The Microsoft Flight (2012) Forum

...that got you're attention huh!Well I have indeed just flown in FLIGHT with TrackIR very basically (and a little abruptly) following my head movements.As expected, this was possible using TIR's Mouse Emulation program.Here is what i did;1). Go into TrackIR and change your key assignment for "Pause" to something other than F9 (the default), because in FLIGHT, the F9 key controls the VC view, so if you don't change it, TIR will override it and you can't select the VC!2). Browse to your PROGRAM FILES NATURALPOINT TrackIR 5 folder, and double click on the "TIR Mouse" exe.3). Make sure "X axis autopanning" is ticked.4). Now minimize TrackIR and TIRMouse, and launch FLIGHT.…

Hey guys!,Just wanted to post links to my new microsoft flight videos. Just tried out the game and found some things very unrealistic compared to fsx, therefore i decided to fraps abit and cut together a short video. Those videos are just for fun so no offense to the people who enjoy microsoft flight ;)

Hi there! Im new to this forum, and i hope i can be a valuable memberof this community.So, as the title suggests, this is what i think Microsofts business plan is for flight.it's a long post wich might seem like a rant at first but please read the full post.After the dismantling of the FSX development studio:Flight sim product manager in meeting:" Where do we go from here, we have a half-done engine and with the recent cutsto the flightsim budget, we cannot afford a 3 - 4 years full development ..."Microsoft market analist: "We might have a solution. What if we finish up the engine, the flight model and the general User Interface?If we add a small scenery and a few planes…

Playing with Flight fo a couple of days and reading this forum, I'm still not sure: Are there ANY navigation controls in Flight? I bought the Maule to get the Autopilot but it doesn't function. How do you do ILS approaches, set headings, etc.?? Is there some sort of manual?ThanksBrian

HI, Does anyone have any tips for getting the best performance out of MS Flight?At the moment I'm running MS Flight with this setup:Resolution - 1024x768Vertical Sync - OnShadow Quality - LowSharpness - HighScenery Density - LowScenery Quality - MediumTexture Quality - MediumWeather Quality - MediumBut I want it to run well with a lot of the stuff at high and resolution at 1680x1050.Here's my PC Specs:Ram - 4Gb (DDR2)GPU - Nvidia Geforce 8200 (1Gb)CPU - AMD Athlon II X2 245 (2.9 Ghz Duel Core)OS - Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit (With SP1)Hope you can help.

Has anyone installed Flight into a non-default location ???I have a dedicated partition into which I have tried 4 times to install and each time when I click onPlay - I get an error message.Although the option to select an install location is available in MarketPlace and the programme isphysically installed there I can`t get the game to open.Appreciate any commentsThanksGeorge

Every time I start up Flight, there is an offer to purchase the Hawaii add-on pack - which I already own..This is getting irritating... does everyone have this, or is it just me?And where do I register "bugs" ? Has anyone found an email address or forumto register problems?

Does anyone of you could release or have perhaps a simple and short tutorial on how to use VOR guidance and the proper utilization of ADF and DME within the Maule if possible ?Thanks in advance-Is this perhaps accurate and can be used also for Flight ?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEOc5rgx3EQThx

Anyone find this aerocache yet? I used Skyvector to get a radial/DME for the coordinate but I have been flying around in circles for 30 mins and can't find it. Anyone else find it?

Found this unusual anamoly while chasing some aerocaches...

I need help guys!I did a search and found only one other person reporting the problem that I am having. I mentioned the problem in another thread but I thought it best to start a new thread since the other thread was not specific to this problem. I hope that makes sense.I have 3 questions...1) Do you own a set of Saitek Rudder Pedals?2) When you assign the pedals to the LEFT and RIGHT break functions (within the Flight Options menu), do the assignments stay in place the next time you start Flight?3) Most importanly, if you HAD this problem and were able to "fix" it, how did you fix it?FYI, I already know that the CHProducts Pedals seem to be working for you. Please do not…

What happens if you have say a problem with your PC and Format your drive do you have to pay for the DLC again eg Hawaii add on?????

Hi all just wanting to know what happens if you have a problem with your PC and format the drive what happens regarding your DLC like Hawaii add on?? I noticed that when i bought Hawaii add on Microsoft Automaticly downloaded it and installed it. Does this mean I have to Pay for it again????Chears Jason

Well, is Flight a simulator, game, both or neither? My two cents: I would say it's both....

This may have been posted. Flight appears to have a ton of potential.

You know, I think Flight currently may be giving us some clues as to what may be coming soon in the form of DLC aircraft.I was just flying a challenge, and saw a message come up on the screen that you may need a seaplane or helicopter to find certain aerocaches...For the Hawaiin Islands, that would make sense.

Here is my new video: Enjoy!

Microsoft adds two things:1)Support for toe brakes2)Support for Track IRI'm fairly happy with everything else at the moment.

I'm flying along in the Maule on a mission, and up from Peleau comes a Stearman.He comes up behind me, and then drops away.Is multiplayer "on" all the time?RB

Hi,Ok I've fresh installed Flight twice now and still get this message when I try and start it:'Games for Windows-LIVE failed to initialize.Another Games for Windows-LIVE title may be running, or your product installation may be corrupted.You may need to repair or reinstall Microsoft Flight. (8007013D)#####?!!! I'm running XP on a current spec computer with DSL.FSX runs fine with all the best addons including PMDG 737, X-Plane 9 and 10 no problems.DCS A-10C Warthog no problems.I play iRacing and Rfactor in online racing leagues no problems, run a sophisticated DAW no problems.My computer is rock solid reliable and set up perfect for my applications.I have turned on all pr…

Is there not this option? I haven't been able to find it, and it is something I really enjoy about FSX. (Always fun to see how good, or not, that I have done in landing and take off.)

I realize I can set real world time.... can we set real world weather or custom/advanced weather like in FSX?

OK, admittedly I missed the boat on Google Earth until just this week. I rejected Google Earth some time back because I did not realize that Google Earth Plus changed to Google Earth in 2008, and the separate new product in effect was Google Earth Pro, not Plus. Google Earth Pro is mostly about selling demographic data.Now the free desktop version of Google Earth (not the free plug-in for your browser) is where all the goodies are. And there are lots of goodies. It is a seriously good program.Now, I was a beta tester of Flight, for about 1/2 hour after I got my CH Products Yoke up and working. That was it. It's a nice program, but simply not for me. So I did not want to …
