Hello, can you post links to the demo once it has come up, and maybe a few screenshots and a review.

Also has anyone been invited to the beta yet?

Ah well, i'll download it overnight.

I reckon it'll be around ~800mb

 

[Nieldo]

You said you got a mail from gamespot before, is this a demo coming out on gamespot or is this the beta on fileplanet that was advertised before?

 

[chrismox]

It's a public demo, not a beta.

Well, "public" if you subscribe to Gamespot so I guess the rest of us will have to wait until it pops up somewhere else.

 

[Naffa]

Gamespot isn't even worth downloading from. On 5.5Mbps I get 90Kbps at best.

You must be joking. Demos turn up about a month later on there - if ever!!! Very fast though!

 

[Quantic]

Oh and it's 1am guys. Not midnight as previously posted.

I doubt it's the most demanding game?

I'm sure my X1900XT can handle it.

I love flight sims, I lvoe the new gfx from the screenshots Ive seen, but I think they should start making the planes more realistic.

If anyone has ever used a PMDG plane then you will know what I mean, take a look: http://www.precisionmanuals.com/html/747VC.htm

Fully functioning flight computer, loads of switches that accutally do stuff, as real as it gets. I think in the next flight sim they should have a lot more detail on the planes to make them as real as possible.
