Here from 2020 reliving some old memories of this game. Was my first flight 'sim' game. Very excited for the new Flight Simulator coming in August. Glad the Icon A5 is gonna be in it.
Pitot heat is for the pitot tube on the outside of the airplane. The pitot heat provides impact air to the airspeed indicator. The heat is needed when flying through clouds and when flying in freezing conditions. A electrical coil inside the tube provides heat, and it gets hot to...really hot...and hurts when you touch it lol.
There is a $10 adapter you can buy that lets you connect the wireless controllers to the PC, or if your controller is wired you can just plug it right in (but as pointed out already, the play and charge cable doesn't work for this).
P.S, I can play on single player without the product code, but I'd rather have live to get achievements + multiplayer + Alaska and the other free plane.
As a flight simmer since 95, I can say this is the best thing that has happened to the genre. Nice learning curve and free to play! And for the haters, yes all the flight sim buttons and knobs are there. Also we have to wait for updates for more content, as this game is a rolling release.
No, pitot heat is completely different from "pilot heat". Pitot heat runs off of a electrified coil in the tube. cabin heat runs off of air running over the exhaust shroud in the engine compartment. In my years of flying both at local airports and at the college, I have never heard anyone refer to the cabin heat as pitot heat or pilot heat.
It was built specifically to better prepare new simulator pilots for the more complex simulators. It's not a bad game. In fact, its actually a lot more enjoyable to play than the previous simulators cus you dont have to be all official when you fly or talk. You can screw around and have fun with friends. Yeah, it doesnt cover the entire world, but they have added Alaska to the game, which happens to be the biggest state in the country, as we all know.
@DanceLikeANitwit Yeah, that's why the 23 minute Tekken 3D video is "gameplay" and the 48 minute Twisted Metal one is a "quick look". That distinction makes perfect sense.
I believe he was referring to the development team. Microsoft gave the boot to that lot after Flight Simulator X, so he has a point. And this game is not what FS series used to be, this is aimed at the larger playerbase and many simulator features were stripped from it to make it more gamey.
I know it's not a simulator like X-plane, or certain simulation software from LevelD, but with certain add-ons, FSX can have quite realistic flight dynamic. Yes, the weather is the real weakness of FSX (there is no 3D weather, like X-plane, but only up- and downdrafts). Anyway what I was saying is that the concept of the game is more simulative... you can recreate a real world flight, from routes, to approach if you have all the documentation and the right add-ons.
Can anybody help me out here? I have steam on my computer but when i search for microsoft flight just the trailers show up and not the game. Any help would by appreciated.
No worry my man. i was an avid 2002 flyer until i got on mac and was forced to use flightgear and x-plane. but i honestly wish someone made a sort of mixture between MF and MFS. it would be amazing. The missions and achievements and avater with the realism of MFS. It would be a completely new dimension to flight simulators. Being given the option of simulating not just flying, but an aviation life, regardless of which domain.
We should be glad that although FSX is old, the abundant supply of addons out there will continuously to update the realism, graphics and features of the simulator for the years to come. Even FS2004 is still in widespread use, and it's almost nine years old. Why? Addons. The community will never stop making them.
.... This engine is a modified Real Virtuality engine, chosen because of it's ability to have so much of the map already rendered without affecting the player's framerate (much). The DayZ devs were planning on borrowing the already modified version, but decided to instead modify the version they're already using. This is the reason we've had to wait longer for a release of DayZ.
The game is only in its early stages, the developers are still working on it. I am sure as time goes on the will add more planes into the actual game and maybe work on better graphics and stuff. Maybe even add more land.
hey, I just downloaded this game but I´d like to know... is it all about Hawaii? I can only see the Icon A5 in the hangar, I don't see any boeing, Airbus, CRJ, etc. and that's what I really liked from FSX. Please let know :) Great video btw! Great review! :)
Is this game really good (Im not talking about grapichs, Im talking about simulation and features), Cause I'm a little low at my HD Space, so I'll have to unistall my FSX to install it, does it really worth, is there any Lessons and things like in FSX?
i would get FSX instead of this but i cant because i already own it and i cant find all the discs to it plus its not on steam so i cant put in my product key and download it
Did you leave a comment on the wrong video? He mentions several times that there are different types of camera modes. In fact, he goes through them several times as well.
If you have the product key, get the install from Pirate Bay. Then you won't have to worry about saving disks. I just reinstalled FSX recently from a downloaded ISO. Was much faster than the discs.
Check out Prepar3d flight sim its the old FSX code aquired from microsoft by Lockheed.Its the old FSX code and lockheed have tweeked it abit to get better FPS.Most of the FSX addons work with it no probs
Is this better then FSX? Please reply guys,and one more question,Can I play this on max settings with the cheappest alienware aurora r4? Thanks and once more please reply.
you should play straight up arma operation arrowhead, with editor and you can fly anything from mv22 ospreys to mi 8 helis to a10 warthogs and you can spawn in whoever you wanna fight in your aircraft
It may not say simulator but when a studio which produces the most critically acclaimed flight simulator in the public market you expect something similar to good.
Oh, sorry. My mistake. I'd like to get MS Flight at some point. Pretty soon I'm going to start saving up for a PC that hopefully will be able to run it.
as to the graphics part, utx, gex, fs global and rex(have to pay for this one however) and u get ultra-realistic graphics. now only if u have all those cockpit things, and a 3D and that's it lol.

Same bro 😂😂
bro the Icon A5 is gonna be one of my primary planes for sure

I have this but when I try to sign into windows live it asks for a product code :/
P.S, I can play on single player without the product code, but I'd rather have live to get achievements + multiplayer + Alaska and the other free plane.
Yeah man, did you ever solve that issue

can you only fly around hawaï?
you can.. there are missions, challanges, areocaches, and freeflight and also a job board
it sucks this game isnt on steam no more
We should ask for our money back
u buy a game-pad convertor..or you can buy usb controllers that plug straight into ur pc
yo tengo netbook servira?
isn't pitot heat referring to the pitot tubes and keeping them from not getting covered in ice?
I wish there were more flight sims, not because I want to play them, but because they're my favourite Giant Bomb videos.

FSX: This is awesome! Im flying from Tokyo to China! MSF: This is somewhat entertaining Im flying from one corner of an island to another.
You have to sign in with your Games for Windows (Xbox) Live account, or I believe it comes with the game. I'm not sure.
So the Maule M-7-260C Orion has a cockpit? what about the Curtiss C-46 Commando?

yeah, they will sell many airplanes with real money, but I think some of these you'll can unlock if you get certain level.
What do you fly? What N number?

So in this game you can't do actuall flights for your virtual airline and stuff?

so you cant fly to the bahamas or any other places??
i was wondering if i should download this on the pc?
You press E to get out, you can do it anywhere as long as you are not moving.
I dont get it.... I played the first missions, but it doesnt save it. and when i log in, i need some sort of key? someone help me plz....
is the vans rv-6a plane in the free version
I enjoy these simulator vids you guys make.
Is this game really good (Im not talking about grapichs, Im talking about simulation and features), Cause I'm a little low at my HD Space, so I'll have to unistall my FSX to install it, does it really worth, is there any Lessons and things like in FSX?
did you update your drivers, are your specs sufficient for the game? did you run it as admin? what windows have you got?
i would get FSX instead of this but i cant because i already own it and i cant find all the discs to it plus its not on steam so i cant put in my product key and download it
Did you leave a comment on the wrong video? He mentions several times that there are different types of camera modes. In fact, he goes through them several times as well.
janes is getting back into it, they have a new simulation out that is 50 times as more arcady
how do you get all these planes?
@DanceLikeANitwit It also doesn't suit the "quick looK" descriptor. I think you're looking too deep into it.
If you have the product key, get the install from Pirate Bay. Then you won't have to worry about saving disks. I just reinstalled FSX recently from a downloaded ISO. Was much faster than the discs.
Can I still buy the in game DLC from the in game store?
ok thanks and another question how do you get the biplane
Flight 420? Cool video, nice night flight during the mission (exept for ditching in the ocean!
u can turn the whole aircraft off by turning the nob for the ignition for the engines
You can paint any aircraft the way you want it in FSX.
can i play this with a mouse and keyboard plzz reply
This game have jumbo plane..? like the a380 or Boeing 747...?
is this game easy to play with a keyboard and mouse
I have FSX but im definitely about to download this.. looks really fun.
Check out Prepar3d flight sim its the old FSX code aquired from microsoft by Lockheed.Its the old FSX code and lockheed have tweeked it abit to get better FPS.Most of the FSX addons work with it no probs
Is this better then FSX? Please reply guys,and one more question,Can I play this on max settings with the cheappest alienware aurora r4? Thanks and once more please reply.
can you fly with mouse also?
do you know a site where i can download microsoft flight simulator X?
i thought ms flight wasn't out yet, isn't it in beta?
you should play straight up arma operation arrowhead, with editor and you can fly anything from mv22 ospreys to mi 8 helis to a10 warthogs and you can spawn in whoever you wanna fight in your aircraft
I wish Microsoft would revive this game. It's 10x better than FSX when it comes to Hawaii and Alaska, but we really need this to be revived!
+Techi dove tail games is reviving it, dovetail flight school is coming out on the 24th of may through steam
420apache657
Flight school is probably going to be a rather limited flight sim, but we'll see.
You wish is fulfilled in 2020,👍🏻
@@badbeastplayz6013 I forgot about this comment, but man is MSFS 2020 awesome :))))))
@@Techiastronamo yep
That beach with the kayaker kinda looked like the Silent Cartagropher level in Halo 1.
where can you download this?
And where does it say it's a simulator? is there "simulator" in the game title?
this is in xbox360?
what's it on?
hey i tryed downloading this game 3 times and it kept saying it failed, wtf???
What are your System Specs?
where can i download this game?
no it a full version the only thing you need is the DLC
can you go in 3rd person
would it work on windows 7 or xp plz reply?
Exactly. Without the freeware I don't think FSX would even be that playable visually.
It's not a direct simulator, but it does walk you through flying.
I haven't played it yet. Is it really that bad? Should I stay with FSX?
Do you have the fsx
HOW have I watched 42 minutes of this already? It's strangely entrancing.
How I Going To Download Hawaipack?
That kayaker at around 18:00 is totally the same VA as Yosuke from Persona 4.
hey, is there a free flight sim where you can fly planes that are for the airline like jet blue and stuff like that? Dont really wanna pay lol
Does This work with Vista?
or do loopings, or race against a friend, or do jobs in-game, or get achievements, or try land in a florest, etc.
It may not say simulator but when a studio which produces the most critically acclaimed flight simulator in the public market you expect something similar to good.
do you use joystick for this?
are u able to crash on this game?
is this for xbox 360
how to sign in microsoft live
get parallels and you can play it on your mac, its what i do
Oh, sorry. My mistake. I'd like to get MS Flight at some point. Pretty soon I'm going to start saving up for a PC that hopefully will be able to run it.
you can fly people for burgers and deliver cargo & people as well ads fly people on tours
No DayZ standalone will use the Real Virtuality 3 engine the same engine as Take On Helicopters, Microsoft Flight uses some custom unrelated engine.
Is free in "STEAM"
as to the graphics part, utx, gex, fs global and rex(have to pay for this one however) and u get ultra-realistic graphics. now only if u have all those cockpit things, and a 3D and that's it lol.
i dont care if this is a flight simulator it steal seems like one the most realistic flight games i have ever seen
could you please tell me what are your pc specs? its just cause it runs extremely smooth on your pc... =S
I can really see the ideas for this game used in a new FS game ( not free 2 play)
This is a totally different genre than FSX. I like both for different reasons.
they will add airplanes gradually. like MMOs in release time.
fsx????
well did you buy the hawaii just download the free thing
did you not hear him say you can turn all that stuff off?
