VMFA117_Poko Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Oh man! Finally we got proper "Area51" access here! I think I'll wake my wife to ask her can I spend 60 bucks on beta (despite my poor financials - I'm making over my own brand new flat). I'm sure she'll understand :D... No, really. I have to pass for a while... but I don't believe it will take more than tomorrow evening :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvsgas Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 This must be how it looks like when they open a homeless center to give soup. We are all just starring trough the window, hungry, waiting for our little cup of warm soup. :D 1 To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..

V1Rotate Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Oh and whilst on the subject of torrents: I have my upload limited at 60KB/s so I can play BF2 Project Reality whilst I wait for the download, will that affect the max speed of my torrent download? i7 930@ 3.8GHz, Corsair H50-1, Asus P6X58D-E, 6gb Patriot Ram, ATI 5850 1 Gb, Antec 300, F3 1GB HDD, Corsair 24" Dell 2408WFP.

Tracer2k Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Im amazed from the amount of people complaining about the price. I mean, how cheap did you expect it to be? $60 is very reasonable price if you ask me. There are games full of bugs that cost more. the amount of proper flight sims is very small and im more than happy to support the market. Hell, i'd even pay $70 and be happy about it downloading now via torrent 200kb/s eta 10 hours :( bed time for me.. i just have no idea how can i concentrate at work tomorrow knowing what is waiting me at home :) WOOOOoooooo ------------------------------------------------------ AMD Phenom II x6 1090T 3.2GHz Black edition 8GB DDR3 1333 GeForce GTX580 Windows 7 64bit ------------------------------------------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V1Rotate Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Max bandwidth download is normally around 14-16.5 mb/s Upload is 1mb/sec Oh and torrents always start slowly so give it time to connect to all the seeders, you will soon see your download speeds increase to a decent level (provided your firewalls arent blocking your torrent software!) i7 930@ 3.8GHz, Corsair H50-1, Asus P6X58D-E, 6gb Patriot Ram, ATI 5850 1 Gb, Antec 300, F3 1GB HDD, Corsair 24" Dell 2408WFP.

aaron886 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 (edited) Suuuper excited for this right now. My internet cannot download fast enough. Great thinking on the Beta, ED, hopefully we can be useful for you! This has to be the most "blind" purchase I have ever made - no question, just go go go! :thumbup: Hmmm. I can't log in on your FTP servers........ Same thing. This was an issue when I was downloading FC2. (I knew the login info at the time but can't remember it now.) Can you lend us a hand and make this available, ED? :huh: Also... I sent NaturalPoint a polite email... maybe if we ALL hassle em they'll work extra hard. Hehe.

sweinhart3 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 The torrent is going pretty good, 250KB/s. If more people jumped on it, it would go faster. Make that 450KB/s. Not for me.

kingneptune117 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 60 bucks seems fair to me considering the VRS F/A-18E superhornet for fsx is 50 dollars, and its only an add on 1 "When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return." - Leonardo da Vinci Intel i7-4790k | Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo heat sink | Thermaltake Core V71 case | 750W EVGA PSU | 8gb G.SKILL Ripjaws DDR3 RAM | MSI Z97 Gaming 5 LGA 1150 motherboard | Samsung SSD | ASUS STRIX GTX 970 | Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog | TIR 5 | Razer Deathadder | Corsair K70 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
