Introducing “Microsoft Flight”
Twenty-eight years after the debut of “Microsoft Flight Simulator 1.0,” Microsoft Game Studios also announced the internal development of “Microsoft Flight,” a new Windows exclusive. “Microsoft Flight” will bring a new perspective to the long-standing genre, welcoming everyone, including long-time fans, to experience the magic of flight.
A teaser of the future of Flight on the Windows-based PC is available at http://www.microsoft.com/games/flight.
. Im even planning to build my own desktop with the Ati Radeon 4770 HD. It is a very good graphics card under $150, and by very good I mean VERY (FSX on high settings most likely without lag) good. However it must be accompanied by a good processor and RAM. As I said, hoping Microsoft Flight is designed for those of slower computer but can still look nice.We, nobody, knows this yet.Mike74722 wrote:the problem with this game is that it may be of a more mission-based game, rather than just a fly around simulator.
No, it is only a very great desire to have the only purebred, the familiar and best Flightsim on us tray.GaryG wrote:Is it a virus? Everybody is saying the same thing.
In Railworks, there is very little to no freeware around as they intended to have it as a payware "only" kind of deal.
I don't know where you are getting your information from about FSX, but before you complain about FSX, please view some data first (See link below). FSX was very successful and its sales well exceeded FS2004's. FSX was also in the Top 10 Sold for two years straight. FS2004 never came close. If you want to read that article, alot of good info is on the bottom of that page too. The whole thing is not comprised of numbers!sknepper wrote:I have a feeling that Microsoft is just feeling if there is interest out there for a new flightsim as I heard they were not happy with the amount of sales of FSX, and the expectations were never met. Maybe a hype for a new version will help the sales of a new edition ?
If you wrote only that, it would have been more than sufficient to express your idea....better than all that you've wrote.jostytosty wrote: This time I will wait a couple of months to hear and read about FLIGHT before I'll buy. :?
[=you are urgently requested to "play"Flight on the X-box + buy landscapes, buy planes, buy whatever]The in-game marketplace allows users to purchase items for a game from within game, which wasn't possible before. It's part of Microsoft's effort to streamline digital distribution on gaming PCs, which could potentially attract more sales-generating clicks.
[This means a company has created a way out of the G4WL situation, why?]* Stop Games for Windows LIVE from running in Fallout 3 and prevent its dll files from loading which reduces the time it takes for Fallout 3 to startup.
* Remove the "LIVE" button at the main menu.
* Allow you to bind the "Home" key to whatever action you want.
* Allow you to move all of your DLC's out of their "hidden" G4WL folder and into your Fallout 3 folder.
Important Notes\Issues
* This will work with Fallout 3 v1.1 or higher.
* If you disable Games for Windows LIVE and actually use it then all your saves will disappear, you can find them in your <b>\My Documents\My Games\Fallout3\Saves\[name]</b> simply move them to the Saves folder.
* When G4WL is disabled any DLC's you have will cease to function so use the "Move DLC's" button to get your DLC's working again.
So what do I need to say more to express my serious doubt about FLIGHT? yes it MIGHT but still -I don't think so....Games for Windows - Live is an important piece to the puzzle in Microsoft's effort to keep up with the evolving digital distribution landscape. The system, which also has community features, is up against other platforms such as Steam, Direct2Drive, and Impulse. But Microsoft hopes to leverage its position as the owner of Windows and its ability to tap into the Xbox Live community to separate itself from competitors.
) rather than to the new Microsoft simulator, Flight! Microsoft really screwed this up!Haha ! Yeah sure, that's why there are still people here and on POSKY forums waiting for models to get out, because this was already assumed when last year MS closed the studios. Moreover, you're basically implying that MS really cannot get a new product out because there's always this problem. Also, polls showed a different answer to that "problem" and it's nonsense.Now we are going to get die hard FSX fans that would rather go to X-plane (scumbags) rather than to the new Microsoft simulator, Flight! Microsoft really screwed this up!
Neither am I. But this shows that you lack experience on forums. Take it as you want. It's not an insult, I'm not american.I'm not an American so I don't know the meaning of "Thanks for your 2 cents" but but i'll take it as an insult okay?
No comment on the title at this time...Q: What is "Microsoft Flight?"
A: "Microsoft Flight" is a new PC game from Microsoft Game Studios. The new title will be available on the Games for Windows – LIVE service and will bring a new perspective to the long-standing "Flight Simulator" franchise. From new game play elements and enhanced scenery and terrain to new aircraft and integrated content marketplace, it is an entirely new breed of virtual flight. The Games for Windows - LIVE platform sets the stage for all your virtual flight needs while connecting you to a global base of users, content and endless exploration. Microsoft Flight builds off its heritage of deep, immersive simulation and is redesigned to make the experience easier for virtual fliers of all interests and skills.
From the ground up? Does this mean that people have to rebuild (once again like FS2004 to FSX) all the airplanes in the world to fly them in the new program?Q: How does “Microsoft Flight” differ from “Flight Simulator?” Why the new name? What’s changed?
A: With “Microsoft Flight” we’re approaching the virtual flight genre from the ground up, with the focus on the universal appeal of the experience of Flight. We believe the simplicity of “Microsoft Flight” perfectly captures that vision while welcoming the millions of existing Flight Simulator fans. The new “Microsoft Flight” retains the full fidelity simulation longtime fans have come to expect while offering all players a whole new look and feel, a wide range of new game play and challenges, persistent experiences and social connectivity.
A global server?!Q: How does Games for Windows – LIVE factor in?
A: Games for Windows – LIVE introduces a new level of connectivity to virtual flight, enhancing both the social and game play experiences of the title. Content is updated virtually. You can fly solo or join an entire global flight community online. You can easily connect with and facilitate flight experiences with your friends. The addition of Games for Windows - LIVE creates an ubiquitous virtual world of flight that offers easy and engaging access to the magic of flight for all.
I already HATE the 12 year old kids that YELL "MAYDAY", WHY would ANYONE want to have them all in one place at one time?! :shock: How about your own dedicated servers? Will that option disappear? I like having the ability to kick the morons out of our sever that do scream in the mic. Banning them is even better!!! LOL!!! :lol: They can say this because they did not fire everyone. As long as there is one person remaining on the team, what they said is fair game, but a huge joke to believe that the same strong "team" still exists.Q: Who is developing “Microsoft Flight” now that ACES is gone?
A: “Microsoft Flight” is being developed internally at Microsoft by a team that includes many of the same creative minds that helped deliver countless entries in the “Flight Simulator” franchise.
Too much gray here, cannot really make a reply to this until they expand a bit.Q: Why did Microsoft shut down ACES Studio last January?
A: Microsoft Game Studios is always evaluating its business model to determine what is best for both gamers and the company. Many factors were considered in the difficult decision to close ACES Studio, but we feel the 2009 closure helped us better align with our goals and long-term development plans. "Microsoft Flight" is being developed by many of the same creative minds that shaped "Microsoft Flight Simulator," and we're excited about delivering a new take on this classic franchise.
