I probaly should look around the forums better. Oh, well. It's a hot topic.

Indeed it is!

This may sound funny but I don't want the demo of FSX. I think I'll wait for the full version. I want to experience the full effect of the new program. I may even wait to run FSX on the new computer that I'm planning on buying next year. I want to see FSX in it's full glory. 🙂

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! YAY I DONT HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS!!!! I CAN"T WAIT TILL IT COMES OUT!!!!! I WANT IT NOW!!!

I can only find one other post about it

can you only get it at Gamespot, or are there other places? Also if Gamespot is the only one, do you have to be a member?

Thanks

CRJCapt, I fully agree with you -- no sense enjoying a spectacular product halfway, is there? I don't know, however, if I'm actually going to buy it when it does come out. What I may do is stick with FS9 for a while, wait for all of the members to give in their opinions, and tell us which systems are good, and which are bad, and in the end, I may have enough money to actually purchase it, and a sound computer 😉

The demo will feature the location of St. Maarten in the Caribbean and include 2 airports and 3 missions of progressing difficulty.

I think you have the right idea.

So, who will be the first among us to post a screenshot from the demo?

Who will be the first to have FSX crash to desktop.

😂 😂 😂

It should be up for download around 00:00 BST/19:00ET.

If you want this game to run your going to need a high spec computer!!!

Experience flying like never before!
Jump into the cockpit and get ready for the Flight Simulator X single-player demo! Whether you are a first time flyer or an experienced pilot, you'll be able to choose from three different missions to test your aviation skills. Explore the Caribbean islands in a Beaver float plane or take on a mission dropping sacks of flour from an ultralight glider and experience flying like never before!

Dropping sacks of flour from an ultralight glider...as real as it gets? I wonder how many lines of code were wasted on that alleged feature. 🙄

They told me its coming out in late Sep early Oct. There will be standard and deluxe versions. Deluxe is the same but with better textures and it has a program to create all the planes scenery and so on. Standard $50, deluxe $70. Not to bad.---------------Corrections by CC

Solotwo how fast is you line?

Cable something or another.

But I paid 6 bucks for the premium account.

Nearing 5% now.

if your on anything over 1 mb, tell them you want your money back.

Oh, this is weird...it acted like it already downloaded and I hit the "Run" button and an error message came up....then I tried to download it again and the run button came on again and i pressed it and the error came on. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Help, what do i frickin click on to download it???
I'm lost

Well I'm sure the servers are packed to begin with, and its better then waiting 20hours when I'm leaving tomorrow morning for a week. And 6 bucks isn't anything.

I canceled the download. It said taht it would take 20hr45min to complete the download. I'll wait a while to download it

www.fileplanet.com has it now but you have to wiat in line for 37 mins...

mines dling now at 400kbps ish 😀 fileplanet subscriber FTW

pcgameworld.com has it with A LOT of mirrors with high speed, im downloading at 1meg FTW who said the fileplanet subcriber

By

ure right., 956kbps im getting.. shame its 304 mb demo ?? thort it was 600 +

Uhm, It's because it is not a .zip like the gamespot or fileplanet one, this is the .exe.

Pcgameworld always has proper working demo's at great speed of download.

Me FTW 🙂

2 mins 2 go

Don't be idiots, always on pcgameworld.com when a demo is this new, you have to wait until the entire file size is loaded on the gwn. servers.

If it says 200 megs or so, then obviously their not done uploading the files for the demo. Give it a few more minutes.

Started 10 minutes ago...im @ 22% done

is anyone elses going this fasT?

i was on gamespot but it wouldnt work so i went to pcgame..something
