I'd like to try these flight sims out, but I don't have money to spend on a controller.

There's a catch to this demo:

It only runs for 30 minutes and then the demo is over. You can only play it for 30 mins! Which sucks, because you might spend more than that downloading the 600MB+ file.

*sigh* sounds like microsoft...

Someone go find a crack to remove the timer from the demo.

Yea I was playing last night and got owned after 30 minutes.

It's a fucking demo Microsoft It's a GOOD thing if someone wants to play more than 30 minutes.. besides its not like you can fly around the world they didn't include enough scenery for that.

I found myself crashing into the ocean and opening up my cockpit door at 10,000 feet. Overall a fun game.

-10,000 Points for the time limit though.

Wonder if they will includ a time limit in the beta?

What's your OS? Win2k or XP?

Edit: WGA what?

[Hamma]

He said WinXP

Windows Genuine Advantage, their new spyware that gives you all sorts of popups when you have "invalid" software.

[TX3RN0BILL]

I've got Win2k so I wonder if it'll run on it... oh well, I'll wait until it's available to dl from a national server...

[Hamma]

I dont think it will run on 2k knowing MS - they will want you to buy XP

[TX3RN0BILL]

It's a fact: the Prelease demo does not support Win95/98/ME/2k/2003 Server... So no go for me! Thank god the only copy of MS Flight Simulator is Microsoft Flight Simulator 1.0, and that was my father who got it, a long time ago...

[Hamma]

hehe I recall playing flight sim in DOS

It was such a pain in the balls to get my XMS and EMS working the way I wanted it to.
