Looks like Microsoft flight will be available at the end of this month, as a Flight Sim geek I'm very excited to try it

Im looking forward to trying it but im not keen on the pay as you go scenery deal. I would much prefer pay for the initial game with all of the scenery, instead of the initial game being free and having to pay to fly somewhere in particular

All indications are the Flight will be a totally different beast to what FSX was, and it more focussed in pulling new/younger users into PC flight simulators, and make a lot of money from them via the downloadable content (DLC). The experience seems to be catering more towards the flying of the plane, instead of avionics/systems/real weather/atc etc. The good news of course is that the base product will be free, and for a few dollars more one can get the other Hawaiian islands and a RV-6. The bad news is that I don't see it being a real successor to FSX for the serious flight simulator enthusiast.

 

But don't take my word for it, give it a go at the end of the month.
