But on the frontpage of Fileplanet http://www.fileplanet.com/ it says "2142 Battlefield: Download and play now. Open to all Fileplanet members."Does "Fileplanet member" mean everyone who has a free account, or does it mean "Fileplanet subscribers"?

I think it just means everyone with a key, this is the second BF2142 client, therefore this 'public' client may well be public but still requires a key as used in the first client.

You can't say you read the disclaimer and then keep saying it's wrong and borderline illegal. You can't say they took your money; you gave it to them, and they are giving you the service you paid for. If you say you read the disclaimer, that should mean you understand it and accept it, so stop calling people thieves.It's like buying a ticket to a ball game on "free hat day" and it clearly states "while supplies last", and then demand your money back on the ticket because they ran out of hats. They will laugh in your face.

Stryker, who are you ranting at? It shows you replied to post #31, yet your response make no sense to post #31.If your going to rant, fine... but at least make it clear as to what your are going on about.Regards

I hit "reply" to the bottom-most topic in whatever settings I have the forum set at. I know there are different way to view the threads; in other forums you usually just post your reply at the end and that's what I did.Sorry, it was not directed at any one person, just the general attitude I've been seeing regarding the whole subscription/beta thing. It's been bugging me for some time, and after reading the first few posts of this thread I couldn't hold it in any longer. I apologize; there was nothing valuable or constructive in my post. It was my first-ever rant, and I expect it to be my last.

Hehe, you also had me thinking for a minute there. :)I view the forum in threaded mode it's easy to see the structure of responses that way.

Sorry if someone already posted this. File planet told me that FSX beta emails are done. I inquired about this last night and got a response this morning:Greetings Brannon,The emails confirming that you were accepted by Microsoft into the Flight Simulator X beta testing were sent out earlier this week. If you were not selected, we apologize for the inconvenience and hope that you will enjoy the other upcoming subscriber only betas and trials that will be forthcoming in the weeks ahead. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do for you. Regards, David Bohm, Customer Service Specialist

Thanks for that David.Now, I have to go cancel the subscription.. Like I want to beta test "Monsters Join NASCAR".:)Manny
