Some months ago Microsoft made clear that they would resurrect Flight Simulator and now few details on Flight, as the new game will be called, have emerged.
It will be a free-to-play game with extra free content given to those brave enough to venture into Games for Windows Live territory.
Graphics don't look particularly hot (but I've been spoiled by DCS A-10C) and it's evident that MS are going for a non-simulation feeling, starting from the control scheme.
On the bright side specs are very low and MicroSoft don't want to cut out XP users.
Trailers released so far feature preminently a RV6A, a P-51 Mustang, a Mode 75 Kaydet and a ICON A5, with glimpses of other aircrafts; no jets right now, only propellers.
I'm not the biggest fan of civilian flight simulators, but looks like this genre will continue to exist thanks to dedicated fan efforts.
