And What a Game it is....Some great comments were made about the Rock formations recently...And I agree that they are extraordinary!Yes I agree..,and Said!,I was thinking that!..you Said it! THX!!.
In the Photo Shoot thing..I was Impressed with the Realistic ground scenery...and with a sharp eye,all the prominent features....The Peal Harbor Picture taking,was most impressive....along with the comments of the Photographer I was flying around,he gave great descriptions!.Man The guy Can Talk!!...The Impact and History of Pearl Harbor as it is of today was worth the trip!!...
In FS9,and FSX that area required lots of Scenery Additions...This seem as it Is.Natural..Ships Memorials,Ford Field,all of it!!..If this is a Game?,then all Sims are a Game of sorts..
.In any event,be it FS9, FSX,and now FLIGHT...I will take the best of THREE WORLDS...My Hangers are Filled with planes,Mosty hanger Queens...in life,if ya had a Cub,Piper,or a CESSNA,you were FORTUNATE!, It more realistic to Fly as most general Aviation Pilots do!!Look at my AVATOR!...Wanna go back to that?? and we thought that was Great!!
.But we do have Heavy iron,jets choppers,scenery's, ET ALL!/All in our FS9 or FSX! Would be out of place in this FLIGHT Format!! My DESK TOP WALTER MITTY WORLD has expanded!..Yes FLIGHT IS FUN!!...these Comments are my own. This Game is FREE,...Upgrade if you wish,'''Or Do nothing??? Or give it to a Kid!Now thats something to do..I could see any kid with FLIGHT....A great learning tool and a conduit to other Sims! You may just create a Real Pilot doing this!!.
.I'm sure our great designers will acquire some thing out of FLIGHT ,to be incorporated in our Beloved FS9,and our FSX,,Of which we will always have!
Its still Great!, like a Hawaiian vacation!Soon Alaska,Can "OVER THERE" be far behind??!And NO, I did "NOT" receive any Monetary consideration for my Opinions.,enthusiasm.,delight and the much more additional ...,Fun!!.. As "FLIGHT is Free??..I could not be bought!.. ;D

Is this an online game only? Yes and no. It is a Games for Windows Live product and a GFWL account is needed to get all the features (including the Stearman) but you do not need to get involved in multi-player. There are 3 settings for m-p, Public which allows anyone to join your session, Friends Only which is just that, only friends on GFWL can enter your game, and there is Private which I often use when doing a white knuckle 200 mile smuggling run with the Maule. |

But is it necessary to always be on-line in order for it to function, Tom? Or can the player tootle around off-line, completely free of the internet? |

I Guess its like FS9 or FSX..playing on line...if anything to get the real world weather...but I guess ya can,and if yer online with your computer ,and using the computer to Fly on?..I would think yer on Bruce! However yer alluding to some other function where being Off line is required.... I .like that "TOOTLE AROUND!!"When some one asks me what I'm Doing??? I'll tell them "TOOTELING AROUND" ;D..CHEERS MATE!

No, it isn't necessary to be online to use Flight. Some of the features will not work (Aerocache Hunt for example) and some stats will not update (or stick) but those things are options. You will need to be connected to GFWL to obtain the Stearman, but not to fly it afterwards. In the two week period between the official end of the beta and the release I flew every day with no problem. The game tries to log in to GFWL on startup but if you are disconnected from the internet it will fail and you can continue to free flight. Even now I can play on my laptop without a network connection. I just shut off the wireless and play. |
