I recently read a review about it in a historical aviation magazine. Unfortunately,....I loaned the mag to my brother otherwise I'd scan the review for you.
Two things stand out though in my mind about it,....flights are only over Switzerland (no other country) and you're stuck with the aircraft that come with the game. The reviewer did give it a thumbs up and pointed out it's limitations. However,...I'd think it would kinda' cool flying over the Alps in a Sopwith Camel.
 
I did read the reviews about it. The aircraft themselves are beautiful; no disputing that. But there is a lot that is NOT available in this sim:

Although the sim has beautiful graphics, there isn't any AI, for example, and (as I understand it, only one set of textures - no changing seasons. And I believe only day flying? NC
 
Well, it's not really new. It's a very simple eye sim candy only. It's based on an even older RC-sim and e.g. FDE isn't really good, stall behaviour weird, wind/turbulence simulation increadible bad, weight, time of day is always the same. Trees growing in rivers etc etc etc
 
STEAM had it on sale for cheap at one time.
I picked it up, probably used it a few times, and haven't touched it in many months.
Like Mr. Stolle stated, it looks nice.
 
I would Think a Flying Vacation In Switzerland would be nice..soaring over that scenery.....I come to accept these Sims limited to one locale.Small Planes,big Country!.Any Flight over Monte Rosa in a Sopwith Camel. YIKES!!.For General Aviation Flying? Enough Space.However .For Heavy Iron?..Yes its limited...It was with this thought that I still very much enjoy "Flight"..
 
I've got it (somewhere) and did enjoy it a great deal; briefly. I can't recall why, but when I purchased it I was under the impression that it was a start point and that if it took off the flyable world and aircraft would expand.
