Or maybe that's just because BeachAV8R is saying what I am thinking Good job. Let's hope MS will get their act together and make Flight into something with a lasting appeal to either simmers or non-simmers, or ideally both. _________________________ Undercarriage lever a bit sticky was it, Sir?

Quote: That is troubling because you can market mediocrity when you don't have to reach the standards of your competitors. Is the best sentence in the whole review.

FlyingToaster Member Registered: 12/28/07 Posts: 484 Loc: Scotland	I wonder if they are planning to release a lot of the missing things, such as boats, cars, other aircraft, radio communications, and so on, as more DLC. It seems like quite a logical move. Something like 'Looking for some company in the sky? Don't want to deal with Noobs? Lucky for you, we present the 'Crowded Skies' DLC! Now you will see AI versions of every aircraft you currently own as DLC flying around, completely independent of you!'
