I'll answer my own question. Roll Eyes

FSX was released for Beta testing May 24, 2006.
FSX was released to the US market Oct 17 2006, just under 5 months later. Suggesting a Flight release date of summer 2012. Possibly. Speculatively speaking, maybe. Cool

Good news, everyone!

Well, I think it's good news...

I applied just then, and it asked for my LIVE username, so hopefully it will be using LIVE online for connectivity. That is a system that, so far, has been working for me for about 7-8 years! Reliability at last Grin

Grin

Purely speculative, but majorly hopeful Wink

(Another thing to note is that the FAQ and the videos say it uses Windows LIVE if you actually bother to read it! Shame on all of you! Tongue

Signup hoping that I get in

Wonder if the beta will let us put in old models from fsx?

It is generally inadvisable to eject directly over the area you just bombed

Why all this noise? You know very well that if any of you or whoever else chosen for beta testing discovers a whatever defect and this cannot be corrected before the date of publishing... always if it CAN be corrected, just look at FSX... the program will be published anyway uncorrected, sacrificing their customers in the name of the God $. And you can only hope that, at best, a patch (lately, in a rather bombastic mood, renamed service pack) will be scheduled for as soon as they have a little free time. Huh

Huh

In a way one could say the real beta testing is made by the first buyers of the thing, who, rather disappointed (and I cannot see why, since they should know that among humans history WANTS to repeats itself, especially the bad parts of it), will make noise and push for said patch to be produced.

And before ANY OF YOU starts calling me defeatist, please look back to the story of all M$ software and please tell me WHERE I am wrong in this estimation. Tongue

There is no such a thing as overkill. Only unworthy targets.

You have some serious problems with Microsoft. I honestly don't understand why you are still here if you hate their products so much? Huh

Huh

After Vista, did anyone think Windows would be any good? No, but look where it is today...the most popular operating system on the market now.
