Well that was sooner than I expected, I didn't even see a single screenshot yet that featured an airliner, will the full version even have them?

You have to buy aircraft and different parts of the world from Microsoft

I'm surprised Microsoft hasn't saturated Flight with a bunch of jets. It seems like the only things that kids want to fly these days - bigger the better - if you know what I mean.

While I have little interest in airliners and I prefer GA aircraft, I agree that the lack of airliners in Flight is stupid.

They might release some later as DLC though.

I just noticed something on YouTube. MSFlightOfficial obviously didn't like the overwhelming amount of red in the like/dislike bar, so they've now disabled the ratings.

They can bury their heads in the sand as much as they like.....but disabling ratings has only shown us that they know they :hrmm: up!!

It's a crying shame really. Even coding a crap game takes skill. The guys that made this were only doing what the suits told them to  :hrmm:

Possibly one to omit from their CVs I think!

According to add-on developers, Microsoft began making Flight as a replacement to FSX and they changed their mind later.

What a loss of a great chance!

Download time: several hours.
Entertainment time: several seconds... probably.
Even for free, it's not so interesting.

And what do you get for free? An island and a plane? Then pay out of the :hrmm: for another GA plane, and some more islands. You've reached the total cost of FSX, and in Flight all you have is an island chain... microsoft B) yeah!
