Free weekend?

Just my little theory here.

Steam messed up and punched in the 27th instead of the 28th, and Steam went live at 19.00 CET on the 27th. So assuming the plan was for both Steam and standalone to go live at the same time, it could be a safe bet that standalone goes live at 19.00 CET today (17.00 Zulu if Im not mistaken).

 

hmmm.

;3638203']Has anyone else been able to get it on an account that has never had another module bought on it?

 

ie an account that has been completely free.

 

I'm trying to install it on my server account (which has no previously purchased modules) and it's not working either.

 

Edit: What I am trying now is logging in with my regular account (which has purchased PG) and downloading it that way (the download is now underway). Hopefully when it's installed and I switch back to my server account, the authorization will allow me to use it.

No joy. PG is installed on my server machine, but as soon as I switch to my server login, I get a message that PG is not authorized and will be disabled.

 

I wanted just for a weekend to run PG on my server, but I guess that's not going to happen. Dedicated server options, please!!!

I've just tryied the Persian gulf map!

I'm not eloquent enough to express my impression when I tried to fly over this wast area for firs time. It is a masterpice, something out of this world.The FPS is exellent,the terrain is fantastic. I have the Nevada map and have tought that Persian gulf would be something like that, but the PG is much much beautiful. Thank you ED for being giving as the chance of trying some of the modules you sell. Now I'm sure that I'll buye PG, but the first on the queue is F-14.

Is there any benefit to installing the Su-33 module (or any FC3 aircraft) on top of FC3? Wondering cause myself, and probably everyone else, got the notification to install it.

I think there are some extra missions with the standalones, but the aircraft itself is identical.

I was doing some PC maintenance so I didn't had anything installed, I'll try throwing it on quickly temporairly on an old SSD, still use other OS for maintenance so I managed to get 90GB free space for a NTFS partition, hopefully it would all fit with Caucasus, or I'll have to manually delete some stuff, that gave me an idea, to have some kind of updater option not to install cacuasus map by default, in case like this for example.

 

I'm already using the "set download folder" option in the updater, putting it to another disk, was one of my wishes I remember quite a while, many thanks!

 

So maybe if this demo idea happens in future, it could maybe be tied with account, so if anyone misses it maybe he would have 1 or 2 weeks to activate that timed period, if people are traveling or on vacation.

Not sure that is possible, but for sure if this is well received, and so far it has been, we can do more of these weekends.

I love this concept of free weekends!

 

However, has anyone been able to get these to install on a clean account with no purchased modules? I’ve been trying to get PG on my dedicated server so we can do some multiplayer on it (we all have the map purchased, but I don’t want to buy a second license for the server so we’ve been limited to Caucuses). When I open the module manager, I don’t get the option to download any of these free modules.

 

Anyone else?

 

Edit: just saw in the Hornet forum that’s its being looked at. Thx!
