I'll answer my own question.
FSX was released for Beta testing May 24, 2006.
FSX was released to the US market Oct 17 2006, just under 5 months later. Suggesting a Flight release date of summer 2012. Possibly. Speculatively speaking, maybe.

Well, I think it's good news...
I applied just then, and it asked for my LIVE username, so hopefully it will be using LIVE online for connectivity. That is a system that, so far, has been working for me for about 7-8 years! Reliability at last

Posted: Sun Dec 04, 2011 10:33 pmWhy all this noise? You know very well that if any of you or whoever else chosen for beta testing discovers a whatever defect and this cannot be corrected before the date of publishing... always if it CAN be corrected, just look at FSX... the program will be published anyway uncorrected, sacrificing their customers in the name of the God $. And you can only hope that, at best, a patch (lately, in a rather bombastic mood, renamed service pack) will be scheduled for as soon as they have a little free time. :-?
In a way one could say the real beta testing is made by the first buyers of the thing, who, rather disappointed (and I cannot see why, since they should know that among humans history WANTS to repeats itself, especially the bad parts of it), will make noise and push for said patch to be produced.
And before ANY OF YOU starts calling me defeatist, please look back to the story of all M$ software and please tell me WHERE I am wrong in this estimation.

Posted: Sun Dec 04, 2011 10:42 pmYou have some serious problems with Microsoft. I honestly don't understand why you are still here if you hate their products so much?
