After the commercial failure of Flight Simulator X, Microsoft attempted in 2010 to bring a low-tech, one-size-fits-all simulator to the market: Microsofr Flight.

The public of flight simulation enthusiasts decried it as a failure because it was too arcade and not very technical, and the general public did not like it.

In July 2012, the development team was disbanded just two years after its inception.

Here are some details about "Microsoft Flight":

Accessibility

 Unlike more complex flight simulations, "Microsoft Flight" was designed to be more accessible and easier to learn, targeting a broader range of players, including those less experienced in flight simulations.

Scenarios and Environments

 The game offers a setting based on the Hawaiian archipelago, with detailed scenery and missions that include activities such as cargo transport and helicopter rescue.

Aircraft

 "Microsoft Flight" includes a selection of light aircraft and helicopters that players can pilot. These aircraft have been meticulously modeled, but the number of available aircraft is more limited compared to more comprehensive flight simulators.

Graphics

 The game features high-quality graphics with impressive visual details, making Hawaii an attractive place to explore.

Add-On Content

 Like many flight simulations, "Microsoft Flight" supported additional content, including new aircraft and scenarios, which could be purchased through the in-game marketplace.

Multiplayer Mode

 The game offered a multiplayer mode where players could fly together and participate in challenges and races.

Unfortunately, despite the initial excitement, "Microsoft Flight" had a relatively short lifespan and did not achieve the same level of popularity as previous iterations of the "Microsoft Flight Simulator" series. In 2013, Microsoft announced the discontinuation of new content development for the game, effectively ending active support. However, the "Microsoft Flight Simulator" series was revived with a highly successful new title in 2020, reigniting interest in flight simulation.
