FSX BETA

[M.R.Maiornikov]

The worst part of this whole story is the little phrase written at the buttom of subscription options: subscribing does not quarantee participation. So for me it's a big conspiracy to get new members even thaugh they don't even have the FSX beta. But i could be wrong.

"subscription does not guarantee participation"

What does this mean? even if you are gullible enough to give them money you still might not get access to the beta?

Like I said: something stinks.

I have written some airfiles for FSX addons, I think I will tell everyone they are free, but give them to one of my friends and on one else. My friend will then also tell people they are free but charge them $15 for access to his downloads section.

I would soon be known not as someone who genuinely works hard and shares freely with other members of the community, but simply as some kind of git.

"subscription does not guarantee participation"

this justs makes it legal to not give anyone a beta program.
by the way i think the screenshots are some of the same ones other sites have. don't you thinks they would take theyre own screenshots if they have the program?
someone should alert microsoft about this

Whenever I visit sites that claim to have something I need and I am directed to pay-subscription there are usually two words spoken here, the first begins with'P'
and the second word being 'OFF'. That site is immediately removed from my browser. I do not tolerate excuses to charge money.

I just cut this from the TrackIR site. It mentions FSX Beta 2.....There is more than 1 beta?

"August 10, 2006 -- Note: We have released TrackIR drivers to the FSX beta community for FSX Beta 2. FSX when it is released will support the TrackIR with Full 6DOF.

The FSX demo that is currently out does not have support for third-party peripherals or add-ons and will not work with the TrackIR."

Well, on a normal process, there MUST BE several betas.
You normally make a first buid, then you test, and list the errors found by the beta testers.

Then you make corrections, leading to another build, and give it again to beta testers to ensure the corrections are consistent and that nothing has been forgotten.

Quite possibly Felix, I may be losing the plot these days

If it truely is a public beta why has Microsoft not let us order the DVDs as they have for other betas.

Even with cable, 17G is a rediculous download.

Vista 32 and 64 were both mailed to me by MS.

Makes me wonder about the validity of any site download.

[M.R.Maiornikov]

so does anyone have recieved the demo?

[thebrelon]

have a look at Tdragger's blog, there are some news there...

it really seems there will be a beta...soon...

so don't look for the file now, it hasn't been released yet...

I tried using my ID (had it before this) and clicked the reserve slot, and it says you will be notified if you are accepted to participate

Even when the beta is released, I wouldn't "try" to get it anyways as my system is not up to par with the sim's hardware requirements.

[Joe_D]

Yes, it seems the new BETA is "legit" after all.

Yes it is


It surprised me that they opted to use file planet however from what I learned that decision was made based on the load from MS Office beta and VISTA. They dont want their servers loaded down with the large demand the beta will cause.

If I was in charge of a company whose servers are at the brink of crashing down from an overload, then I would've done the same thing.
