    So, I've been enjoying Flight and I felt like populating the skies with other people... but when I try to use the multiplayer it says that it's restricted from this gamercard. I'm confused. I'm silver since I will not pay for fucking online play on 360, but they seriously aren't trying to push that on a goddamn flight sim... right?

    MY MIND HURTS

    @Hurricrane: Try going to the Microsoft Flight website and "purchasing" your game. That will link it to your GamerTag

    It would be the first if it did. GFWL games are not supposed to require a gold subscription to offer online play. It's probably something to do with it not being activated for his gamertag like @jupham: said.

    True, GFWL actually did have a gold requirement but they dropped it a long time ago...I wanna say it's been at least two years.

    Yea, it should have to do with tying the game to your Gamertag.

    it is free, the issue is that the game isn't tied to your gamertag. If you download the gfwl program on your PC, login there and download microsoft flight from there, that will fix it for you.
