Take On Helicopters Pre-Order Beta

[bobocz 10]

Good News Everyone, Take On Helicopters Pre-Order Beta!

The Take On Helicopters Pre-Order Beta rewards those who’ve pre-ordered the game with a generous batch of early-access content, playable above a huge section of the Seattle terrain!

The beta will be available for those who’ve pre-ordered the game from October 4th, while the full game itself now has an official release date of October 27th! Check out the full details and some of the latest screens shots below.

Great news, really :o, but I don't have new rig yet and also I wanted hard copy. Hard decision making and it will be hard to wait whole month for final game, probably I will pre-order game ;).

[papanowel 120]

Great news :)

[twisted 128]

beta test coming soon. that's a nice surprise. looking froward to it :)

I'm confused, can you still pre-order now and play the beta on 10/4 or is for people who pre-ordered a while back?

[glowbal 13]

Game is not released yet, so I think you can still pre-order. Also the banner on top still says pre-order now! ;)

i have preordered for a long time and only found out about the beta access today via a news site. so as it's recent news i'd guess that all pre-orders made before the 4 Oct get beta access. Why would BIS cut off a a potentially increased revenue source?

Of course access to the Pre-Order Beta will be made available to all those who pre-ordered so far, including before this was announced. Especially those who used Sprocket! ;)

Hey, that's great news! Also, only 1.5 months till release? I haven't been following the announcements much, but was prepared for a much longer wait. :-)

I'm really looking forward to dusting off the HOTAS next month, thanks BIS!

[maddogx 13]

Awesome news. :)

Great to see BIS doing pre-release betas now. Hopefully this practise will also grace CC:GM and Arma3.

[hollywoody 10]

ordered mine today!! from sprocket.

[zoog 18]

So, do we get access to the pre-order beta at 00:01 AM tonight? Clogging the BIS file server(s) with everyone together? :D

I'm really looking forward to the beta. How it runs, how it plays :)

[samb 15]

Yeah I hope my rig will handle it. If not I'm gona cry. Seriously.

[slasher8u 10]

Does anyone know what time roughly the beta will be out? I'm in Australia not sure what time it is over there.

Cheers ash

[samb 15]

[whiskeytango 11]

Super excited for the beta. Sprocket should email when it's available (might be tomorrow for me depending on the timezones).

[LeftSkidLow 1]

Preordered, now I will watch my phone like a hawk for the download link email.

iv ordered it last friday(Sept. 30th) and even tho i had planty of money in my account after i filled out all the info and credit card stuff it sent me to a page where it said "Processing" and on the page in the middle of the screen it says "Your card is being protected by Bank of America" , then below tht it says "Processing.....", but has been like that for a long time!

FYI.

I got an email when ordering (like you) and then I received another email when payment had gone through shortly after.

If you did not get the payment confirmation email then the payment most likely did not go through. Hope that helps.

"Thank you for pre-ordering Take On Helicopters. Your download link will be activated once the preload is enabled (you will be notified by email)."

*Sigh....* Come ooooooooooooon! It's been 4th of Oct for 18 hours already here in Australia! ;)

If this helps: i payed via PayPal and i got 2 confirmation mails. The first was a rather simple text:

Hi Michel Henkel,

the Status of your Order No. 21610 has been changed.

New Status is:

____________________________________________________________

Paid/Confirmed

____________________________________________________________

After that i got also a "official" (means with logo and all necessary stuff) with the subject "Purchase confirmation", including a (not yet working) download link.

I hope this info is useful.
