oldpropfan Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 So unless I got this completely wrong, prepays can start downloading 0100 UTC on the 27th, which for us in the PNW is 5pm on Friday the 26th (this according to the World Clock converter). :o :o Freakin awesome except that I don't get off work till 9pm. Will have to contract some illness by Friday I'm sure. ;D Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robcap Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I feel that bug playing around already Wolter, I'm bad at math, what time can I start downloading here in Holland?? I pre-ordered, and can't wait to put my plane up overthere. Cherio, Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolter van der Spoel Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Hi Rob Carefull with bug we are lagging 10 hours behind our Australian friends, hence the announced time -10 would be a nice startpoint UTC Sunday, 28 February 2010 at 01:00:00, so for us that would be 02:00 in the morning of the 28th here in Cheese County Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan_A Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Wolter - I'm sorry to be obtuse, but I'm still confused. Does the countdown clock refer to the general release, or to the early sale to preorder customers? If the clock refers to the general release, then preorder downloads would begin 27 February 2010 at 01:00:00 - meaning 0200 on the 27th in the Netherlands... or 2000 on the 26th here in the "Atlantic Northeast" (Washington, DC, specifically). Can you confirm? I hate to press you, but I need to know how to ration my meds.... Best, Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolter van der Spoel Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 As far as I can deduct and english is not my native lenguage I'd say the official release is as I have stated in my previous post, imho I'd say your assumption is correct. the final word is to John Venema on that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan_A Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Thanks, Wolter. That means my pills will last. If not, I'll make them last somehow... Best, Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sos Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 For Users not aligned with AEST ... here is a link to a UTC Clock ... one of which shows time and date, UTC. Stick that on your desktop, put on the kettle, and sit and watch it countdown ... http://macjedimatt.blogspot.com/2008/03/zulugmtutc-clock-widget.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THibben Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Will the pre orders be notified by E-Mail when and where you can down load from? Just curious, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper31 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Will the pre orders be notified by E-Mail when and where you can down load from? Just curious, Tom In the past, the answer to that question is 'YES', so I assume that will be the case this time as well. That said, I have no idea how many pre-orders there have been, so I would not rely solely for just that email. Keep watching the forum here for the latest and greatest news. That is the best way to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeramyH Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 So is it correct to say that pre-pay customers get to download 24 hours before the clock on the site is up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olderndirt Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 As of now, the FlightSim store is offering pre-orders of either a straight 4+Gb download or the download with a DVD backup for an extra $7+. Would it be better to wait for your DVD release at the end of March and how much to ship a DVD from Australia to Washington state? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
