2500 Test Pilots are better than 2

[STEELE]

Please let us help test the 410 by releasing it soon/now.  My whole squad will be happy to report bugs (if any) that we find.
 I bet about 1000 other toon pilots would be happy to oblige as well

lol, good try

[Devil 505]

I'll second that motion. 

[Guppy35]

Just remember that 2498 of those pilots are going to jump out of it right after their first flight when they find out it's not 'uber' in the way they want it to be.

So it will be those two dedicated 410 guys, willing to cartoon fight and die in it that will really be testing it

And then the BBS will drown in complaints about how HTC could ever dare to release a plane with bugs 

[Ruah]

I see what you did there

[Wagger]

Come on Guppy only 2 pilots?  Did you forget me.  That makes 3 pilots to spread fear and anguish among the non believers.  Or one more comedian to lighten up everyone night.

Nah, I bet they all (or 99%) worked out by now

I was counting you as one of em

Still there is a diamond in the ruff.  Rolling out testing to a larger group could be very useful.

I write software and roll it out as so:

1. Unit test system.
2. Business Unit level test system.
3. Smallest production system.
4. Set of next smallest production servers (fewest clients and load).
5. All production servers.

This catches bugs early on, finds performance bottlenecks etc.

Every time Pyro invites us to a Beta server some of us show up and report bugs. Some of us tell everyone on green channel there is a beta server. Many say they will check it out and don't. Pyro rolls out the the results of the beta to the general population which always becomes Beta2.0 and really pisses off the guys with marginal systems.

I only have this side of the impression but, over the years it seems to quack the same duck sounds each time.

This time it could be a closed beta using the trainers with an agreement to non-disclosure. At least our Bug forum for the current version seems pretty calm these days and the majority of my squad are playing the game opposed to CTDing all the time. We should be giving someone a round of applause for that.

Impatience is a virtue best practiced distilling nitroglycerin.

I also need to add it to my acceleration tests... very important... and I also have it added to the Aircraft and Vechilce Service Dates but it's not there.

I don't want to tarnish my reputation or anything...

*ears perk*

...Acceleration tests?  Are these posted somewhere, perhaps on the Internet?  This is relevant to my interests.

we stated in our forum that when the 410 comes it will be our squadrons plane of choice.
