Will those who managed to get the Beta version of FSX bother to BUY the program?'Hand on the heart' answers only please?

Simple answer, heck yes!!!!!!!!.

Of course I will!I have already booked a copy of the DeLuxe version!Besides, I will gladly pay to get rid of the time limit, which I really don't like! I still can't see the point here!I look forward to fly without thinking about saving every 30 minutes!Haraldh F.

Pre ordered deluxe version a few weeks ago. :)

>Will those who managed to get the Beta version of FSX bother>to BUY the program?>>'Hand on the heart' answers only please?Of course I will. A) I love it. I can't imagine not supporting the ACES team and recognizing their work. :( Full version is called that for a reason. There's still a few bugs like texture tearing at times when on the ground at an airport, little things like that.But the biggest thing is the full SDK, I know that it's pretty close in the beta, but I want the latest up to date info and I want the updates as they come out.Plus, I've got a line of old FS boxes on my shelf, and I want FSX to go next to it.

This question has never even been one that's crossed my mind. For me, it has NOTHING to do whether I have the beta or if I'm able to get the full released program for free. I will ALWAYS support Flight Simulator which requires us to purchase their released work. I owe a large part of my computer interest to my thoughts of wishing to be able to fly at home for the last 30 years. It all started when I was programming a Flight Simulator when the Commodore Vic-20 arrived on the scene. I find that Microsoft Flight Simulator keeps making that vision one step closer with each release and hope it continues well into the future which requires REAL money.

Like many others, I own the beta and already have FSX deluxe on back order.

AFAIK, Microsoft builds in a drop dead date to the beta and it will not function after that date without outside intervention ( hackers ).That said, since they have departed from the usual beta routine, it's anyone's guess - I go for the drop dead date.VicVisit the Virtual Pilot's Centerwww.flightadventures.comhttp://www.hifisim.com/Active Sky V6 Proud SupporterRadar Contact Supporter: http://www.jdtllc.com/

I have not even looked at the demo or the beta. I want the surprise to be the real deal.As for me, aside from just wanting it, I feel that it is also a responsibility of mine to buy the product, just to help keep this great hobby alive for another 25 years. Ditto that for FS Navigator as it adds a huge amount of enjoyment to the game !Bob (Las Cruces, NM)

Are you kidding? Of COURSE I'll be purchasing it! I don't know of any self-respecting simulator fan who would choose the beta over the final.The beta, while a nice representation of the product, is riddled with bugs and issues. It was great to play with it in testing and such, but isn't nicely polished like the final will be. I don't have it backordered, but I will be picking it up retail. :)Greg

I'm with Bob. Took the demo off because it wasn't representative of the real FSX release and will gladly wait for the final version. Can't see what was gained by releasing a bug-ridden, non-representative sample to the public at large, when all it created was hysteria and confusion. I reckon it will take a year or more to get stable, accurate assessments of hardware requirements. Allcott

Since the beta will completely cease to function sometime next month, it would be rather pointless to not buy a full, working copy... ;)

Yes. I'm still buying the finished product for 2 reasons.1. To support Microsoft's efforts. If knowone bought it, they wouldn't have any motivation to make it. As long as it's a big seller, they should continue future versions.2. The finished product should be more finished than the beta. Glitches fixed, tweaks, etc.

what is this beta FSX im hearing about is it the same as the demo.Thanks.......................Robert
