????? And I thought it would be a professional flight simmulator like FSX. And i was afraid about buying add ons for fsx... Gezz they really fucked it up now...

  • que lixo.... é uma pena que minha placa de vídeo hd 3200 não roda o aerofly fs ou o outerra! Microsoft Flight bixou o Simulador...

  • shit!! aerofly fs forever!

  • Aff de simulador passou para um ARCADE tosco

  • It's ok everyone,microsoft is getting screwed too. We have to applaud Icon Aircraft at using them as a free ad for their plane. Bravo. It serves you right M$ as your Flight crashes and burns,Icon profits will soar,even if they just one plane. It will be worth it.

  • no airliners realy microsoft realy plus they made it free to play becuse they relised it was going to sell horibly

  • moneysoft have no respect for the comunity and 3rd party devs im going to stick with my cs767 in fsx and keep on playing that till they make up for it with a real sim

    there was so much hype for nothing

  • WTF thanx for crap microsoft i guess im still flying fsx for few more years lol

  • wut it take some skills ??? obviously the guys probably never played FSX or FS9 before

  • Looks like a glorified i-phone app.

  • One of the best promo vids for Xplane10 I have seen in a loooong time...

  • playing a flight simulator with keyboard and mouse is like driving a car with a tv-remote control...

  • pile of crap i was getting really excited for this and then it was crap just going to stick to fsx

  • i am so fucking let down............... crys

  • this not training  to pilots !! not simulator !!

  • X-plane 10, here i come...

  • XP? XP IN A FLIGHT SIMULATOR? FUCK YOU MICROSOFT

  • Flight Sim: Just Cause Edition

  • fuck sake looks like ill be moving onto x-plane 10 , this looks shit .

  • This is some dissapointing bullshit....

  • its free stop complaining.

  • @imabutcher ITS SHITTY,GAY AND A RIPOFF THATS WHY EVERYONE HATES THIS PIECE OF SHIT.MICROSOFT RUINED A PERFECTLY GOOD FLIGHT SIMULATION BRAND AND FUCKED IT UP SO BAD THEY CANT UNDO THE MISTAKES THEY DONE TO IT.

  • @varcolac5 If they released it with all the terrain regions and decent couple of default aircraft I would pay for it. But my limit would be $70-$80 USD

  • @MrTornadoman97 same for me but my limit would be $150 AUD[AUSTRALIAN DOLLARS ] and if it had proper missons with it too not this kiddie bullshit and proper controls like fsx not this fly with xbox controller or mouse crap.i bet microsoft blew their budget for developing this and spent all their money on designing the two aircraft you get with it and messed up the rest of the sim.

    PS is the release date today or tomorrow for microsoft flight i just want to see how much it fails for myself.

  • @varcolac5 Its today its realeased. Im in Denmark GMT+1 and downloaded and installed it 8 hours ago. However I have trouble with the game crashing on stratup - But havent taken the time to fix it - tell me if it would be worth it

  • @flemmong no its a piece of crap i tried it and it sucks stick with fsx its more realistic and isnt gay like microsoft flight and in fsx you can put addons which you cant do in microsoft flight.

    uninstall microsoft flight its so shit that its not even worth being on your computer.

  • @varcolac5 Thanks for the info - I didnt expect to miss out on a good sim in this case game either. It looks something like Hawx without the weapons - and that is a poor game to start with. Think I will stick to FSX with the addons - its still great

  • @varcolac5 probably we all should have known this as it was clear that it gets a free to play game... I mean you expect the best simulator ever with extraterrestrial graphics free to download ? thats quite unrealistic

    it's just an edited FSX I think...

  • @chromekumpel microsoft didnt even try to make a proper sim all that microsoft did was make a cheap piece of shit, ripoff ,gay game with shit controls and shitty aircraft that no one will play

  • @varcolac5 yeah... maybe there will be some noobs who have no experience in flight simulation and no skills and pay for the add-on aircrafts

  • @chromekumpel noobs wont play this game either when people think about aircraft they always think of a boeing 747 or airbus a320

    and what did microsoft give us two of the most unknown aircraft a boeing stearman and icon a5 .

  • @varcolac5 and this, everyone, is why brothers and sisters shouldn't breed.

  • @varcolac5 what are you talking about?

  • @PattoMinecraft ALL IM SAYING IS THAT MICROSOFT FLIGHT IS SHITTY,GAY AND A RIPOFF.

    1.ITS SHITTY BECAUSE YOU ONLY GET 2 PLANES AND HAWAII WHEN YOU START THE GAME.

    2.ITS A RIPOFF BECAUSE YOU NEED TO PAY FOR MORE PLANES AND OTHER LOCATIONS TO FLY IN AND THERE IS NO FREEWARE AVALIABLE FOR MICROSOFT FLIGHT.

    3.ITS GAY BECAUSE THERE ISNT ANY JET AIRCRAFT ,HELICOPTERS AND HARD MISSIONS AND FROM THE RECENT VIDEOS FROM MICROSOFT THEY MADE IT EVEN MORE GAY.

  • @imabutcher You get one island and about three planes for free, essentially like the free FSX Demo, which is better than this. You have to pay for everything else.

  • I have been a fan of ms flight for a while now, standing by it till the end. But this is too much of an arcade game for me. I am disappointed, I do really still believe that microsoft could've pulled off an epic simulator... If they made a simulator. :P

  • Who really ever played the missions?

  • @Turkeysitar retards that cant fly for shit and can only fly with a mouse and dont know what ILS is

  • ms flight wont sell without airliners, destined for fail, shame thousands of people have been waiting a long time for this, wont be buying it

  • i think im speaking for alot of people, alot of people are saying it looks more arcadey than simulation, ive only seen props on there, are there jets, airbus, boeing ????

  • @spencedanny1 Don't think so... I mean, what kind of missions would they do for 9 year olds that involved flying an airbus/boeing? Also there's no third party add ons...

  • @youdontknowxpand are there airbusses and boeing in this, ive only seen props so far

  • @spencedanny1 I said there wasn't any...

  • After seeing this I am leaning towards moving to X-Plane, I will have to try it first before i can decide anything, looks disappointing though

  • @ microsoft: IS THAT IT?

  • this looks like a silly game...I will stick with x-plane 10 real physics Simulator

  • why so much of dislikes?

  • @lopory because its an insult to all real fsx and fs9 simmers. its like hawx but without the shooting (for little kids, not for people, who want a realistic simulation).

  • @childofbodom244

    Did it delete FSX or any other edition of Microsoft Flight Simulator from your computer?

    No?

    Then you have nothing to complain about.

    Why not just accept this for what it is? A quick, easy to fly, game that lets you buzz about when you want to unwind.

  • @childofbodom244 i agree but still think of it tis way if you were a kid you probably would want a game like this but i still totally agree

  • @childofbodom244 I thought it had different difficulty modes?

    Like Simulator and Arcade.

  • WHO THE FUCK WOULD WANT TO FLY BY JUST USING A MOUSE ???

  • It looks good actually ...controls feel better ....does the game have sids and stars and waypoints ? I think this game will be great once u install PMDG's and REX...but then again I heard u cant install addons in this game...FAILLL!!!!!!!!

  • @zeesh181 It looks good, but in the big preview trailer its just like an arcade game and not a serious simulation like FSX or FS9.

  • @OCflightsimmer to me it looks like all the planes are props, dont look any different to fsx

  • Comment removed

  • @spencedanny1 If you want to see the difference, run FSX with all your add-ons disabled (REX, ENB, GEX, etc.) and go to a place where there's only default scenery.

  • Can you fly an airliner? the only reason I use FSX is to fly jumbo jets

  • looks like gta

  • @BlackWidowZ93 And plus if i keep buying other sceneries i would be in debt think the world is a big place. So just make it simple and add the whole world withthese graphics on 1 disk. Very upset about this new flight sim sorry game "Cough cough"

  • I think the guy flying with an Xbox controller sums it all up really.

  • Soo many dislikes !! Cause this game sucks !!!

  • the graphics look awesome. the game just seems a bit too limitted considering what has been done in past games...

  • And for full settings you need at least an overclocked HD 6990 to run this at about 30-40 fps (Crossfire enabled)

  • Believe me, this is a very realistic flight sim, i've got the beta version on my pc. Incredible details. There is only one thing that sucks... The only 2 free planes are a Boeing Stearman and a Icon A5. and the only free scenery is Hawai. (Btw: its PC, not Xbox)

  • Fuck Man!!! Fucking Microsoft Flight, Why A Fucking X-Box!

  • OH NOOOOOOOO! its a game now. I'll stick with FS2004 or FSX. It's more of a simulator than a game if all the slider are set to realistic or realism flighting. Not Xbox controller gaming. BOO Microsoft. BOOOOOOO!!!1!

  • Biggest pile of shit I have ever seen

  • I would rather play FS98 than this.

  • looks sooo unprofessional then the older version!!!!! FS2004 best!

  • why are they flying in third shit mode???

  • this is CRAP pure microsoft crap AGAIN! fsx is great ms flight is a complete fail

  • Comment removed

  • Don Quichotte is chasin windmills, BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA

  • seriously!, wtf is Microsoft smoking. This is a complete failure. A true kick in the face to the flight sim fans.

  • its free, ill try it.

    if its bad i delete it.

    not gonna cry about a F2P game.

  • That's Microsoft Flight.. fuck off that's crap

  • Pilots probably complain about the "Flight Sim" generation who think they know how to fly a plane. Now they'll leave us alone and bash the "Flight" generation. Who flies with a mouse.. flying into things.

  • Pilotwings

  • What a crap!!!

  • I've been searching for a flight simulator for the past 2 months. No way I'm playing this shit.

  • Come on ! This has nothing to do with a Flight simulator !!!

  • You can't judge the game if you haven't played it!!!!!

    I think the graphic is way better than in FSX and more FPS friendly.

  • @alienw99 Yes you can judge it. Of course graphics is better as FSX is fucking 6 years old already, but still they look like shit when compared to FSX with proper addons. FSX would have been just as FPS friendly if people in MS bothered to fix few massive bugs in FSX.

    Also remember that you can get only Hawaii for free, then you will have to pay for rest of the few places that will be modeled. Flight will never have whole world modeled, not even near.

  • @Pvjinflight

    1. NEW is not ALWAYS better!

    2. Don't play the FLIGHT!

    3. Live the rest of your life!

  • @alienw99 1. True 2. I wont 3. Yes.

  • This just looks like some shit arcade flight sim.

    I think I'll stick with FSX.

  • @CobaIt60 If you want sth new try Aerofly FS

  • @CobaIt60 I agree with you...moreover it is designed to run even in the X-box 360 which has an outdated hardware...

  • @CobaIt60 or FS2004? =)

  • @CobaIt60

    Instead of sticking with FSX, which is bugged, flawed and not as realistic as it could be, go for Xplane 10. Its basically Microsoft Flight Sim 2012.

  • I'm uspeakably angry that i can't find FSX acceleration in the stores anymore... How really cares about the new "simulator"?

  • What a big shit i'm so sad, they don't know what have done, they are going to lose all the fans othey had before with versions like fsx. Now has been released a new simulator that looks very good and i recomend to take a look on it, it's name is aerofly fs.

  • HELP ! ^^

  • WTF is this? Why can't they just make a simulator like they did since 98

  • Wow...what's next for the Flight 'Simulator' series, Microsoft? Talking animals? Will Smith as your co-pilot? A "Jersey Shore" expansion pack? :-(

  • @richard20bris in other words your saying microsoft only made microsoft flight for the paychecks not for the fans

  • wow the game designers don't even know how to play the game

  • if they are not going to upgrade the graphics from FSX to this. Then the physics sould be, I want burning airplanes on crash.

  • Yay more flat runways

  • I realy hate comments from FPS shooter players !!! You don't like ? All righ !! Shut up ! You don't know what you are talking about !

  • It's only a game and not a simulator.

  • Im gonna stick with FSX. 

  • I tried the beta, and it's still a simulator. Microsoft knows that even if you're hating on this game right now, you'll still get it. It's free anyway so why not? Then you'll see how much of a simulator it is. They're just showing the casual side of the game right now to attract a broader, more casual audience.

    Right now I'm playing the beta and it is superb. Physics. Graphics. It's there. For now, you're mostly just flying single engine planes. But the potential is there for commercial jets.

  • Wow... we have been waiting since years for a revolution in flight simulators, and this the result? well, let's switch to xplane or the new Aerofly FS...

  • It takes no skill because its an arcade game and a free to play game.

  • Discusted, more like an arcade game not a flight simulator, what can u learn from this? nothing.

  • Should have left it like FSX, better graphics, new planes, and run smooth like this one.

  • That SUCKED, the runway was just 4 while it should´ve been 04.

  • Dafuq is that ?? epic fail imo !

  • check my video too

  • After just trying the beta I can say it is a ...... FUCKING GAME! There is not one once of realism left, not even flight plans. They made no effort on the animations, the scenery isn't that much better, except for the trees. The clouds look fake, REX HD is still the best right now! The plane itself is a toy and doesn't feel real. The autogen system looks exactly the same as before, basically it's a MAJOR FAIL!

    There is one huge improvement however it runs much smoother and faster.

  • fuck this micro parasit flight and fuck geekwire for posting this fucking video,

  • download the beta, no invite needed: watch?v=mf4NPBSFKrY

  • LOL. fail. *Goes to play FSX*

  • Dont forget guys they said there was going to a free flight mode to the game ass like the original.

    This video shows the mission and arcade mode of the game.

  • Comment removed

  • Shame on MS, they brought this amazing franchise down to a piece of crap!

    ARCADE.........The reason I think it's free is because no one would give a penny for this.

  • А чё самолётик не стреляет? Или бомбы не сбрасывает?

    Это не тот симулятор которого мы ждали.

    Бил Г. ты нас разочаровал.

  • Wow, what a disappointing choice on the part of MS.

  • Using a mouse to fly!!!

  • This game suck..

  • Microsoft can GO FUCK...Im not even going to waste my team downloading this shit...Stick to FSX

  • Microsoft can come SUCK MY DICK!

  • You guys, this is easy flight mode, they do have a simulator setting. Read about flight! God damn, I think it's a smart move. Have both types of games in one

  • Chase camera flight & landing? WTF is this, NFS?

  • This is pure rubbish! FSX is a simulator, this is a fucking arcade flying game. Microsoft fucked up badly for us hardcore simmers.
