How you become a beta-tester for PMDG products, and are more beta-testers required??Through my company I have regular access to B737-700/800 & B747-400 full-motion simulators; very useful for comparing the PMDG products with the 'real thing'.Also, we employ about 30 airline pilots to operate the flight simulators for public & corporate visits on their days off; the B737NG and B744 pilots would also be able to provide useful feedback.James Stevensonhttp://www.virtualaviation.co.ukPS: Our NG pilots love PMDG users as they can just sit back and let them get on with it!

It's all about soft-money contributions unfortunately... :D ;)

already reading the 744 manuals ;)

I should add that I am already a beta-tester for PSS A320/A330/A340 -along with everybody else who buys their products!!!

>It's all about soft-money contributions unfortunately... :D>;):-lol I don't even want to think about how much I have given PMDG over these past months so I could be a beta tester. I wouldn't want to miss one of the monthly payments, RSR might send one of his hitmen after me to get his money ;)(Disclaimer: The above was said in jest, and is not meant to be taken seriously)

"I desire to be on a Beta Team" general hint list1] Spend way too much time on forums talking positive about the company's products and be informative with a lot of ;-) in your posts.2] Send the big honchos in the company gift certificates to Hooters.3] Make your own T-shirts with company logo and post screenshots on the every forum known to flight sim community.4] Talk like you're already a beta tester and really know what the heck you're talking about with diagrams copious notes.5] Last but certainly not least, pucker up with a smile ;-)Best Wishes,[h4]Randy J.

Randy, what does this one mean? :)"Caution! Not a real pilot, but do play one on TV"

It means that although I am not a real pilot, my participation with the 737 NG is good enough to pass my sorry butt off as a suedo pilot in chaps.Best Wishes,[h4]Randy J.

.... er... if all that fails, tell them you're a real Boeing 747-400 pilot/engineer/flightplanner willing to spend up to 16 or more hours a day testing/researching/fault reporting/etc.....even though your wife/girlfriend/boyfriend has just threatened to leave you :(Cheers.Ian.

Hehe i must say i agree with you Ian! I wandered off to Beta-land a few years ago and i ain`t going back! it was like having two full time jobs!RgdsKevin

you should try developer land, its even worse!good fun though!

I'm actually a 737 and 747 pilot. Along with certifications in airships, single engine, twin engine, 3 engine, old and new planes with approximately 25 000 hours in EACH aircraft. Thinking of quitting to become a beta tester. Beta testing is my dream!!!Do I qualify??PS. The above is all a true statement. Now if you all excuse me, I have to email the easter bunny, the tooth fairy and santa claus.Goran (I never lie) M.
