Gamespot behind the scenes with MS Dev Team

Oops, I meant Gamespot (I always do that) ;)

I haven't watched the video yet so, if its nonsense, I apologize but I didn't want to post something angry after watching it LOL

Ha-Ha! Freudian Slip?
Snot nonsense, but, more of a get to know us and our product type of video. Not very informative about the Game itself. At least nothing new.
I noticed they focused on their highly detailed aircraft modeling and did not include one "Gamey" shot.
I have to say, that P51 looks really good from what little we've seen. FDE? Systems? If those are up to the exterior standard, it will be sweet.

I have one question though. Where is the VSI in the Icon A5? Not anywhere to be found, so far. We can't add it either....Grrrrrr.
A contemporary plane without a functional Artificial Horizon and VSI isn't a plane that I'd wanna fly. Finish the Six-Pack, Icon!...Don

This is the same video mentioned here:

It is also on the FLIGHT website as 'webisode 7'

... that P51 looks really good from what little we've seen. FDE? Systems? If those are up to the exterior standard, it will be sweet. ...

From the MSFlight website news release (http://www.microsoft.com/games/flight/#news-flight_launch) "The North American P-51 Mustang flyable from the outside will be available via Games for Windows ..." and "Some models allow players to take the helm using highly rendered, accurate cockpits ...". The phrases "Flyable from the outside" and "Some models" catch my eye, no VC would explain the lower price. Errr... points.

Don't be fooled, based on what I have seen/heard/read/surmised, the P-51 has no VC. Carefully selected words by Microsoft disguise many actualities, an irritating game they play.

Sux...

Keeping in mind the carnival atmosphere of Flight will help your caveat emptor skills.

Hey! I just realized something. Feb. 29, 2012! Leap Day, Leap Year, Big Leap on MS' part! Could be a long drop...Don

The ICON A5 is a Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) and is only certified for VFR day flight, so no attitude indicator or VSI is required. After all, one could quickly notice whether the big needle on the altimeter was spinning clockwise or anti-clockwise!

Unfortunately for MSGS, just the other day ICON have decided to put flaps back on the production models, so it won't be 100% accurate any longer in Flight. Perhaps one of the future DLC (free of course!) wll be to update the model in Flight with flaps... ;)
