Leaked screenshot of Microsoft FLIGHT
Apparently this is a leaked screenshot of Microsoft FLIGHT. It was uploaded by error and then quickly removed. The detail is incredible and the lighting is great. Some people suspect it’s fake. I think this is genuine and part of the marketing plan.

Join the forum discussion on this post Your Forum is now open
It took some time to do it properly but now the community forum is finally ready. This is something that has been requested very early on by some of you but I needed time in order to implement it seamlessly with this blog. Many forum softwares work independently from the structure of the main website forcing you to have two different registrations, one for the blog and one for forum. This would look very disconnected so I searched for other solutions and I eventually opted for SimplePress, a great open source plugin completely integrated with WordPress. One login to rule them all.
This means that you will be able to use the same account to comment the blog posts or write in the forum. You can register and login from the forum interface, from the wordpress login or from the login box in the right sidebar of the blog page. They all point to the same database and they are equivalent.
Everything seems to work pretty well but feel free to contact me if you are having technical problems or if you have suggestions to improve things (design, features, forum topics, etc). Everyone is invited to join, I believe in free speech and I will not censor any opinion you might have, even when I disagree. As you probably already know, I'm not a big fan of strict moderation and this forum will always be open to your ideas. This is a community forum and we will make it better together.
Join the forum discussion on this post Cleared-To-Engage turns one!
It’s hard to believe, but this website is turning one today! It was officially launched one year ago on 5th July 2010. Many things changed since that first post (graphical layout, wordpress updates, database upgrades, third-party plugins, twitter integration) and many more will change in the future!
There is always room for improvement and I am committed to make this website even better and more accessible. Thanks for your e-mails, links, comments and suggestions. The simulation genre is not dead. Here are some stats to prove that.
37,483 = Visitors since launch
4,619 = Blocked spam
441 = Comments
114 = Blog posts

Author
My name is Giorgio Bertolone, I am the author and webmaster of this website. I work in the Visual Effects industry and I live in Vancouver with my wonderful wife and three adorable kids.
Since young age I had only two interests, computers and aviation. The first one became my job and the second one became one of my biggest passions.
At one point, I decided to put the two things together. The result was flight simulation. And this website was born.
