open beta

[diveplane]

imo the dev team should have opted for a puplic open beta approach,
like what dcs a10c was prior to going retail.= pre purchase plan , and you get to test open beta, and reserved a retail copy,

more people testing on wider systems the better, in the end you get a polished more refind product,.. just my 2 cents on it.

What's the difference?

You payed for a beta, reported the bugs and they got fixed until you got the polished release-version for free.

Now you buy the game, report the bugs here and they fix it until you have a polished fixed version for free.

Just the WhaWhaWha of the community is the difference. That's all.

Nope.

Reports and feedback do.

That's why this wha wha wha without even having seen the game is futile at best.

how i can run dcs a10c on a older rig quite smooth , good coders and open beta approach, no need for a nasa pc to run the sim.

If there had a been a Poll asking if the community would have preferred 500 lucky Beta testers and a 6 month wait for general release or to release the game but accept there may be issues I would have voted for the latter.

I am sure it will be sorted and we can all play our part to that end.

skip the 500 lucky crap, just have a open pre purchase testing.

The difference that I see is that with more people testing the sim, the more bugs will be identified and more quickly.

You ARE testing the sim, when buying it and bugs will be resolved. Just as with A-10C. The difference is just the distribution and that you're not called Beta-tester. Everything else is exactly the same.

Trust me, performance had NOTHING to do with open beta or not.
