Here's the Deal....

Okay,

We've all heard "rumors" of what flight is to be, even read the Flight so-called "Fact Sheet".

My feelings now on it are this:

It's due out in 11 short days from now. I for one MAY repeat MAY try the game (yes I use game because that's what it seems like now), then draw conclusions from it. I think this forum has gone basically very down hill with everyone tearing at everyone's throat over their opinions on what FLIGHT is to be all about.

Why not we take these 11 days, simmer down a bit, try the game, then post for who has tried it and who hasn't.

Everyone has been expressing their ideas and opinions on this FLIGHT forum......as far as I have seen, no one has been disrespectful in doing that, so why not talk about FLIGHT? I wouldn't come here and say FLIGHT sucks, It's horrible or anything unfair in that fashion, but if I am upset by subject matter that is mostly or certainly factual like the information they have released or the almost certain fact that they will be the only ones able to develop, then why shouldn't I or anyone else say........that simply blows? Which it does! Things have died down a lot since Jan. Kudos to Flightsim for not sinking into a dictatorship as was the case at another place with their FLIGHT forum..........which is funny because according to a recent post, those other places saw this forum as such, which I have never in years witnessed.

Yep, what am I? The forum dictator or something like that?

I don't know, but you bear a striking resemblance to Donny Osmand!!

Any way, in a work environment, on a daily basis it can be really abrasive. So I think it is what you're used to, when someone raises their "voice" here, it seems ordinary to me and I'm trying to listen to the message they are delivering which I think has value. I mean, some of the nastiest most abrasive people tell you very important things. For example, have you seen the tv show "House, MD"? His abrasive personality is actually run of the mill, a large percentage of doctors are exactly that way, and worse. I did run into a Dr who was the most abrasive I've ever witnessed, while at the same time she was not helpful just the opposite, she was destructive. But there was one Dr who despite his atrocious bedside manner saved someone, and he was the only one with brains to have the ability to do so. So, I listen first, see if there is something of value, if not then the person is really a pain in the neck.

Why? Are you trying? LOL! Dictatorship. I saw a few of those posts. You guys are doing a great job keeping us in check and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Flight does show some promise is all I can say. If MS does offer DLC enhancements that address some real simulation activities, ATC, Tubes, and a series of regions/airports at 'liner capable distances, I'll probably add to it. If it isn't going in that direction, IMO, it will be a hanger queen...Don

I for one MAY repeat MAY try the game...

Why MAY - it's free?

I shall certainly try it and revert to FSX if I don't like it, and will have lost nothing.

That's the thing... at some point you have to except Flight will never be designed for you to just sit there for 5 hours while you cruise your way to the west coast, and still not be upset about it. Otherwise you are still sort of in denial. Dunno where the stage is when you pick up a copy of P3D or X-plane, but we'll all get there eventually.

For goodness' sake... some folks seem to think that FSX is simply going to self-destruct if they even look at Flight... Relax! It'll still be there!
