Title: Proof that Flight will not only have jets, but SUPERPLANES

All awards have to be achievable and all aerocaches have to be reachable, right?

Well, there's an award for flying faster than Mach 3 and an aerocache at 85,000 feet.

This means that we will be able to purchase either an SR-71, Mig-25, X-15, X-43 or X-52.

Can't wait  :D

" I'm a freak for freedom and control - ME controlling what I do. How can I enthuse about a game telling me what to do  .... on any level?


I have to say I started a mission just to see what it was like ..... seemed to get locked into that mission --- then found I could not slew ... I have NO interest in flying along a digital coastline - I got bored enough with that back in about 1986 when I 1st started to use FS and decided time to see how to make an aircraft and explore the world (which mostly didn't exist)


I'm about as seasoned a FS user as you will find on this planet. I had BAO Flightshop before MS bought it. I used to make airports that didn't exist. I started a FS website called Simviation. I have even designed a few aircraft.

& now we have Flight -- which is purely built as a GAME. There will be no world. There will be no user input. There will be no jets. (& PLEASE - speculators -- realise this. I have heard it from the team. Clearly stated: NO WORLD. NO OPEN INPUT. NO JETS. ) This is not a game I will be using. That's about it.

For me the big - BIG downer is closed structure - meaning the only input comes from a tiny few employed people who will throw out a Carenado payware prop once every month or 2 for users to buy if they want & again play around Hawaii. & that's it ..... It's no surprise that MS went this way but it IS  a great shame. Very few companies like open input from users -- but I really believe it's the best way forward. Look at Android. I believe that will win over Apple in the long term.


I've read the menu at the Flight restaurant. I'm walking on to find somewhere else to eat ...... FSX will do fine again.  They have a BIG menu, lots of potential .. and I like it there ....

Just because Microsoft did not bother to REMOVE stuff from some of the menus type areas as they revised the scope of the product downward does not mean that they will be releasing stuff.

Read Pete's comments.  He has been told FLAT OUT what is intended to be and is not intended to be.

In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if MS releases one of their famous service packs for Flight at some point, after which, the availability of those items or menu options will just sorta disappear.
