Okay, first iirc Microsoft flight was not marketed as a "simulator." I don't remember exactly how it was described, but I believe it amounted to basically being a simcade. Which is basically what it was. Also, it seems like they dropped some planes from what you could play for free. I do remember flying a cessna in that game. I think this is an even further watered down "trial" version. Although why a f2p game would have a trial version is beyond me. Maybe this is the beta version or something. Anyway, from what I recall with a lot of the free content that wasn't removed, there was some trouble with being talked down to, as you mentioned. The missions were actually pretty fun, but there were a lot more than you got to see it seems. There was one where there was a hint and you had to figure out where certain (Geocaches I think they were referred to as? Not sure) things were, it was a lot like The Crew 2 lootboxes in freedrive. There were passenger missions where you had to fly a certain way to satisfy your passenger, usually smoothly or they would be unsatisfied (or there was one with live cargo, but idr whether you had to pay for that one). Goldrush missions were a thing, and those were basically missions where you had rings by windmills and you had to get the rings without hitting the windmill blades. The missions were actually fun, and many of them free. For some reason this version seems to have removed almost all of even the free ones. But there was a lot bad about it. Many of the Geocache missions required a P-51 or more powerful (if there were any more powerful, idr), or they couldn't be reached due to their altitude, and the P-51 you did have to pay for. One island on Hawaii got pretty boring, especially when you could fly the world in FSX. Characters were often annoying. Overall there wasn't a lot there, and too much of even that was locked behind a paywall, either directly or in the case of geocache missions indirectly by not providing the player with powerful enough planes to reach them. Overall it was a bad game with missions that in themselves were fun. I really hope we see more scenarios in FS2020 that are similar to what this game had. I actually rather liked the passenger missions that would force you to either limit g-forces and fly smoothly, or I think there was an adrenaline junkie one where they wanted you to fly high and wild or they would get bored. Aerial obstacle courses should make a comeback, that was fun. Geocaching was especially fun with friends, as you all look for something and then when someone gets close you try to triangulate where it is. But business model was awful, and didn't offer hardly anything in terms of variety. One thing that I think would have gone a long way would have been to be more upfront with what is locked behind a paywall instead of trying to frustrate the player into paying more, more area, and really this game just did not work well in a F2P setup. It just cost too much to make a very small amount of space as pretty as possible instead of doing what MS2020 is doing and have a large upfront payment and really work on it. Further, more multiplayer options would have helped. Mostly multiplayer was fly around, maybe talk about or help each other with missions but you couldn't really do anything versus, and co-op was just coaching each other through. And, again, more space. That was where they lost a huge chunk of their playerbase.

It failed because MS totally misjudged the market. Fortunately they recognized that fact almost instantly and killed it before it even really got a decent start. Further, all of the reviews within the FS community were beyond HORRIBLE and blogs were burning it at the stake. Their intent was to create an ongoing revenue stream by constantly adding on to it. That was the new failed trend in gaming in general at the time. Version one only included a tiny part of the world which was intended to get you "hooked". But the FS enthusiasts would have none of that. Interestingly they took a totally different approach with MSFS2020. This is why they returned to the "buy the product in it's totality", and just use it, approach while at the same time incorporating it into their "Game Pass" system for those types of less committed gamers. They had obviously leaned a very bitter lesson. Let's face it. It was a total piece of crap. I was one of it's very disappointed victims.

If you want payware addons, you can buy PMDG, A2A, Flytampa etc. Physics are kinda bad, you can do loop in a 747, so if you want something realistic, you should buy X-Plane 11, *but if you want to just fly with tons of freeware addons you should buy FSX:SE*
