This looks like it was built for the console and console players. As a flight simmer I almost feel left out after watching that. _________________________ "Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward.

tagTaken2 Member Registered: 05/06/06 Posts: 1000 Loc: Gone.	It triggered a couple of gag reflexes with 'achievement' and 'unlock', but maybe this is just the trailer for the console crowd. FSX currently has addons like Accusim, where the sim is just the base, maybe this Flight will only be an interface for more sophisticated paid content - which MS will now sell through their version of iStore. Wonder what will happen to the publishers?

Brennus Urban Legend Hotshot Registered: 01/13/05 Posts: 5066 Loc: Detroit, Mich.	I'm not sure I see what the problem is. It's clearly marketed for the console generation, but it still looks like a Microsoft Flight Sim to me. Was FSX any different out of the box? I'm sure that the quality of the experience will improve over time as (if) more 3rd party addons are converted to the new software... _________________________ "You know what the chain of command is?

tomcat Member Registered: 10/27/99 Posts: 2304 Loc: Halifax, NS, Canada	I don't get it - I play FSX and FS9 because I like to fly around where I live and I enjoy the visuals of each new title in the series. Why would this be any different? I'll certainly try it for free and check out how NS looks. Is it the departure from simulation that's ruining it for you guys?
