Title: Microsoft flight beta
Post by: MrRiplEy[H] on December 03, 2011, 05:03:49 PM
MS is looking for beta testers for MS flight. The graphics seem to be pretty cool although it's just flying around kinda thing.

I'll definitely try it out. I'll have to wait until I can DL it on my desktop though. My laptop struggles with AH graphics. That would probably set my laptop on fire!  :bolt:

Ya they did, but from what i remember it wasnt too good. If i remember correctly, i believe it was called combat flight simulator and used the FS2002 engine models.

Very poor AI...  I played that for a while before I found AH.  I thought I would hit the ground running with my prior MS combat FS...  Boy was I wrong.

Got my invite for this and played for a few hours alst night. Was fun, but I an't figure out how to access any content. Are there any more aircraft besides the Stearman and Icon? (I'd love to own an Icon in real life). Also, how do I access the other islands?

At last we can agree on something.


I played MS CFS3 before I started AH.


MS CFS3 pounds sand in comparison.
