dave2k2005 · 5 Aug 2006 at 00:09

Hey guys,
Just read that the Flight Simulator X beta is about to start in a few days, and you can sign up for it now. Sadly, this is only for Fileplanet Subscribers

But your not guaranteed a place, but a heads-up to any subscribers, sign up now, we want your screenshots of it! Also, this may mean an open beta may come out

Yeah I have applied for it, so fingers crossed.

Charlie Bravo · 5 Aug 2006 at 15:14

It probably won't be much better than the previous offerings anyway. I won't be rushing out to buy it.

You can now pre-order FSX from various e-tailers. Prices I'm seeing are around £45.99. The projected release is 27th October.

It actually looks pretty good visually and they've included missions this time round

same here, i think they should have also asked

what peripherals do you own?

and

how many mods do you have for stated games?

and

how much time do you spend playing flight sims?

i hope all who apply from OCUK get through, i personally cant wait for it.

Looking forward to this, might have to buy a decent joystick after I sold my x52.

Any suggestions for *cheap* but decent sticks?

Edit: I have signed up already

i have a logitch gorce 3d pro but cyborg pro evos are meant to be good too.

Trifid · 5 Aug 2006 at 19:47

I like my Logitech force 3d Pro, but the FFB is in general not to my taste ( not as consistent as I would like, but I think this may be a design flaw in all pull system joysticks.

Does anyone know if this game will be multithreaded?

I'm betting it will still have many errors like the current version.

Been looking forward to this for a while, might be worth the sign up just for the beta.

Better await loads of, this is not a game and you are not meant to crash posts.

Nieldo · 5 Aug 2006 at 20:23

Just pre-ordered mine for £19.99, you might ask where in in world could you do such a thing, just dont ask me because I couldn't say.

Trifid · 5 Aug 2006 at 21:05

Please say that you got the complete version and not the 'cheap' one.

That would be cool - not so much smashing into the groung but damage caused by stress would be excellent :cool:

Roduga · 5 Aug 2006 at 23:38

I think I'll sit and wait for this one. Good things come to those who wait.

Energize · 6 Aug 2006 at 07:11

Have they simulated the crashes properly? I hope it's not like 2004 when the plane would just stop and do nothing when it hit the ground, (not very realistic for a simulator is it?), and say "crashed" reminding you of some sort of 1980s dos game before 3d graphics came out. I know that flight simulator isn't a game but it would be nice if they put at least some fun into it.
