Do I get an achievement for buying the plane?

another turd gets released ...

by the way, the model has no guns, so as not to offend any sensibilities ...

I feel a little ill, to think I put off purchasing FSX to see what Flight had to offer.

Wankers

Not only are they cornering the addon market, they then release half baked crap.

I really gotta buy FSX one of these days. Now that it's destined to become the ultimate collection of addons...

Or maybe X-Plane?

You know, when at first I heard that the Mustang DLC was to be released without cockpit I thought that it was probably a time/resources issue and that the cockpit would surely be offered later for free. I mean, a payware aircraft for a flighstim without cockpit? Nobody could possibly be THAT brazen. Right? Then came the Zero. And now the P-40. I still think it must be some kind of joke I just fail to comprehend.

I'm just waiting for some MS corporate monkey representative to tell us that the failure of Flight clearly shows that serious flight simulations don't have an audience anymore and that the team will now work on an Angry Birds F2P online game.

there was a interview that said MS was not allowed to build cockpits for any military aircraft included in flight.

until they get trackIR support working, AI traffic of some sort, and some other stuff, i wont be booting it up anymore.


also notice all the aircraft have been single prop powered.

That's because the No dual-prop/dual-engine aircraft feature is also included.

Skate, where did you read that interview? And that seems really strange to me, considering that the P-51 Mustang was included in CFS1 and 3, and A2A has wonderful P-51's and P-40's cockpits. Copyright infringement, or budget restrictions?

CFS was ages ago, there aren't any more "restrictions" from the manufacturers for Military Vehicles. they didnt say why...

I think the real question is what get's release in months 6 - 18 (or maybe 6-12). These cockpitless warbirds were locked in as the post launch releases before beta testing even started.

It will be interesting to see what direction they go once they've had months of user/market feedback and have had a chance to alter (or not alter) the longer term plan. And of course seeing what/if deluxe aircraft the Alaska DLC brings with it will be interesting as well.
