Its ok to say the devs made a mistake, they wont cry.

In the process of coding the mixtures and start up procedure, the person making the changes must of a some point said "its done, finished Luthier"

How did they know they had "finished" with out testing the changes he/she made?

You make changes to the start ups but dont try and start the planes yourself in game?

Come on Chivas...

Anything could have happened after/if the guy tested the start procedure, the lead programmer may have optimized code in one feature, and that change could have porked another feature. Thats the whole point of releasing another beta patch for the community to test. If they could test everything, they wouldn't bother sending the beta to the community, they'd just send it to Steam when they finished, but we'd be waiting alot longer for the Steam RC.

S!

Well, sent some crash dumps to them if that is of any help. Had first crash for ages now and it actually generated a dump file.

Chivas. Please stop talking about what you consider to be normal in the software development life cycle. I've been in software testing and QA for 14 years and I can tell you that even from the outside they simply aren't testing this software. They aren't even smoke testing it before firing it out to us. Them telling us it's in beta testing is just lip service and you are just swallowing it, they are buying time but for me that time is just about up.
