So Microsoft finally released Flight and I've been playing it a couple days now and am pretty thoroughly impressed especially for a free game.
Its pretty bare right now as it was just released with 2 free planes and 2 that cost microsoft points. You only get to fly around hawaii but the graphics are good and it is fun to play.
Its definatly not a simulation at all and focuses pretty much on flying and landing. Feels like pilotwings in a way.
But thought I would throw this out there figured someone would enjoy it.
