Silly Vinny. Every PC game has custom soundtrack support, they even pandora and last.fm support and all other internet radio devices.

Oh joy! Flight sim shenanigans with Vinny/Drew/Dave makes me fuzzy inside. This actually looks pretty good.

For the record you do not need a hat to use trackIR. I use the trackclip pro they sell, which clips onto the side of a headset. Strongly recommended. 
 
Also, ffs, for all the want to fly together there sure are few here willing to commit to anything.

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. :(

Hence the lack of "simulator" in the name.

@Johnny5: Hah, that's Sand Island Access bridge. They were real lucky to be right over it though, there aren't many bridges on Oahu of that size. I thought they were gonna crash, that bridge is wicked low I don't think they even let boats under it.

When Armored Core V, Hawken, and Mechwarrior Online come out, I can think of no better crew to Quick Look them than these guys.

Brad also seems genuinely interested in all kinds of sims, would be awesome to have him there commenting, but the playing part should probably be left to Dave or Drew.

Yeah, he started talking and I almost couldn't believe it. How could Vinny not remember that voice?

Looks like a nice accessible flight sim, the invisible plane passengers are a really weird addition though. You sorta feel like they planned to do animated models for all of them and then ran out of time and money or something.

That was awesome. I might give this a try even though I typically enjoy a more simmy flight sim. Also, the ending to this video was perfect. You guys rock.

I am really a FSX guy together with PMDG planes, so Flight isn´t really for me at the moment. But I kinda like it, it´s just brainless flying without any foreknowledge required.

But you guys should really make a Quicklook of X-Plane 10. That is looking better and better and is a real hardcore Flightsim.

If this had California in it, I would buy it. Fun to fly around and explore the landscape.

Weird rewatching this, three months after Microsoft canned the servers. It could've been a contender, but MS cut off funding citing "adjusted aims" or something within weeks of this QL. Shame, I think there's good possibilities for an RPFS game (eg Disney's ancient Stunt Island.)
