As a private pilot, I was very excited to be invited to participate in the Beta testing of Microsoft Flight. What a disappointment! I played around with it a couple of times and found it to be a total disconnect with reality and a waste of time.
As other have stated both in this article and comments, anyone can play this "game" without any actual flying time. Don't expect to experience what a "real" flight is like at the controls of a plane. Even the game itself provides little excitement in my opinion.
