Maybe I have misunderstood the question originally posed...But i thought it had the meaning ofdid you like the beta, were you impressed with it....will you buy fsxNot....will we somehow hack it and keep the beta???I have to say i once made the mistake of bta testing a piece of fs addon that went payware. I duly went out and bought it....only to find all the bugs were still present and nothing of what we had said had been implemented in the final version.For that reason....I stayed well away from beta and demos of fsx.....but will of course be out there in october at the shops!!!

>Since the beta will completely cease to function>sometime next month,Hopefully after the 17th. :-)

Absolutely! Even built a whole new rig to run it.FSX offers much more than FS9 IMO. I have been incredibly impressed thus far and cant wait to see how much better it gets with DX10!Brew

Of coarse I plan to buy it even though I have the beta. I already got a copy of the Deluxe version reserved at my local EB Games. I feel its pretty important to support the franchise. In fact I am just as excited as if never getting the beta because I am curious what changes were made. Tuesday October 17th is my day off so I plan to get up and eat breakfast and then drive to game store first thing when they open. I am sure the beta has a time bomb in it. It might not expire as soon as the release but I bet it will before the end of the year. Plus who really wants to continue playing the older build when a much newer build is available?

Hi,No, it's not the same as the demo. It is the same build, but includes all the scenery and aircraft. Only paying subscribers of fileplanet.com are able to download it. Look further down in this forum for the download link if you are a member. Without a beta key (all long gone) it is also limited to 30 minutes.Hope this helps,--Tom GibsonCal Classic Propliner Page: http://www.calclassic.comFreeflight Design Shop: http://www.freeflightdesign.comDrop by! ___x_x_(")_x_x___
