thats gonna be my job

Ah come on stop fighting, I'll beta test problem solved ;) :D
But seriously, will there be beta testers period, if so how can we get picked?
I'm pretty knowledgable about bugs and stuff since I'm doing some programming for a game myself :)
-
They will prolly just release it and add paches as we find the bugs.
If they do beta testing i belive I will be chosen for my abilities as a swimmer, and heavy use of rum on saturday nights.

Lol

hehehehehehe :D

I thought I heard HTC mention something about doing beta testing as they go... the beta patches of the updated engine would be an optional download and you play side by side with the current incarnation of AH. Kinda like the old Hi-Res patches we had way back in the day. I could be wrong though.

From: http://home.att.net/~Historyzone/Seversky-Republic8.html
The first chapter starts here if you want the P47 story: http://home.att.net/~Historyzone/Seversky-Republic.html
"
The XP-47N took to the air for the first time on July 22, 1944. Test comparisons were made with a P-47D-30-RE throughout the early portion of the evaluation period. Much to everyone’s surprise, the XP-47N, with its greater wingspan and higher weight actually proved to have better roll performance than the D model. At 250 mph TAS, the N attained a maximum roll rate just over 100 degrees/second. The P-47D-30-RE could manage but 85 degrees/second at the same speed. At higher speeds, the N widened the gap further. In mock combat with a P-47D-25-RE, the new fighter proved to be notably superior in every category of performance. In short, the XP-47 waxed the venerable D model regardless of who was piloting the older fighter. The new wing was part of this newfound dogfighting ability, however, the more powerful C series engine played a role too. The additional horsepower allowed the N to retain its energy better than the older Thunderbolt. Perhaps the greatest performance increase was in maximum speed. Though not as fast as the stunning P-47M, the heavier N was fully 40 mph faster than the P-47D-25-RE and could generate speeds 30 mph greater than its principal rival, the Mustang. Scorching along at 467 mph @ 32,000 ft., the N could not be caught by any fighter in regular service with any air force on earth with the single exception of its M model sibling. This combination of wing and engine had pushed the N model up to the top rank of the superlative prop driven fighters then in existence."
"The testing program included determining the maximum range of the fighter. This was done with various combinations of fuel loads and external drop tanks. Ultimately, a test flight was made from Farmingdale to Eglin Field in Florida. The XP-47N took off with two 315 gallon drop tanks hanging from the under-wing hardpoints. Usable fuel in these tanks totaled 600 gallons. Added to the internal fuel load, the N eased off the runway with 1,170 gallons of fuel (usable). At a gross weight of 20,166 lbs., the Thunderbolt headed south in company with a P-47D chase plane. Arriving off the coast, east of Elgin in 3 hours, 44 minutes, the external tanks were dropped. Another P-47D, already waiting at Elgin, took on the N in a mock dogfight that lasted for twenty minutes. The throttle was advanced to military power for 15 minutes of this time, with an additional five minutes in the War Emergency Power (WEP) detent. After these fun and games were concluded the N was turned around and flown back towards Farmingdale. Heavy weather over Long Island caused the plane to divert to Woodbine, New Jersey. Having flown 1,980 miles, total fuel usage was measured at 1,057.5 gallons. There was still more than 112 gallons of usable fuel remaining in the main fuselage tank, enough for another 330 miles @ 1,700 rpm in auto-lean. The XP-47N was now the king of long-range single engine fighters (the all time leader of long range escorts was the P-38L-1-LO, which could claim a combat radius of nearly 1,500 miles under ideal conditions)."
Eventually 1816 P47N's where made before the war ended

Anyone who has an active account who was also a 1.x beta tester should be granted automatic acceptance into 2.x beta testerhood!
:D

You'll need people who can test other aspects like augering into various objects and the ground etc. Also, as I'm slightly below average skill wise I'll be needed to test combat against bombers etc. ya know, to get a different perspective n all.
So with all that being said, please consider me for beta testing.

There weren't any 1.x beta testers. 1.0 was the first release....the beta testers were flying 0.x
Picky? Well yes. :D

I might as well indicate my availability for beta testing.
I can test the "get shot down"aspect of AH2.
I feel very confident that I will get shot down within the first five seconds of any fight so that makes me a real expert...
So consider me for beta testing :D :D :D
-
well I WOULD LIKE TO be a beta tester for AH2 after all i am only 15 yrs old.... and i can do is play video games all day because am too young still to get a job , and well i play video ALL day thats how much i LUV VIDEO GAMES and i tink evry teenager loves to play video games so dont tink i am a the only nut that plays video games all day long !!!;)

Like Swoop said 0.## were the Betas and IMHO those who were in AH Beta should have a place in the AH-II beta too.
Like me :)

Yeah 327th, I'm 16, just left school, and got **** all to do untill like the end of September....

AS AH2 will be a seperate arena theres no need to have beta testers.
We will all test it when the arena is opened.
same as the first AH. They just started it up and we downloaded and played it.True it wasnt immediately on subscription as they ironed out a few bugs but that wont apply this time as we will still have the MA 'AHclassic' so theres no reason to ask for another free trial or for free testing etc.
As AH2 is a total addition to what we pay for now theres no need for beta testers.Everyone will want to play it as soon as its there and so you have 100% of people testing it for you.
having said that if they do do beta testing I like everyone else would love to be a part of it.Ijust dont think HTC will use them.
