Info about Beta testing

[Payden]

thank you Sami  got it and sent in 

[Sami]

Perhaps due to summer time and holidays the number of sent beta applications is at the moment lower than I expected. The invitations were sent to roughly 670 people and at the moment there are approx 300 beta applications in the system. The time to reply to the invitations has been one week as the group must be collected before beta starts but I have now extended this time for a few days.

So there will be probably one more public invitation round. It will be announced at the website news and at the forums here and the fastest to reply (=to send an invitation) will be accepted, if they fullfill the requirements of course. But this will be announced separately later on if it will be needed (so don't ask yet).


--
And also - some 50% of already sent beta applications have been processed, others will be done during this or next week.

I'll wait as long as I have to. Just please start the beta games before September 1st.

I think the summer holidays have less of an impact than you would expect. I think the waiting time might be to blame. People get all excited over something and then they have to wait a long time so they forget about it. It is no criticism it is a sign 'o' the times. People are getting extremely short attention spans and rush from one hype to the next.

Im sure that Sami posted that people are not to ask when beta is happening? It hasnt been decided yet. So please calm down you have been selected to be beta, yay be happy, but there is no need now to harrass sami while he works on the final preparations...If you havent been selected, then there is a link in the previous post for people to apply for beta

2 weeks is the preliminary stated in a previous post

[Sami]

heya,

yeah, the 2 weeks was the first approximate time what it takes to process the applications. That has been done now however (not the last batch from the public list though).

Beta itself starts when software is ready for that and each beta member is getting an email about that when the time comes. Until then it's really unnecessary to PM or email me about that as the instructions have been most clear.

Updates on the beta status - I need to finish couple route related pages and then it's prettymuch done. Aircraft class configuration (adjust number of seats etc) won't be in beta yet though.

Hoping to get the beta started in a week or two. Again beta testers will get email from me then...
