I think MS should have held the release a bit longer to polish it. Menus can be clunky but they do work, what bugs me more is things like World Map search doesn’t always work, sometimes you can’t assign a departure/arrival/waypoint marker, there’s no detail (that I can see) which advises whether your chosen plane is suitable for the runway/airfield, the World Updates only download in-game and more… Then a biggy, launched London last night to do a bit of sightseeing, no data rendered, buildings were generic blank boxes (apart from a few landmarks probably due to downloading the UK World Update), I thought it was an issue with the World Update data but then after 10mins the landscape began to update so I think it was an issue with their servers providing the data.
When it works it’s a really fun game to play with friends. Prawn, @JayFantana and I were taking in the sights last night. We asked where Prawn wanted to visit first and the first thing that came to his mind was the giant penis chalk drawing (Cerne Giant) and the pyramids second. Still experienced game crashes throughout though.
