Microsoft Flight - new free flight simulator. Let's play!

Microsoft Flight is a free to play flight simulator available for download on Steam. Hard-core. Flight Simulator fans will be dissapointed. This version is an easy to pick up and play, Arcade feeling game. As soon as you fire the game up for the first time you are flying, with a pleasant sounding female instructor giving you instructions as you go. Within just a few minutes the game has taught you how to turn, climb, descend, adjust throttle, lower the landing gear, and make a rudimentary landing. One of the best openings to a game I've ever seen.

One of the knocks on Microsoft Flight is the fact that you are limited to flying on and around the main island of Hawaii. The island is done extremely well with great attention to detail and breathtaking graphics. I'm OK with this business model - a free point of entry with small incremental payments for downloadable content (DLC). There is already a Hawaiian Adventure expansion available, and an Alaska expansion is coming out this spring. These packs come with scenery, missions, and planes.

I'll be posting a series of HD "Let's Play" videos in this thread and on my YouTube channel. Hope you enjoy!
