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 :rock
:salute
-
lol, good try :lol
-
I'll second that motion. :aok
-
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 ;)
-
I see what you did there
-
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 (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,335562.0.html) but it's not there.
I don't want to tarnish my reputation or anything... :lol

*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. :)

entire topgun squad sniping people with a 50mm cannon?
/watch the whining cause it be perked to 100

I'll believe it once you last a couple weeks in it. And I mean the squad :)

my D25 has started drooling after hearing that :D

Yep. I ran them for years and posted the results here. I then think Guppy incorporated it into his interactive website that lets you look at all characteristics of aircraft.
Fighter Aircraft Test Results 150ft (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,83705.0.html)
Fighter Aircraft Test Results 18'000ft (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,83987.0.html)
I ran those tests 9 years ago :O wow. 9 years ago.

I'm with you when that happens, OH MY !

I am doing a bunch of 150-200 and 200-250 acceleration tests as part of my fighter-bomber performance evaluations. If there is any of those you want to know about tell me which and if I haven't tested it already I'll do those and let you know.
Hint: The Hurricane Mk IIc accelerates very poorly from 200 to 250 while carrying two 500lb bombs. :p
Surprise: The WrG21 launchers have no drag penalty on the Bf110G-2 after they have been fired.

:headscratch: what about the bomb racks?

Karnak, Also do a .speed 175 and 225 and note the climb rates.

The man gave you a misson Karnak.
Chop chop all future delay of new release I will now blame you for :devil

I have been doing climb tests using the default auto-speeds with Alt-X. Does setting the auto-speed to 175 and 225 reveal something I am not understanding? I saw last night that the P-51D and P-38L both use 174 as their default and the Mosquito VI used 168.

For your test they the are Karnak, for any giving speed, Acceleration * x = Climbrate. Where X is just a constant based on your units.
I.E. Climb rate and acceleration are just different units of the same thing.
Your acceleration test should very closely match the climb rate test at the different speeds 175 just happens to be between 150 and 200.

Here's the long version if you're interested Karnak.

Yes, that I understood.
The reason I started doing the acceleration tests was because I couldn't get a good sustained climb speed near sea level. Auto-speed takes too long to stabilize so I only use it for the climb tests at 5000ft and above.

I some times forget I have special commands that keep atmosphere at a given alt no matter what the altimeter reads.

That sounds tremendously useful.
