Happy Holidays from the Microsoft Flight development team!

We're pleased to announce that we will be showing off Microsoft Flight at the International Consumer Electronics Show from January 10th to 13th, 2012. If you're attending the show, make sure to swing by our CES booth.

We hope you all have a wonderful holiday season and we look forward to sharing more frequent updates about Microsoft Flight in early 2012.

CES attendance, beta, frequent updates, and the major flight sim websites giving out the info that they got at the event in Redmond recently. January is gonna be great!

Las Vegas is only worth visiting for NAB. I suppose knowing Microsoft, they'll have a video demo up and not an actual in game flight with a live feed to the big monitors. Has anyone been to a CES show?

I'm inclined to believe you're right. Live demos at shows like this are rare to say the least.

Wasn't FSX showcased at CES ? That had Bill flying with an Xbox controller didn't it?

If I was in the US right now I'll go to this event and take a group of skunks with me to the MS Flight booth.

How embarrassing.

Also I'd really like it if someone came on stage in a shirt/tie instead of some ridiculous jacket + hat combo like that guy. He looks like a douche.

I just hope someone who went there asked some questions and see what kind of answers they got in terms of people who want it for "Non-Arcade flying".

Another video from CES as well, shows nearly the same but this one includes free flight and also the guy a bit more:




Nothing new to what we know already but thought it was worth sharing with everyone.

He doesn't have to wear that silly hat.

Might as well be on stage flaunting a baguette.
