Patch Notes Update Beta 1 Available for Download

[synchromesh]

Relax, and blame it on the Yanks. It works for me.

Hmmm Ye your right it does

 

[synchromesh]

Gonna order a new joystick with throttle whilst im waiting.....

Any advice ..... Nothing to expensive though.... Spent it all on the Beta and life time updates

Trust me, it's worth the wait. In the few seconds I was in the game I literally smacked my gob at the improvements.

Same here. Loving that new spin up sound from the engines when you boost.

Jeez, you people are so ungrateful, such childish whiners. Its been released all of one hour, give it time to settle in. Its a beta, it will have issues. Im sure by tomorrow morning everything will be fine

 

[the_bruce]

I want to hear the new sounds... *sob*

 

[Dunken K Bliths]

All I Can say...great stuff guys !!!

I bought an X55 a couple of weeks ago. Love it.

I wonder if this is what it was like signing in to World of Warcraft for the first time waaaaaaay back when vanilla first went live...

I'm just excited to be a part of this

 

[GKS]

Well this is just sad.
Downloaded and ready to go but the server isn't working. Online is just red

Disgraceful, firstly it is released near midnight. Then once you finally download the update you can't get online anyway.

YES!! I freaking love that sound now!

 

[Dreamcaster]

Okay, just like any of us, I am here waiting for that online button to become clickable...

in the meantime, I am re-re-re-re-playing the solo scenarios: have you noticed that the AI tends to adapt kamikaze strategy when out-powered?
I got it in scenarios no3 (vs sidewinder) and no4 (vs federal fighters, once I killed 2 of them the last one tried repeatedly to crash onto me...finally succeeding).

Go into the single player campaigns, you will hear beautiful music.

 

[stevesideas]

Would this be any different in terms of players online at one time when the game is fully released ? Should I be expecting a red online button and no ability to play when this happens ? I bloody hope not ! I'm very concerned about the network side of things. It seems to be an ongoing issue starting from when multiplayer was first introduced. I really hope this is sorted at some stage otherwise they really could be digging ED's own grave !

The Logitech Extreme 3D Pro is a pretty darn solid budget stick, runs for about $30.

 

[Mister]

Can anyone actually get into the online server?

 

[Cosmo]

Amazing work, well done!

Wow ....Bit out of price range there mate ....nearly £240 ... Looks awesome though

 

[Nomadski]

They should have given us Alphas early access like they promised, would have helped server load.

Its all good ... it will be sorted out. Its just because there are sooooo......... many people waiting to get going, and trying to log in. Im still downloading, and might have a go tonight, but its here now, not like a quick restricted beta weekend, so there will be plenty opportunity over the next day to get out and about in your shiny new Sidey

I thought that that was typical AI behaviour - they all seem to attempt to reorient themselves for a face-to-face laser-race as soon as they get the chance - regardless that they might be outgunned, outclassed and outarmoured.
