bobocz 10 Posted September 15, 2011 (edited) 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 ;). Edited September 15, 2011 by BoboCZ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LeftSkidLow 1 Posted September 16, 2011 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
glowbal 13 Posted September 16, 2011 Game is not released yet, so I think you can still pre-order. Also the banner on top still says pre-order now! ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twisted 128 Posted September 16, 2011 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? 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DnA 5143 Posted September 16, 2011 so as it's recent news i'd guess that all pre-orders made before the 4 Oct get beta access. 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! ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
karstux 10 Posted September 16, 2011 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!

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KosPilot 10 Posted October 4, 2011 "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! ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[frl]myke 14 Posted October 4, 2011 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
