Wow TNCM. In the ENTIRE world, I think it is the second most often place I fly at other than my home town at KFFC.
You should see the guys over at the SimViation forums. They fly over that place like it was the holy grail. :D
LOL  :lol:

This is perfect for me two because my ch products yoke and rudders are scheduled to arrive that same day :lol: :D :D

No, you can get a free membership. Im very confused though. I don't know if they are going to put it out on other sites or not. Anyways, anybody else think its time for an "FSX Screenshots" forum? :D

It will be on lots of sites very quickly after release. I bet there will be a torrent within an hour or two.  :D

Although you can get a free membership for this demo you seem to need the "gamespot total access" account, which means it's not free.

I'd say if you want the demo ASAP you'll have to spend money, or you just wait a week more or something, because sooner or later it's bound to be released for free by other sites. Probably some kind of exclusive for Gamespot, this one.

Pretty simple really  :D
Just download a good BT client (I recommend Azureus or uTorrent), find a torrent site, download a .torrent file and load it into your client.

i will be downloading this, however not from gamespot. why should i signup if i can get it somewhere else anyway. the file will spread so fast within a few hours ill be able to get it from isohunt or something  :D

saying that, i am fairly sure the free account on gamespot does not give you access to the demo. it says "Rate-Limited File Downloads" obviously not the demo.

:lol:

Cant wait though!

Well, it didn't say anything of being restricted to 15 minutes. So I'm looking forward to it. Congrats to MS for smoothing out the waters, and giving us time to make up our minds for good. This will give me a clean picture of FSX.

i agree that the demo will give us a good idea of what to expect, but i still expect the final version to be "bug free" and i can only assume the demo won't have all the features promised by FS. thats for the final copy  :D
