Beta Testers

Okay my bid to be a Beta Testor(ne)

If I'm not picked, please all the beta dudes(ettes)

Pick a different aircraft for every sortie.

Try different fuel, ammo, weapons loadouts, see what effect they have on performance.

Note the torque when the engine starts.

Note the climb rate at various speeds.

Note the effect your guns/cannons have on the various aircraft you attack.

Note the effect various guns/cannon have on your aircraft.

Try stick stirring and see if it effects the shot of the person on your six, or your plane just stalls and plummets to the eart/terrain/arean floor.

Dive and see if you start to compress, and at what speed.

Find books on the aircraft you flew with performance data and compare.  If there is a difference post your data, your sources.

Be fair, explore, try things, don't speculate, provide HTC with feedback so they can make improvements where they are needed.

Don't just tool around in the beta, and keep any bugs you find to yourself.  If you think something is wrong provide data to back up your claims.

Take notes, share info, don't fly only your favorite aircraft, fly different aircraft, compare their performance, does it appear historically accurate, if it doesn't post your sources as to what the problem is.

Be BETA TESTERS, not BETA Moochers.

It's only an alpha at this point.  Most things are still incomplete.  The kind of stuff you mention will mainly be done in the beta phase.
