Microsoft decided to retire its amazing Flight Simulator series a few years back and the entire ‘Aces’ development squad was let go, but the rabid community wrote petitions and spam and who knows what else to convince Microsoft that there is still a market for a proper flight simulator without guns.
Microsoft Flight is the new version of this simulator, but it comes with a twist: It’s now a free to play game, with regions available for sale.
The launch title includes the main island of Hawaii, and the first DLC is available from day one via Game for Windows LIVE. The DLC includes a new plane and twenty new missions to enjoy across the rest of the Hawaiian islands.
With very realistic graphics that is apparently scalable to just about any PC and a new flight model that balances fun with realism, you can expect to have hours of fun flying around an island we all love, but have never been to.
Microsoft Flight launches on leap day, February 29th 2012!

... Hm... Well, I'll crash them just to tell people the next day that I survived a plane crash... Twice... In one day.
I might give this game a try, I won't be buying the premium content. but will just play around and try and do loop da loops.
