MS Flight - Available a day early...

**greggerm** · 02-28-2012, 12:57 PM

Flight appears to be available for download on Microsoft's site a day early.

Since this is a storefront, it will balk a bit at payment information. You can use your "Microsoft Points" to download it... being free, it doesn't actually require any points, but it will ask you to update billing information for the Marketplace information. This is probably a better way to make your "purchase" than providing credit card information for a sale of $0.00.

You know you want to... get going and take a look if you didn't get to play around in the beta!

(*or wait until it's more widely advertised tomorrow)

Cheers!

Dead Link! I tried the GFWL Marketplace link that was installed by the Beta, and got the same "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" result.
Even going thru the MS Download Center, didn't work, so, either they got hacked, their server is overwhelmed, or those links are no longer valid...Don

Go to www.xbox.com and do a search for Flight.. They actually show a release date of of 27th which would have been Euro and 28th for NA.. kind of sticking to the Xbox release cycles I guess.

nm ... their switching website addresses around I guess.

Let's just say that it took longer to install (not even counting the download time) than the amount of time I "played" it. Uninstalling right now lol...

Before you get rid of it take some shots first.... tried to download but got the run around. so have to wait .....

Ack - it looks like they pulled it down. Somebody forgot that the last day of the month is tomorrow rather than today.

Sorry about that, but perhaps some of you got in and downloaded it before they pulled the curtains down for one more day...

Amazing you can actually step out of the cockpit and do an inspection

This sim rocks, I love the new camera effects and some of the smoothest flying since FS9. Kind like using the xbox controller, at least it's ergonomic compared to the x-52 pro.
