Flight Sims

[drew]

I've not done a flight sim in probably 15 years (IL2). I just want to hop into a plane and fly and watch the scenery. Hopefully they have a "dumb dumb" mode for just that, so I'm not having to fuck around with prop pitch and air/fuel mixtures, etc, etc.

I just want to see all the pretty

I’m pretty sure they will. One of their recent development videos mentioned making it easy to play on an Xbox controller, while also giving the option for hardcore flight nerds to make it as sadistic as they want.

The question I have: will you be able to do mach 2 20' above the Sears Tower?

All of the airports.

ALL. OF. THE. AIR. PORTS.



Pretty clever, if a bit labour intensive. And of course they’re using Bing Maps…

I'm actually quite blown away by this game, and like drew i really hope that a n00b like me can play it easily enough.

Instantly recognised Queenstown's airport in the vid above, as have been plane spotting there before, and last year we stayed in a hotel there that's right across the road from the runway. I'm not an elite PCer, so it'd be the OneX for me, hopefully it still looks epic on that come release time.
