will we need to redownload at release

[thrawn]

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?

You will have to download the full game next week. The full game will be about 14GB-15GB

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.

Ouch! Cap limit? That sounds like a nasty ISP you have! Fire them!

I have some spare DVD-R Dual Layer with no use, tell me if you would like me to ship the datafiles to you.

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).

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

14-15 GB? Ah damn, it will download about a month with my dial-up connection .

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?
