 It seems in your haste to beat the download launch time YOU may have caused problems. Why folk cannot just wait beats me..

Uh, no. The early installers exposed a bug that should only have appeared on the European DVD-based version of the game and not the download version of the game. Therefore those of you who will be getting the game tomorrow are LESS likely to have issues BECAUSE OF US!

Those of you who don't like what we did should leave this thread and go back to watching Matlock reruns.

To my fellow citizens of Kiribati: We now have a flag. Fly it proudly!

Thanks. Although I have anointed myself El Presidente for life, I (or rather my installation of Windows 10) will be leaving my beloved island nation at midnight Mountain Standard Time.

Lottsa people must have just moved to Kiribati.......

There are enough planes right now over some airports, its like that saucer arrival scene from close Encounters...........

 

Thanks for showing that home movie of my arrival here on earth. I was very nervous that day but  once I discovered FSX and flight simming I felt right at home because all of us here are just a few power cells short and operate with a very dim light.

I'm a proud Kirbatian and will sue Microsoft for discrimination if they try to ban me for my location.

In that case - quick and without checking Google - what is the full name of the airport?

What is the official language there?

The main language is Gilbertese, although most folks do speak a somewhat unique version of English.

Bonriki is located on Tarawa, Kiribati (which is the "Capital" of the nation, but is only served by two 'domestic' airlines. To travel anywhere "international" once is forced to fly to Kiritimati, Kiribati to reach...

The main airport on Kiritimati island, which sports the same type of improbable and pretentious name as the Gary/Chicago International Airport (KGYY):

CNN is reporting that an unexpected large gathering of people at the airport on Kiribati has caused a misbalance and Kiribati has just capsized and sunk.

Your talent is a gift from God. How you use your talent is your gift back to God.

So, are we gonna have a mass multiplayer Fly-In to Kiribati this weekend, or what???!!

I'm thinking that Cessna Citation Longitude could get me there in style.  🙂

I personally am thankful for the mass exodus to Kiribati. It means the overload at midnight tonight (for me as I've been informed that my attempts to join the exile would be fruitless) will be that much less of a burden. It's a drop in the bucket, but I suspect every drop will help. So, carry on proud Kiribati people!

Am I the only one who didn't exercise the Kiribati Option who feels like he's been left out of a very special exclusive club? <hangs head in shame>

I didn’t either. Four and a half hours left!

I'm trying to distract myself with other "busy" work, but it's just not doing the job....
