I don't get it though...they're not going to charge money for it??? Or is this the "Freedom" of flight abstract concept??? No offense, this is pretty vague.

Birds do it. Bees do it. Now can do it, too. Microsoft F**K.

There are plenty of play for free games comming out, and while some of them look interesting, I'm honestly turned off by the free prospect. I know that sounds silly.

'Fly free as a bird' freedom to roam about the sky!..Imho, I can't see the actual game being free, Microsoft don't do anything without a profit margin, and you don't get much profit from a free product.

You do if it's played on "the cloud" and you have all kinds of advertising.....anyhow...I can't imagine that it will be free...I'm puzzled by this rather stupid video...honestly, all this time since an update, and this is all they have to show? Whoever is in charge of marketing, shouldn't be.

Marketing was outsourced to China. True meaning of the video was lost in translation.

My take: "Free" = limited area, one aircraft, one mission.

How odd ! I assume they mean 'feel' like you are as free as a bird. I think there will some red faces over there if that's the case !

It's obviously Hawaii, and at least landscape wise it looks better than FSX but, I find FSX to be overbloated crapware when it comes to just flying it for the joy of flying. I'm sure it has it's uses for some but for me it just seems like once you get it you have to upgrade it just to make it look halfway decent.
