Took a little walk with FLIGHT

So far, I really like the terrain graphics in Flight. Still trying to figure things out, but I think it's a keeper.
 
I know this is an FSX thread but I thought that more folks would see this post here
Mods-If you need to move do so please

Well I hadn't tried it yet - So I did - landed the Icon off the coast of Maui and got out

call me VJ - Virtual Jesus - because I was walking on water lol...cant do water to wine yet though.
 
Try slamming the throttle forward and then quickly get out of the aircraft before it starts rolling.... Watch it take off on it's own! :icon_lol:
 
The observatories on top of Mauna Kea are nicely modeled. Took a while to get up to 13K feet, but fun. FTX needs to do Hawaii scenery for FSX and add these. I like the scenery in Flight, but the water needs some work and the clouds are a bit dull along with the aircraft. Meaning that the aircraft provided are dull and we need REX for Flight. The rain is too dark, cartoon like, even more so than FSX.

So far I am not hearing 3rd party developers rushing to create new aircraft, so I'm treating Flight as a beta.

From my perspective, if Flight pulls in beginners and out of that experience someone becomes a real pilot or developes the next gen fligh sim, then this is a good thing. FSX 3rd party developers have nothing to worry about.

Its my understanding that there will be no third party developers .

I could be wrong here, but I believe 3rd party folks had there chance and said no .
 
Screen shots ?

Just wondering what you are using to take screen shots . I am really beginning to like Flight . Once you read the manual and learn some of the keys and start exploring some of the hidden goodies it's a lot of fun . Love walking around the fields and airports too . I tried using Snapper which is an excellent freeware snapshot program which works very well in FS9/FSX but couldn't get to work in Flight . I took the bite and added the whole Hawaiian chain of islands and it was really worth it . The ground textures and various objects are excellent .

Screen shots to follow when I find something to take them with . I know you can use the key V but can you take several shots during the same flight session ? I'm not sure where Windows 7(64) stores them either since I have been using Snapper for so long .

I have nothing to base this on , just my humble opinion , but I think Flight is an excellent base to start do to it's excellent texturing and smoothness and I personally think we will probably have some great thinks to look forward to in the future .:applause:

Ha ha,
It really isn't that bad for some low 'n' slow in a nice bipe and some pretty scenery and it runs very smoothly on most people's pcs. I'll stick with it for Hawaii and the add-on pack and see how it feels after a few weeks.

To take shots I tried the "V" key as FsX and it worked.

Look in your image library. You will find a folder called images or photos (in Norwegian «bilder»)
And Yes I suppose that you are able to take several shots :icon_lol:

I actually went to buy Areofly, and they had no copy's in stock . Then after reading about how there are very few features in Areofly (no start/stop motor, click-able cockpit and so on) I realizes that Areofly was more of a game than Flight is . And look at all the people commenting how well Areofly is . Yes I'm as disappointed as many finding out that Fight was not another Flight simulator series .
