Ya I got my beta acceptance yesterday. Pretty excited to try this out as I've always been a fan of the Microsoft Flight Sim series.
Did the first two training flights before work this morning. It's a very pretty game. Seems more "arcade-y" than the Flight Simulator series, but the options for complete immersion and realistic experience are definitely there. Considering it's going to be free, this is something to keep an eye on if you're into flight sims.
