Microsoft Flight has launched: free-to-play flight sim

Microsoft’s free-to-play flight sim now available for download

It's a trap, an elaborate Trojan horse used by homeland security to monitor your actions.

Will test it over the weekend, but the truth is most people still cannot play FSX at optimal settings, never mind with the full detail level as desired.
In addition, I have spend a lot of money on FSX add-ons, additional aircraft and scenery that I probably won't be able to use with the new MS Flight.

I am an avid supporter for Free-to-Play games, but I doubt I will spent money on this at this time.

From what I've gathered this is NOT a flight-SIM at all. It's more like a "joyride" over the island of Hawai. Plus, I don't think that anything that has a hint of quality to it will ever be "free", especially not from M$. Most of the flight-sim community was pretty interested in this MS FLIGHT story when they first announced it more than a year ago. It's pretty sad to see that it was clearly given a backseat and it's now some "freebie" download. Everyone really expected a follow-up to FSX - so much for that.
