Microsoft released a new flight simulator titled ''[[Microsoft Flight]]'' in February 2012. Developed by [[The Coalition (company)|The Coalition]] (as Microsoft Game Studios Vancouver), it was not part of the ''Microsoft Flight Simulator'' series, but instead was designed to replace it and aimed at drawing new users into flight gaming. While claiming to be simpler to use for inexperienced users, it is incompatible with ''Flight Simulator'' and does not allow the use of existing ''Flight Simulator'' add-ons (including aircraft, objects, and photographic scenery).

The game was "[[pay to play]]", as only the single island of Hawai'i and one aircraft was available without buying downloadable content. On July 26, 2012, Microsoft cancelled further development of ''Flight''.<ref>{{cite web |last=Kersey |first=Ben |date=July 26, 2012 |title=Microsoft cancels Flight and Project Columbia development |url=http://www.slashgear.com/microsoft-cancels-flight-and-project-columbia-development-26240324/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200808171839/https://www.slashgear.com/microsoft-cancels-flight-and-project-columbia-development-26240324/ |archive-date=August 8, 2020 |access-date=November 1, 2012 |website=Slashgear}}</ref>
