hah but I meant they need core testers...lets say guys who will test beta and final patches in the stages of their production, before release on forums...or they have already few ppl for that...I mean for every patch, including betas they would need ppl who will pre test it...no?

Why Im telling this? Some of us have greater knwoledge of hardware, software optimisations and tunings. Some of us hav been beta testers in other (advanced) sims....we now how and what to test....

The right question - "Which maps will we see in the sequel?"
This will be discussed after the announcement of the project.

Have you considered a formal bug tracking system that the community can get involved in? It is difficult to tell what bugs the devs are/are not aware of at the moment since the bug threads do not get feedback.

As an old developer / development manager I really like this one, the big problem is to open the tap for a whole world of people that are not used to working with bug tracking software and the processes needed to get it working. If the users are not strict in reporting bugs according to rules regarding all the information needed to file a bug correctly, and themselves so a thorough search so they don't enter a bug that has already been reported, the testing team will have to put a full time employee just to reject all bugs that are not relevant...

I participate in the beta for MS Flight, and all hell has broken loose in their bug tracking site as the same bugs are reported 10-20 times, and the quality of the bug reports is completely out of bounds. One in ten include steps to reproduce the bug, and one in 20 contain complete system specifications...
There are really not that many bugs I can find in Flight, but hundreds of bugs are reported over and over again in the same sloppy manner when new users join the beta...

As MG has very limited resources I think the only way to do this would be by a community managed bug tracking site where community moderators do the initial verification of bugs before they are sent to the development team.

But I really like the idea!

The Russian aircraft in IL2 1946 fb were the exact same shade of green as the trees, making it nearly impossible to spot them over a forest, this was unrealistic.

How will "the sequel" differ?

Is it expected to appear rain and heavy clouds over Brittain?
