Guys - can we please not discuss the forum/moderation policies of another site? It puts us in a difficult spot because they run their ship however they like. Thanks... -------- To the broader topic though - I think we can all usually tell someone with an agenda or a view that is so completely one-sided that it defies reality. I like to think my Flight review here at SimHQ showcased a lot of the positives of Flight (and there are a lot) but is also weighted appropriately (meaning the proportion of the review that is positive/negative) to reflect the totality of the product. It is very frustrating for me because I'm not an elitist simmer. I love playing game type sims too..(the aforementioned SAR series and the game-like content in FSX, etc..) I could sit down in an hour and have a half a dozen sketched out fun, diverse, and challenging scenarios for the Flight "game" that would make it more fun (as a game). Why they didn't have more entertaining content on Day 1 is really, really baffling to me. I'd post my ideas, but I'm waiting for the Flight Team to call me (call me!) to incorporate my ideas..

Chris,
Sorry for bringing up the "other" forum issue. I'll refrain from posting about it.
-Blake
P.S. Your review was very, very fair and one of the best I've seen of any game.

Agreed Beach, my apologies as well for not thinking about the difficult spot it makes by discussing the other site moderation here, I will stop.
I also thought your review was on the money and fair, and the ridiculous part of this whole Flight fiasco is that their flawed strategy and ambiguous marketing and interviews has split the Flightsim community and caused people to pick sides and assume everyone has an agenda, the ridiculous monthly release of these cockpitless airplanes just keep picking the scab and making it all fresh over and over.

Thanks guys.. I appreciate the self-moderation..  One thing I do hold out for..is that it really wouldn't take very much to get Flight back ON the right track. Now..Alaska..I don't know. I mean, I'm sure it will be pretty and rugged and all of that..but if the missions and aircraft don't amp up a bit it will be another fiasco. And the problem is, a lot of people have probably already tuned out and won't even drive by for another look. That is my biggest gripe - they had a chance to showcase sims as fun, challenging, and exciting and they missed (over, and over, and over again). If they could get some skis on the Maule, get the radios working, and put some challenging landing strip missions in there (glacier, gravel bar, tight mountain-top)..they could start going somewhere with the game side of the game. If I have to fly from Nome to Anchorage to deliver monkeys or pick up a $100 hamburger..I'd be pissed. I'm a simmer. I love sims..love flying..love games. Yet I'm going to wait for the reviews of Alaska to come in before I waste any additional money. That is pretty telling..when the customers that actually would normally WANT the content are sitting on the sidelines because of the track record..  BeachAV8R

BeachAV8R The biggest problem with the Alaska DLC is the same problem with Hawaii. You can't fly "there" from somewhere else. You're stuck in that one place. There is no world in-between or next door.

I don't care if a plane has a cockpit, or not, as long as I can shoot down my enemy with my rockets before my enemy shoots me down with his rockets!

If you would at least have something in the aircraft besides an empty seat..., the world in Flight is static, lifeless, a sandbox with no sand, but you can purchase the sand for a small fee (pail and shovel not included).
