Nice!

Do you know if we can just install it over the top of the Beta 4 release or do we need to do a completely new install. Also do you know if the CD Key is the same from the Beta because I have not received anything from ED?

Awesome Chaz, thanks. leeching the seed now.

Bones, I would do a clean install. I believe the key you have from Beta is THE key to use in the final version.

I am going to wait to download it, probably try tomorrow. Everyone and their grandma is downloading it now and getting 50kb/sec! Blud, maybe you can privately host the files if you finish downloading it today/tonight?? (One thing that has always annoyed me about Eagle Dyanmics are their SLOW files servers.)

Hopefully they will release a patch in the future to allow mutliplayer between Black Shark and A-10!

Kewl! I wonder if they will reset the number of "Activations" for the serial key then back to 7 as I have used a few of them due to rebuilding my rig several times.

I'm using Utorrent and I'm at 30% ETA 1 Hr

[Bones]

i get off work in an hour and I will start DL when I get home, hopefully more seeders are on by then. Anyone check some of more popular torrent sites to see if they have been uploaded other than the ED site?

[dman248]

[=VG= BLuDKLoT]

Yes

Downloaded it last night via torrent and surprisingly got it over night. Took this bitch up for a test fight early this morning before work and all I can say is: FUCK YES. !rockon

I don't have the fastest rig (see my sig), but A-10C runs very smooth at respectable frame rates with most settings on High at 1920X1080. Down low, near the airport, cities: 20-35 fps, up high 40-55.

[Bones]

Yeah I played some last night and it runs really really well.

Word of caution though, plan on spending a lot of time getting your controls\keymaps\HOTAS just right. With so much depth and realism involved in all the avionics\weapon systems there are a ton of keystrokes you need to memorize. I think I clocked in about 3 hours last night and I still don't have everything mapped out.

I believe that this is the most complicated sim I have yet to fly. It is certainly going to take many many flight hours to get proficient with everything that this sims capable of.
