Microsoft Flight could be the re-birth of virtual aviation
13.06.11

 In 2010 Microsoft took the decision to cancel the Flight Simulator franchise, leaving all virtual pilots and airlines in limbo as to which direction to go next. Whilst FSX is still an excellent simulator, the lack of future development was a worry for our community. But we are very excited to hear of a brand new software company, set up by Microsoft, to re-launch the extremely successful Flight Simulator franchise. The first new version since FSX, will simply be called "Microsoft Flight" and is expected to be released before the end of this year. We are already developing tools and training elements with Microsoft Flight in mind.

The new title will be available on the Games for Windows - LIVE service and will bring a new perspective to the long-standing "Flight Simulator" franchise. From new game play elements and enhanced scenery and terrain to new aircraft and integrated content marketplace, it is an entirely new breed of virtual flight. The Games for Windows - LIVE platform sets the stage for all your virtual flight needs while connecting you to a global base of users, content and endless exploration. Microsoft Flight builds off its heritage of deep, immersive simulation and is redesigned to make the experience easier for virtual fliers of all interests and skills.

15.09.10

Today marks the launch of the Airbus 318-100 in the BVAir.com fleet. The aircraft is now positioned at London City airport and starts the same schedule as British Airways on the run to New York city. We advise our Euro Fleet pilot that they are eligible from today to operate the service which runs twice daily, mirroring the BA timetable. Pilots can download the Flight Simulator X model from their download page, and will also need to update their flight plans with the latest version, which includes the new route. Our timetables now reflects the new schedule, and our route map will be updated shortly.

The aircraft is configured exactly as British Airways, with 32 Club World beds in and 2-2 configuration. We have also included a Virtual Cockpit for the model. We look forward to receiving your feedback on the route and aircraft model.
