Microsoft Flight
What is Microsoft Flight?
Microsoft Flight is a flight simulation game from Microsoft Studios created as a successor to the discontinued Microsoft Flight Simulator series. The simulation game is offered "free-to-play"; charging gamers for downloading extra content, aircraft or scenery. The core game, which includes the Icon A5 aircraft and the Big Island of Hawaii scenery area, is free to download from the game's website. It can then be expanded with additional downloadable content (DLC) from the integrated Games For Windows Marketplace.
