Quick Look: Microsoft Flight

They've dumbed down the whole game and made it feel arcadey. It's a far departure from the Flight Sims we used to know, and it's a disappointment. :(

So pumped

Yes.

Another one of those.

This just made my day. More Dave Please.

Wow that's fast! I asked Drew to consider MS Flight for their next Flight Club QL and here it is already :)

Man, these are so good. This is why I love Giant Bomb.

I'd like to see they guys continue their flight sim theme and take a crack at the most recent version of X-Plane next.

More Dave and Drew tag team? Sirs, you spoil us!

NO DORKS ALLOWED

Look at all those vowels!

Flight is not a proper flightsim, sadly. Almost no brain required, a monkey could take off and land.

Oh, and no TrackIR support?

No Dorks Allowed, mother-effers!

These flightsim videos are some of the funniest videos on the site! :D

Keep 'em coming!

@Slay3r1583: I myself would love to see Drew tackle XPlane.

I've got my jumpsuit on, lets do this.

No Dorks Allowed!

Flight Club is a great name.

Excellent! Something I can watch when I get out of work. Loving the flight sim stuff you guys!

posted early? what is this?

Dave+Drew+Vinny=Great vid ^_^

@paisan13: I have loved ever QL they do, and I wanna see more!!!!!!

Two corrections for the first minute of the video.

1) The last one was "Flight Simulator X".

2) They were not "flight sim games", they were just flight sims. This one on the other hand is a flight game.

Have you tried it without the assists on?

It that it? Have they now covered all 10 flight sims in existence?

Where is my Giant Bomb Flight Club tshirt?

This looks cool. As someone who has never played a flight-sim before, I think i'll give this a whirl.

Flight club videos are the best!

Under the bridge was awesome!

This actually looks like something i would play, i think the Hawaii setting is fantastic.

DAT BRIDGE. I actually yelled in triumph when they flew under it. My face lit up and I fist-pumped like a fucking nerd. Then, gloriously they crashed--encapsulates the Giant Bomb way perfectly.

That was hella fun. Love the Dave/Vinny/Drew team.

Edit: Haaaaaahahaha. The second crash. Awesome.

you can probably use PPJoy to integrate TrackIR functionality to this game.

I played it a bit last night and I was hella bored. I know it is a Flight Sim and all but damn, there just didn't seem much to it.

I am LOVING this combination of quick lookers (GBFC). I loved flight sims back in the day, but no longer have a compatible flight stick for them. Might get one because of these guys. You all should do Random PC Game: Any one of the Star Wars Flight Sims (Preferably X-Wing Alliance or X vs. Tie.

Man Vinny is like the evil tiny guy who sits on your should and whisps bad ideas into your ear.

RPG elements? In a flight game? I love RPGs, but come on guys, this is getting silly. What happened to the thrill of progression through increase in skill? Does everything need to be abstracted?

God fucking damn it Dave you had an awesome moment flying under the bridge then ruined it immediately! :D

Getting closer and closer to flying cars.

Wait, did they bring you out of the cutscene flying right at the water? That is really not cool, lol.

Vinny at 48:00 makes this Quick Look.

this is definitely the superior Ql today. eat your heart out, ME3

The crash after Dave flew under the bridge was great. Hey look, the water is solid. The second crash was even better because the camera changed position and Dave thought it was going to end and instead it went back into his plane mere feet from crashing.

And to join Flight Club you must perform a Crazy Snider.

At this point, I see no reason a veteran flight sim fan would want this. I really enjoyed FSX and played a ton of it. Obviously a plethora of features have been very watered-down or removed. Doesn't look much better graphically. The free to play model is interesting, but for 2-3 times the cost of Hawaii you already had the entire WORLD at your fingertips in FSX (not to mention a hell of a lot more planes than 4). Albeit some of the world wasn't very detailed (only so much you can do with thousands of airports), but much of it still looked great. This one may be fine for casual gamers, but FSX appealled to both sides.

Agreed. This is officially my favorite team. But it doesn't hurt that Vinny could make 30 minutes staring at a tin can hilarious and incredibly interesting.

Holy shit, that second crash. I was thinking "man, this cut scene is sending him directly--oh christ!" 

I hope Dave is kidding about planes being invented before electricity... :P

Unless he he talking pre Wright Brothers.. which wouldnt really count, if we do count it then we gotta count Lightning as first electricity... which will pre-date planes by a few billion years hehe. Electricity has almost 100 years on planes.

I wonder how nice a flight sim using Frostbite 2 would look?

love Dave, Drew and Vinny sim vids! keep'em coming!

Giant Bomb Flight Club forever!

eat ham sandwiches and go flying on sundays

Giant Bomb Flight Club needs a Club Emblem? ... and an official Club Member List?! Preferably secret. Cuz, the first rule of the Flight Club ...
