EHM-0654 Murray:
Well, I've got a paid-for Gamespot account, and as such the benefit of the high-speed download servers, so I may well be in a position to seed it too... ;D
It was for all them others that I was thinking...

FSX Release date:
3 October...... North America - Europe ??? October.
And what about the selling price, and Microsoft hasn’t giving any clue about system requirements.
System requirements read this Flightsim.com

Whow to download demos aagghhhh..*$#~*…
Any FS user is part off the marketing strategies off Microsoft, a promotion movie shows only the best things off FSX and says nothing over the system requirements.
So conclusion think before you buy, or better wait till nov/dec and watch the preview/experience from first time buyers
(But those first time buyers are mostly users off high performance systems who can spend a lot off money.)
For my own system it’s upgrading on 15 aug. to
Asus P5HW DH de Luxe with Intel Core-2 Duo E6700 and 2Gb-ddr2-6400/1000 Ram and
ATI X1800 Silent video with 256Mb ddr3. (It’s a compromise).
Also a silent CPU cooler and silent PSU 550W
I’m also think to buy 2 new harddrives 200GB/10000rpm in Raid configuration its 50% faster drive access.
But I wait to end 2006 begin 2007 to buy FSX.
Game Over? Core 2 Duo Knocks Out Athlon 64

Well, here in the UK the RRP (recommended retail price) for the two versions are:-
Standard - 49.99UKP
Deluxe - 59.99UKP
I'll hold my tongue for now with regard the rest of your post. Suffice to say, I've been following certain reviewers with regards FSX, and those reviewers that have seen Beta 2 (which I am pretty sure is what will be released tonight) say it is a whole lot smoother than Beta 1 (as seen at Comdex et. al.), and that's on current hardware under XP. Me, I shall see once it downloads to home tomorrow.

Ok I have just started downloading it. Looks like it could take a while though. A transfer rate of around 5kb/sec so it should take 35-40 hours! Thats a long wait. Hope it's worth it!
EHM-1703 Philip:
LOL Tom, well I have come in to work late (due to having no internet at my new home yet) to set my laptop downloading. As a paid up member I am getting 80k a second so should have it a bit quicker. There will be hundreds of torrents files by tomorrow morning so I wouldnt worry about having to wait 40 hours for it!
