Usually when i lean an engine i would just decrease the mixture until the engine temp reaches a safe peak, but theres no engine temp gauge in the rv - 6 so what is the correct way i can do it?thank you fellow aviation enthusiasts

I was wondering if your copilot can fly the plane during those long cruises across islands? If so, how can you get them to do it?Thanks!

Hi,Was part of the Beta and got an email last month saying I will get the Hawaii Adv. Pack for free,still no sign of it.Any other members that were part of the Beta not get it?Is there anyway I can contact MS about this?Anyway just got a Dell 30'' this week,Flight looks and runs really well @2560x1600 even though Im only using 1 gtx 580 1.5gb gpu,looking forward to Kelper.

Browsing through the Awards list I noticed two that are impossible.........one being achieve Mach 2........the next achieve Mach 3.........not sure how we are supposed to achieve these .........perhaps there is a rocket ship.......LOL.on the way.......hopefully.

I have 3 monitors. Center is dell u3011 running 2560x1600Other 2 monitors are 1680x1050 I think. When I run in full screen mode it blacks out my other 2 screens which I want to have up for web searches.If I run in window mode and drag it almost full screen it does what I want.Why is this?

I have the feeling that the planes are rolling too fast compare to real life.... is there a way to adjust the control sensitivity ?thank you`Greg

Does the installer insist that you install on drive C: or can you install to whatever directory & drive you want to?

I know that the Maule did not have a functional autopilot during the beta period...but has anyone figured out how to make the autopilot work, now that we have the release version?

Sorry MS, but the Pali Highway and the H-3 Freeway are not the same road.After flying the Pali three times, lower and slower each time, then landing on the road to WALK it, I figured I'd better check the Likelike and H-3 as well, in case they put the marker on the wrong one. They did.

During my googling of closed airports in Hawaii that aren't listed on the map by an icon in the legend I also remembered the map legend having a seaplane base. Well there is one with fuel!Island Seaplane Tours is represented. Link to map location: http://maps.google.c...ge&ved=0CDcQ_BIReal Location from Google Maps.In game

without having to pay for DLC twice? I'd like to set up a second profile for my son. It seems as if the DLC is paired with the Windows live account and can't be copied even on the same computer.

Hi fellow MS Flight players just wanted to tell you that you can add me in Microsoft Flight if you'd like to fly with me. I fly by the name in the Topic Bar. SpeedDemonTrev. Add Me and We'll have some fun flying thanks that's all have a great day or night everyone.

The new Microsoft Flight is less of a simulator and more of a game. That being said, I will review it as a game. I have been a gamer since I first laid my hands on an Atari joystick. Since then I have been into gaming. I have owned every major gaming console since the Nintendo Entertainment System and have played more games than what is most likely healthy. From a gaming standpoint, this is how I see Flight stacking up. The menu layout is par for most games and the setup is strait forward. Key assignments could have been done better, however it is not terrible. After starting the game for the first time, I quickly realized that the opening mission the game …

I'm curious.. Maybe someone who was in beta can chime in. As I'm sure this isn't the only instance of this.Here is Old Kona Airport State Park.. Clearly (as it should be) identified with the X's to indicate it's closed.But here it is on the map without being labeled "Closed Airport". Seems kind of strange to me to implement a legend icon, have airports that could make use of it but not bother. I personally would find it interesting to fly around the islands checking out closed airports.Yes, I landed at old Kona Airport anyway. :)

Wow! This is a long mission.Don't let the mission description fool you. It says 1hr, but let me tell you, 1hr isn't even close! (Unless you use the Next Waypoint feature which will knock your score down quite a bit). For owners of the Hawaii Adventure Pack, this may be one of the best missions in Flight. But be ready for a session over 4 hours long. Here is a link to the flight path. The route is over 600nm long and takes you from Hawaii to Maui on to Oahu, then out to Kauai with a return trip back direct to Hawaii. Add in the scenic diversions, time orbiting for the photographer, and a layover at Dillingham for a break and refuel (and you're gonna need that refue…

I have neer made a video of flying before and would love to have a go. I read somewhere that FRAPS works with Flight.I would like to make a few basic videos of things like " how to get gold in the challenges " type of thing. Basic stuff with no voiceovers.Will I need to put them on youtube ?Any advice or help would be much appreciated. Thanks.Fred.

...but I just couldn´t resist. I´m newcomer to Avsim forums and found my way here after searching some forum with discussion of MS Flight. Some sensible discussion that is, ´cause comments about the game on the forums of some other sims (Cliffs of Dover, DCS, X-Plane...) don´t seem very reasonable. Basic story goes like this: "Dodging balloons! W00t! Hated it, uninstalled within 10 minutes!!! Screw you M$!!!". I just can´t understand this childish, narrowminded (on a second thought, scratch that; children are, after all more open minded than us adults) hate that is raging on forums. Why? Because there really seems to be no reason for it. Flight really is a good game. And…

Ok, so allow me to indulge myself and post my own opinion for a minute as I am sure everyone is sick and tired of reading what others think. I thought I would offer a different perspective on Flight from a "hardcore simmer" (Cold and dark, 45 minute pre-flight, by the book, by the charts flyer)My First noticeable impression and this is pretty funny but Flight has the best water sounds I have heard in ages! Seriously, I could have just sat in the cockpit and listened to water hitting the side of the plane after landing for the 2nd mission. it was SOOOO relaxing!!! I actually thought, wow, this could be the basis for the best shipsim to date LOL!So with that being said,…

Well, I see many posts about it, and I think the most simple solution for those pedals is to open the Saitek profiler, go to Programming, move the mouse arrow over left toe, a small arrow will appear, click on it, a pop up menu will appear, then choose bands, then click on the band 33%-66%, press the key z on your keyboard (this is the default key assigned to the left brake, if you changed it then press the key you assigned at the command "left brake"), do the same with the band 66%-100%. Repeat the same for the right toe (of course choosing the key for right brake "C" for default), save your profile and assign it to your pedals by clicking the small icon (I suppose you k…

Hi: I know there is a post on this already, but I am confused (not unusual)...Here is the section from my Standard XML file relarted to the trim adjustment...I want to make the changes necessary to reduce the trim effect, but my file doesn't look like the ones I have been seeing on the Forum:<Entry> <Key>SHIFT+VK_DOWN</Key> <Down> <EventName>FlightControls.PitchTrimUpIncrement</EventName> </Down> </Entry> <Entry> <Key>SHIFT+VK_UP</Key> <Down> <EventName>FlightControls.PitchTrimDownIncrement</EventName> </Down> </Entry>Can some kind soul tell me what…

I wish/hope there is some way MS Flight users can submit feature requests and bugs directly to the Microsoft Flight development team.Yes, there is an email address, but there seems to be no public forum or knowledge base for features and fixes, so we could see what's being considered or not.After my limited experience as a beta user (where we had a direct feedback database) and now with the initial release, I can say the top two missing features on my wish list are:1) Force feedback for my Microsoft Sidewinder FF2 joystick - surely the code already existsts add this missing bit of realism to Flight?2) Flight planning - another simple bit of code with a big payoff in added…

Like many other long time flight simmers I have been very pleasantly surprised by Flight. The nice visuals and scenery, excellent performance and sheer fun of flying endeared Flight to me enough to cough up for the Hawaii pack and the Maule. After years of endless tweaking it is so refreshing just to have something that looks great and runs great straight out of the box. No more trawling forums trying to collect tweaks or configuration file edits, no more experimenting with snake oil hily grail tweaks. It just works as it's meant to. Then of course there is the simplicity of the programme itself - I don't have to run through a ten minute ritual of starting and connecting …

Hi,I was wondering if anyone else had this issue and sorted it out?The actual aircraft texture on all my installed planes look pretty rough bit the scenery textures outside look fine. Really odd. At first I thought it was a ploy by microsoft to get you to buy the extra planes then all looks good but it was not to be.I'm running 2 X 5870 ATI cards 500mhz each on a reasonable system that displays FSX just fine. Tried changing the different settings within Flight but no luck. As I said though the scenery looks great.Any help would be appreciated please.Thanks,Andrew

What should developers be looking at in terms of relevant api's in order to produce software for Flight? Is it all X-Box development? Please advise and thanks!Mark

Hi Folks, Flight is working well on my computer and the X-52 Joystick works well wit it. I can't get the throttle to work and was wondering if there is something I have to do to get it to work. Thanks
