That has nothing to do with flight, but with the aircraft itself. In reality it`s the same.

In the first "flight lesson" in the beta, the "instructor" (a young female voiceactor) says something to the effect of "This cockpit is just like a car!"

Obviously trying to dumb the game down for less experienced players. But yes. :hrmm: Just like a car...

Has nothing to do with the game, it`s exactly like the real life original aircraft:

The Icon A5 is designed to look like a car.

OK, the Icon A5 looks pretty good, but is terrible as the Microsoft Flight flagship. What bothers me is that we haven't seen any familiar aircraft in Flight yet, like the C172, Baron 58, or even some jets.

Meaning that if there were some jets, a C172 etc, the game would be a whole lot better!
