This is what happens when developers don't understand the enormous technology advancements and refuse to implement megatextures in their games!

F2P with microtransactions. Also apparently you can play with just a mouse (no keyboard).

More like mislabeled demo.
As long as they don't charge ridiculous sums for unlocking the entire globe and some more detailed planes, I'm not bothered. Well...assuming we can still fly from Uzbecky-becky-becky-becky-stan-stan to the US uninterrupted and seamlessly.

I expect the free package being composed by a Cessna and the complete Syberian tundra map

They don't seem to mention any commercial jets... I don't want to fly those shitty Cessna's and what not, give me a 777 or A320 Microsoft, damn it.

Jeez guys, at least read it. The demo will have one of the Hawaii islands and those who register on LIVE will get this plane. So I guess if that's their big promotion, we'll be lucky if we get an Ultralight as a starter plane. I won't hold my breath for even a Cesna for the demo.

fuck microsoft. Exactly how I feared it would be. Unless they have a non-free-to-play version that comes with the whole world, nav-aids, etc the same as FSX or prior versions, they can kiss my lilly white ass

Not sure why you guys are wasting your time with this. At least within the flying community X-Plane has been the standard for years now. MS just can't compete.

X-Plane 10 was a disappointment for me. Nice flight model but everything thing else is not for me, including performance. I know it's a beta but many people are going back to fsx after trying xp10.

I really enjoy FSX, but I also do hate a couple of things. Firstly, when you install an AI Traffic and some other mods, it can dip your performance in some intensive areas, though luckily, FSX looks smooth even at 30FPS, so I just cap the fps to 30 and it mostly stays 25-30. 2nd thing I hate is all the shit and tweaks that I need to do when I reinstall. It takes hours just to install all the addons and stuff I use and configure/tweak it all xD

Exactly
I'm a Flight Simulator fan, but I can't stand anything that isn't a jet.
I really don't understand the whole sight seeing aspect to flying a Cessna at low altitude. They have horrible ground imagery and trees/buildings that look out of place.
Perhaps they have an amazing multiplayer aspect to it that makes flying these things fun.
Hopefully I get an invite soon
