Microsoft's Flight Simulator has long prodded gamers to splash out on hardware upgrades and insane joysticks (http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/08/thrustmaster-shipping-hotas-warthog-flight-controller-this-month/). Like Madonna, it's reinvented itself for the 21st century as a single-named free-to-play game for those who want to zoom around the skies of Hawaii. The company will make its money by selling premium add-ons including new aircraft and "adventure packs." The game is now ready for download (at the source link) and, if it proves popular, Redmond should expect a nice gift basket from AMD (http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/15/amd-releases-radeon-hd-7750-and-7770-gpus/) andNVIDIA (http://www.engadget.com/tag/nvidia/) this Christmas.
