ROFL ..
I'm quite sure TD has plenty of people to beta test, including a final look over by 1C people
I helped run a large beta test of 100 additional people beyond a longer term *core* test team of about 25, when Red baron II ws being made into Red Baron 3D .. it was counter productive in that we really only needed the 25, and only a few of the additional 100 had any disipline in following testing proceedures and reasonable unbiased reporting
Luckily, the only real purpose for the larger group was stress-testing the server-client software, but much time was wasted dealing with so many amatuer *experts* and their unprofessional biases and opinions of flight modeling
TD has only recently gotten 1C tools and utilities to compile the work themselves, this is likely what most of the delay is about
I don't understand the impatience, *beta* 4.09b1 was around for how long ? .. and if it not been for TD, theere likely would have never been an official 4.09m .. not that I play hours per day, but have any of you posting here actually been through all of the additions to 4.09m, much less the mods added to it by the community ?
Frankly, I think it's good we've had a few months of stability and one version of the sim to work from .. 4.10 sounds great and I'm looking forward to features mentioned that will come later in the 4.1x series, however 4.10 will be disruptive also, as 4.09m was disruptive to 4.08m and 4.09b1
So I think the last thing we need is a 4.10b and am certainly willing to wait a few more days or weeks for an official 4.10m
That there is any official support for a sim or any software this old is completely amazing .. After IL-2 1946 4.07m was released, Oleg could have just as easily forgotten about it entirely .. and I don't think anyone would have had cause to complain or ask for more
I only want them to release soon so this rambling thread can be closed .. LOL ..
