Microsoft makes a return to Flight
Some of you haven’t noticed but absent from store shelves have been recent releases of the flight simulator series from Microsoft. It looks like they are back on track for making a new version. Given the leap in GPU capabilities with Physx and other features, the graphics should blow us away.
One of the casualties of last year’s layoffs at Microsoft was the Aces game studio responsible for the company’s long-running Flight Simulator game. At the time, Microsoft promised that the flight simulation franchise would continue in one form or another. This week, Redmond confirmed that it is indeed following through with a new title: Microsoft Flight. The game is in its early development stages, with an alpha version nearly ready for internal testing, according to Kevin Unangst, a senior director in Microsoft’s game unit.
