Back when I was a teenager, my poor ass high school got some tech grant money and built a flight sim using Flight Simulator. The inside resembled a cockpit, and it was actually pretty fucking fun to use (being a high school in a fair sized poor ass city though, it fell into disrepair soon thereafter).
I'm not sure I could ever play another sim game without that setup, but if its free, maybe I'll pull a Snoopy and throw on the red baron hat.

One plane, one island, GFWL (which provides another plane), nickel-and-dimming DLC, and no user-generated content allowed. It's like an infinite pool of stupid ideas coalesced into a single "game." Microsoft may gain some casual players here, but mark my words: X-Plane will gain almost all of its old fans.
Wow, what a load of crap. As a FSX simmer, any hope I had of Flight being even a halfway decent successor to FSX just went out the window. Im serious about my aviation simulators spending hundreds of dollars on addons. I was hoping for a new simulator that would bring better framerates and flight dynamics, instead I get freebie kiddie crap on an island. Xplane 10 is garbage so I wont even talk about that, but at least they tried, which is more than I can say about MS.
Guess Ill just keep playing FSX for another 6 years.

Interesting that it "takes place on the Big Island of Hawaii"....does that mean I won't be able to pilot the red eye from John Wayne to Denver International anymore? But why? Microsoft Pilotwings?
I think this was a way to identify potential terrorist threats easier..
Granted they'd (the FBI CIA) would never say it publicly, it only makes sense that only so many people would want to buy and learn to fly a commercial passenger plane.

Said this on another site earlier today: Wonder how long before News outlets get wind of this and claim the terrorist can start training their pilots again?

That doesn't even make sense. Not to mention after this announcement, nobody wanting to simulate a real flying experience would even bother with this game. Prepar3d by Lockheed is a far superior simulator in every way when it comes to true aviation simulation.

This is sadly how games are today: the new Flight Simulator have only one island but... it has achievements!!
Games for Windows LIVE title..... Nope. Microsoft's wasting its and everyone's time by still supporting that awful software. Most of the Steam sales I didn't were due to GFWL :( . Stop ruining PC Games Microsoft!
The entire draw for me to play MFS was the fun in downloading dozens and dozens of addons. I might see on the news Air Force One flew from DC to some town and I would download the Af1 skin and fly it myself. Other times I may fly a Delta route or a virtual airline route.
Flying props around a island is not the least bit interesting to me.
My dad before he passed away after hearing about me playing MFS went out about a pc and modded Air Force bases with planes and AI route and I was amazed. The local AF base he retired from was on his screen full of military planes coming and going. He was so tickled and this coming from a guy who never played games at all and over night he is gaming with a flight controller lol.

It makes perfect sense to me. no one who plays these simulators will want "this" simulator because either they have it or have a better one already like the one you mentioned. Either way I think the gov watches or tries to watch most things we do because they're just as paranoid. Just the other day I was reading that certain phrases tweeted can get you watched (think I read it on gawker?)

If they keep the costs down for new regions, I'm fine with this model. This sounds like it could be pretty fun!
