  1. This video is designed to show off the Star of Microsoft's Flight...The wonderful simulation of Sea. There is however, a Loop and a Roll from the Co-Star, the ICON A5, right at the end of the video.

    This is an HD video so click the resolution up to 1080p and then click the "Full Screen" icon at bottom right.

    Thanks for looking :)

  2. You can have a LOT of fun in a "Basic" aeroplane, even if it has no instrument panel. Video of the Japanese Zero in

    MS FLIGHT.

    This is an HD video so click the resolution up to 1080p and then click the "Full Screen" icon at bottom right.

    Thanks for looking :)

  3. This is a prolonged oscillatory spin in the RV-6A aeroplane...Most enjoyable!

    This is an HD video so click the resolution up to 1080p and then click the "Full Screen" icon at bottom right.

    I know that MS Flight does not have the word "Simulator" in it, but this is the very best Flight Simulation of a Spin

    that I have ever seen. And I have done a lot of real life spinning! :)

  4. The first half of this video shows a successful aerocache. The second half shows previous attempt "Out Takes",

    which just go to prove that you should not mess with a volcano in the dark!

    This is an HD video so click the resolution up to 1080 and then click the "Full Screen" icon at bottom right.

  5. Clips of low flying round the Hawaian coast in an amphibian, using Microsoft's Flight. Having spent 12 years as a

    Ground Attack Fighter Pilot, I feel qualified to say that this simulation of low flying is easily the best I have ever

    experienced. The simulation of water is the best I have ever seen...It moves and sparkles in a most realisic manner.

    This is an HD video so click the resolution up to 1080 and then click the "Full Screen" icon at bottom right.

    Thanks for looking :)

  6. The real joy for me is low flying around the coasts of the islands over the most realistic coastline terrain and seawater that I have ever seen in any Flight Simulator. I am just loving it and find it the most exhilerating experience...I love GA...Airliners and Military flying, I've been there and done that. Microsoft FLIGHT is a very fine product with NO performance issues. I have everything maxed and 1600x1200 resolution and it runs as smooth as silk...FABULOUS!

    Well Done Microsoft :)

  7. Yes, you can just untick the HUD anytime you like :)

    Looking at some of the panel controls it is obvious that radio is coming...I hope that Traffic is coming too.

    In fair weather with these aircraft you can set the controls fine enough to break for tea and cakes, but you can't do that in bad weather because of the updrafts and downdrafts. The flight characteristics of the aircraft that I have are just excellent.

  8. The water is nice, but everything else looks like FSX! I don't know if it's just me, but I think MS could have done a little more to enhance the sim game, even is only on the graphical side.

    By the way, is the water at least 3D?

    Yes, the water is 3D and the waves affect the aircraft.

  9. The real star of Flight is the sea...Easily the best I have seen. It is best viewed by flying along directly over the coast at about 1000 feet...Then go into free view (F11) and pan with your hat switch till the Sun's reflections are bouncing of the tops of the waves to your eye. You may need to be behind the aircraft of ahead of it to see the best sparkles but you will soon spot the best view. Screenshots will show the sparkle but not their movement. However, I have taken a few screenshots today:-
