    Question MS Flight

    Thought that I would down load the program and install to see what it is all about. Down loaded three times and every time I started it it woulld not start. Finally just threw it out. If any one else can tell me how to install and get it to work let me know, till then will stay with XP

    It took me five attempts, the fourth had major in game problems prompting the last. I used "run as administrator" on the exe. I don't know if that was it or not...Don

    I downloaded MS Flight okay last week out of curiosity, it was billed as "Free game", but as far as i can tell it's just a demo, you play the 5-minute balloon-dodging scenario over and over.
    The graphics were okay but not a patch on FSX, and after a while i uninstalled it.
    In fact i don't know what MSF is for, maybe it's meant for people whose PC's are not powerful enough for FSX and FS2004?

    Both of my downloads and installs went fine. It's missing something so don't like it any more. Hope to get Battlefield 3 before long.

    If you can't get past the intro mission, then something isn't right with your install. After the first couple missions you can fly around the Big Island all you want without doing another mission or finding aerocaches. Unfortunately, the two free planes and single island probably won't keep most interested for more than a couple hours. There is still a decent sim under the hood, however, there is also a lack of content right now.

    I downloaded it, installed & played it but then couldn't find how to launch it again , so I logged into ms live , clicked the download link again & it popped up straight away without having to actually download it , my verdict is the graphics look nice , the flight characteristics looked game like & unrealistic , I was really disappointed with it & will remove it from my hard drive. I would like to know if x plane 10 is any good, personally I think fsx with photo scenery or orb x scenery with Rex overdrive is going to take some beating for real flight simulator enthusiasts.

    I downloaded the X-Plane10 demo a couple of weeks ago and can't see any improvement over FSX, so i'll stick with FSX.

    What version of windows are you running? MS flight requires SP2 for windows vista and 7. For xp you will need SP3, make sure windows update is on and you have all the latest updates from microsoft. Also check you graphics card for softwate updates.
