Title: Beta Questions.
Post by: Downtown on September 16, 1999, 10:48:00 AM
Pyro, HT.

What do you want us as Beta Testers to do.

I plan on saving all the (Current) program files I can on Zip DIsk.

What do you expect the download size to be?

Do you want us to archive any files (I expect not)

Will you have a page suggesting what you want us to look for or try.

Will there be a Beta Command Center, to try and handle hot issues.

Do you just want us to post Bugs, or do you want Say flight and sortie reports.

I am looking forward to using the BETA to provide you any information you feel you need to make this Game/Sim Better.

I will probably still provide you my opinions also.

Do you want to know what systems, operating system, modem type, Etc we are using.

Kinda a basic check list for us to start with or something.

SOon I hope, I am getting impatient.

I'd imagine they'll definately want platform info.
Also anything you can give them to re0create the snafu at the office...

Well we will be setting up new boards for just bug reports. The basic out line will be
1. Lock up or dump type bugs.
   This is our first pryority to make solid.

2. Game play bugs.
   Things like inviso planes,Acks not working right, kills not awared correctly, bullets not scorring damage correctly and such.Basicly anthing that has a big impact on game play.

3. Flight modling strangness.
  In the early beta piecess of the modling will not have been completed. Things like overstress air craft,detail crash or ditch stuff, neg g fuel starve and such. We will be completeing these threw the beta period.
But things that we belive should be working and arnt we need reported.

4. Small graphic problems.
  Things like sorting problems, Sounds not playing and other small abnormalityies in the graphic eng.

5. General game play issues.
  Is lethality to strong or not strong enough. How well is the field placement in the terrain done. Just general configuration issues but things that are not bug's.
