Aerocrash landing

First experiences with Microsoft Flight.

It’s a Microsoft Flight Simulator product.  Similar controls and feel.  Load time is nice and slow on my quad-core 3ghz recommended machine.

Got my flight yoke and pedals hooked back up.  Bumped up the effects to max with just a bit of lag.  Flew around a few balloons.  Great graphics but sky is a bit grainy.

Not sure what Multiplayer is for yet… had a couple guys talking about 45 knot winds…

I clicked on Search Bing for the first Aerocache hint.   Who’s idea was it to to call an external browser anyway???

Seems like a pretty fun game and the points and achievements system really makes flying more fun. 

Service Pack 1 better come out before I get the Hawaii upgrade.

Microsoft Flight Released

Microsoft didn’t quite kill off the Flight Simulator franchise, or at least I think they didn’t.   Will see after the 1.7GB download installs with Windows Marketplace, Games for Windows and a couple other things.  That would be now.

The sky's the limit! Now anyone can enjoy the fun, freedom and adventure of flight. Feel the power at your fingertips as you take to the skies and launch into thrilling missions and exciting challenges over the free-to-play Big Island of Hawaii. Take off today and fly into the ever-expanding world of Microsoft Flight.*
