thrawn 10 Posted October 22, 2011 I just got the preorder. and I'm wondering does downloading the Beta also preload the full game for release date or am I going to have to download next week as well to unlock the remaining content? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derbysieger 11 Posted October 22, 2011 You will have to download the full game next week. The full game will be about 14GB-15GB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thrawn 10 Posted October 22, 2011 Alright. Thanks for the heads up. I guess I'll have to wait until the tuesday following release for my cap limit to start over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xman1 10 Posted October 22, 2011 Ouch! Cap limit? That sounds like a nasty ISP you have! Fire them! -X Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

-DirTyDeeDs--Ziggy- 0 Posted October 22, 2011 in the pre-order confirmation from sprocket, you get this message: Dear customer,Thank you for pre-ordering Take On Helicopters from Sprocketidea.com. As a reward, we are pleased to grant you access to the Pre-order Beta of Take On Helicopters. Please note that the pre-order beta and later the full game will share the same License Key. Also bear in mind that downloading the pre-order beta will have no influence on the download of the full game (you will have to download the game once it is released as there will be no patch for the preorder-beta to transform it into the full game).

thrawn 10 Posted October 25, 2011 Thanks Ziggy. I did not see that notice when purchasing and downloading from Steam. TommyToad2- I appreciate the offer but I'm up in the great white north so shipping times and whatnot will mean waiting til about the same time. Fortunately for me up until last night my computer couldn't quite handle the Beta so I imagine there will be enough material in there to keep me busy for a week. Happy flying everyone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dcvm 10 Posted October 25, 2011 You will have to download the full game next week. The full game will be about 14GB-15GB 14-15 GB? Ah damn, it will download about a month with my dial-up connection :). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neurosys 10 Posted October 26, 2011 Just got home and saw steam ticking away at a 16GB dload... is this the full ver maybe? w00t hope so, I'm dying to play career mode. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jedra 11 Posted October 26, 2011 Hi, I just bought on Sprocket (about 10 minutes ago). It's downloading the pre-order beta now - is there any point in doing this? i.e. Am I going to have to do another 14Gb or so download again tomorrow? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dale0404 5 Posted October 26, 2011 Hiya Jedra, pretty pointless actually mate. The full game files should be released (without the .exe file to install it) sometime today, hopefully very soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jedra 11 Posted October 26, 2011 Thanks all - download stopped! I'll wait for the pre-load. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dale0404 5 Posted October 26, 2011 /off topic. Jedra, just noticed your sig. How are your shoulders? Ouch btw! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jedra 11 Posted October 26, 2011 /off topic.Jedra, just noticed your sig. How are your shoulders? Ouch btw! lol - thanks. I can type a bit and play games with a controller but I am stuffed for keyboard and mouse for a while! One arm is better than the other. Having physio but got to go through it all again in 3 months when I have an operation to glue them back on properly! Did the right one throwing a ball for my daughter (it's an old football injury) and then two days later did the left one when I slipped down a muddy slope and grabbed a tree on the way down!! Two visits in two days to St Malo hospital - glad I got that E111! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sickboy 13 Posted October 26, 2011 Damn Jedra - seems to be serious stuff - not something done in a couple of days/weeks! (again/still?) Good luck and get well soon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jcgam 11 Posted October 26, 2011 My pre-order download via Steam completed last night. This is the first time I've pre-ordered through Steam so I'm not sure when exactly it will be unlocked. I haven't tried to play it yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xman1 10 Posted October 26, 2011 (edited) Hi,I just bought on Sprocket (about 10 minutes ago). It's downloading the pre-order beta now - is there any point in doing this? i.e. Am I going to have to do another 14Gb or so download again tomorrow? Yes. It is about 14GB. I am downloading the full version right now through Sprocket. -X Edited October 26, 2011 by xman1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thrawn 10 Posted October 27, 2011 interestingly the way steam did the pre-load for the game makes it so that I no longer have access to the beta. Now I wish I hadn't downloaded the beta so that I could just play the full tomorrow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zoog 18 Posted October 27, 2011 Huh? Why would you be ubable to play the full tomorrow (today)? Steam just updated your beta to full release, right? So you're good to go once it's unlocked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lNTRUDER 26 Posted October 27, 2011 For Sprocket customers I would recommend their direct links for download. Much faster as usual :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh, that was in relation to my previous comment about going over cap limit. Which is no longer an issue. it seems i was confused on where their "month" starts. turns out I just rolled over so I'm good to go once the release is set Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
