Microsoft To Offer Flight For Free This Spring 241
hypnosec writes "Microsoft's Flight Simulator series, which was in dormant state until now, will see a re-launch this spring and that too for free. The name of this series will be simply Flight, and players will have free access to the digital sky with this simulator. In other words, it will be available as a free download; however, the user would need to buy additional content to enhance their experience. The content that can be purchased includes aircraft as well as new environments. Microsoft states that the most amazing part of this game is the user can experience some real life locations like Big Island of Hawaii along with 'region-specific weather patterns, foliage, terrain and landmarks.'" [Video demo here.] I'd like to know where the ESRB finds "crude humor" or "mild violence" in there.

Flap your arms all you want, cowboy, you're not leaving the ground.

The free model seems great too
Nope, there's an article just a few down saying that this model is broken, and since it was on Slashdot it must be true!

It's probably the inflatable auto-pilot and the nun with the baseball bat.

Oh look, another fucktard claiming "Shill! Shill!" against an informative post, just because they don't like MS! How unusual...

Microsoft Flight without any add-ons would be better known as Microsoft Walk.

Next up, movie add-ons! You get a copy of the script for free. $5 gets you a copy showing the characters against a greenscreen with no CGI. Another $10 will add in backgrounds. $10 each for household items, guns, explosions and nudity.

nah, the crude humor is that all the flights in the game are on-time, and you get a meal + beverage for free
