My plan:

Friday - Visit the bank and pay off my mortgage, leaving me totally debt-free, allowing for all my funds to pay for MSFS add-ons!

Saturday - Make the last few flights in P3D.

Sunday - De-commission the P3D PC and place it in exile in the storage cupboard with all the other old PCs and their simulators that I'll never fly again (don't know why I've never got round to sending them to the computer recycling centre).

Monday - Set up the new MSFS PC and the other new toys I've bought for it. At midnight, press the big button and wait for fulfilment - could take a while....! 

Tuesday - Spend the entire day exploring the whole new flight simulator world :-)

You are cutting it a bit short by setting up your new pc on monday. I would definately do that ASAP. You never know what could go wrong 😉 

Add another day to download it. :ducks:  

Yeah I would hit that power button on the Brand New PC, ASAP. And hook everything up to make sure it works, all the toys and such! BTW, I'll meet you at the bank Friday to take your mortgage payment 🙂

I think I will wait for the first major patch after launch.

I need to chase up my bulk order of popcorn.....

Countdown:

There is a possibility that you will be spending the day on Avsim waiting for the game to download and install.

Spending this last few days gets 100 times better when you press the button on this page every few minutes:

Not sure if this was only meant as tongue in cheek but if you were serious then congrats, man!

Ok, now let me share something totally uninteresting with you, but this is how I plan:

• Monday at 1800: Eat, rest, enjoy avsim, watch youtube
• 18.01: test to see if I can download the sim
• 21.00: Say hello and goodbye to all my friends
• 21.30: (I dont have many friends) Test to see if I can download the sim
• 22.00: Test again
• 22.30: Continously trying to download the sim
• 23.01: Download finally started! Heart racing! 
• 23.02: Heart sinking. Download speed at 500kbps...
• 02.30: Download completed after restarting 3 times
• 02.31: I hear that fantastic FS music as the intro starts to play. Goose bumps! 
• Taking the day off work, and doing an all-nighter in MSFS
• 16.00: oh so tired, want to sleep, but I MUST see that city over there oh my gawd..! Look at that!!

Imagine the horror if he presses the start button on his new PC, and absolutely nothing happens!

I have taken precautions, Christopher, and powered it up and done the pre-order download. Just need to move it into its position in the sim-pit and connect the rudder pedals and yoke (which is un-boxed but still has the plastic wrap on). I think, at worst, might just have to fly with keyboard and mouse. Well, worst could be that MSFS fails to install!

Save half an hour - group text. Or just put hello and goodbye on your social media platform of choice!😄
