BeefJack: "Then there’s the actual flying, which isn’t difficult at any point: you set the throttle to full and then guide it through hoops. To land, turn off the engine while relatively close to the landing strip. You can definitely fly with more finesse than I did, but these tactics got me through any missions I played, and there’s precious little reason to come back and try again, let alone to drop money on premium content."
Duuro says: "Microsoft Flight: A perfect landing or a grounded take off?"
To understand exactly what went wrong with Flight, one needs to understand the series’ development history. Many aspects of the Flight Simulator engine were gradually improved, seeing advances with every release, being built upon the previous game little by little. Indeed, the last public release of the traditional Flight Simulator engine was a long descendant from the original Microsoft Flight Simulator release in 1982.
MS really screwed up with PC gaming in general. Its fortunate that we don't need them as the platform is open to all.
Microsoft Studios has released a new update for free-to-play simulator Microsoft Flight; game owners can download the update on Steam now. This update fixes a crash and addresses a Windows 8 compatibility issue.
