Microsoft Flight Begins Beta Selection

For fans of the old Microsoft Flight Simulator series, Flight is a new direction which brings the simulation that we like combined with the gaming aspects that gamers want. While this is a mixed bag, I’m not going to make judgment until I try it out. You can, too, by signing up for the closed beta for Flight. Remember, if you are accepted, it comes with a lot of rules:
