October 13, 200619 yr Well just for those that might have missed it - FSX was released in the UK. In fact, it's everywhere !!Asda (Walmart) / Tesco / GAME / PC WorldThe supermarkets seem to be only stocking basic version though...Got my 'Deluxe' copy half hour ago at GAME !!ACES - No-one would release early you'll be glad to know, god knwos, i tried....LOLThough typical rip off Britain though.... i paid
October 13, 200619 yr You're welcome. I'm glad you picked it up. I was just in the UK a couple weeks ago doing a press event for the launch. I had a great time. It was held at Cabair flight school north of London (http://www.cabairflyingschools.com/elstree.htm) and we had a special guest--Les Ferdinand--who plays FS and owns/flies his own R-44. (Well, actually he just sold it and it looking at an A-Star.)After demos and interviews all the journalists got some real stick time in PA28's. I tagged along and got to add my first European entry to my log book: EGTR to EGLD. Very fun, except for the 30kt winds that day--brought the ground speed down to that of my beloved J-3! ;)
October 13, 200619 yr Mike, any reason FSX was released first in Europe than here in the USA like previous releases ? Just curious ! Carlos Carlos F Rodriguez

Carlos Because we're worth it! :DGot my Copy a little early ;) and I must say I like it a lot, Looking forward to an upgraded PC early next year and getting the best out of FSX!
October 13, 200619 yr Mike - Elstree is down the road from me, I could have come and said hello..;_)As for Les Ferdinand..good to hear he's an FS fan, wonder if he visits any of the forums..(proof that some footballers do have brains).And as for my copy of FSX, well I just had an email from CD-WOW.com saying they are waiting for stock and and they hope to dispatch on the 16th..!!!!!!!!!!!!!Had I known that I'd have bought it from a shop..I was so looking forward to an FSX weekender...:-mad Steve Steve Smith i7-2600K - GTX580 - 8GB ram
October 13, 200619 yr Hi, did you pay more for the quick delivery? I also pre-ordered from Amazon and its still not herex(
October 13, 200619 yr I also got mine today via Amazon and first class delivery. Just installing now - it's taken a while to uninstall the beta version and demo and Windows also decided that today would be a good day to install 15 updates!I guess Amazon have dispached on a first ordered, first dispached basis so some may not get theirs until tomorrow.

October 13, 200619 yr Hi Mike,Glad you enjoyed the UK and thanks for taking the time to reply.I took a helicopter sightseeing tour with Cabair about 5 years ago over the City of London. Fantastic !!Have to say it's thanks to you guys that i've finally taken the first steps to my PPL. Started just a few months ago. I'm learning in a PA28 Tomahawk. Will be up tomorrow morning at my local field ...Hawarden (weather permitting). It's a great airport - lots to see, especially as it's also home to the Airbus A380 wings factory and Raytheon corporate jet maintenance department. Lots of unrestricted airspace too which is a bonus.Been messing with your simulators now since FS98.Great to have you participating in the forums BTW. I love the program. Just had a cheeky look at FSX and it works well on my system. Looking forward to cranking the sliders up as the technology develops. But for now - a very happy customer indeed !! Thanks and Best Regards :-beerchug Eddy NicholNorth Wales - UK
October 13, 200619 yr Glad you guys got your FSX. Why is the USA and Australia getting such a late release date?
