And this is not to please fanboys or something. It's an offer, one that you don't have to take.
At the same time EagleDynamics can run the beta on a wide variety of systems and as such eliminate possible incompatibilities.


This is quite common, for modern games. BoP and X-plane did the same, BTW, so this is nothing new and fearsome, even in the flightsim-genre.
I read the whole post...and I understand the deal.

And I still think it would NEVER work for this community...the very idea is hilarious.

We're all here because we are interested in Il-2, and love the game. I am sure that the whole forum who are experienced in playing such a game could do a great job if the offer came up.

Great idea!

Love the A10c beta, as I am sure I would the SOW one, if they would go down that path.

Sure, the beta can be distributed, but there security measures come into play. (online connectivity, limited amount of install, you name it)

cheers,

BP

you will have to work on your spelling skills first (two) proper communication is an imperative must have skill for all beta testers

edit:
i hope that your dozens of previous observations won't deter future update presentations, due to excessive whining syndrome

I'd be happy to pre-purchase SOW, BOB or IL2 ver. 4.11 with no beta or strings attached if it would help the 1C team.

Has anyone mentioned that the most likely scenario is that all of our opinions on this subject are completely and utterly irrelevant, the course of action long ago decided? If so +1.

Oleg will hold his cards close to the vest, he's way too smart to do anything else, considering especially how many times he's been burned.
