October 10, 201015 yr Well, I mean, alpha stage means that they are adding new features, beta stage means that all features has been added and now there's only bug squashing left. A release candidate is technically a beta too, but you very rarely see only one release candidate in big commercial projects. Releasing multiple RCs will surely take more than one or two weeks
October 10, 201015 yr i might be terribly mistaken.. but i don't remember the beta for the 747 and MD11 lasting much more than a month. :/ oh well... dosn't change much. it's sunday evening, let's open a beer (or two) and wait another week :-) Luca Benelli PMDG & WX Radar? read here
October 10, 201015 yr Author Commercial Member Luca-The PMDG 747-400 for FS9 was in beta for approximately five months.The PMDG MD-11 was in beta for approximately three...Neither statistic is valuable in this case, however, as we have a completely different testing process now than we did for those projects.

October 10, 201015 yr LOL RPRIEVER. I don't think he gave us the data so we can project our own conclusions. Although I hope you are right about the one month thing. I really think they are playing the cards close to the chest (at least that is what I am hoping). The VC shot looks pretty darn advanced at this stage of the game. All we can do is hope though.

Not one :) Eric Bocaneanu ROvACC Director
October 10, 201015 yr Just curious,,, every team seems to have a team lead, so who would be the master on the beta team? i9 10920x @ 4.8 ~ MSI Creator x299 ~ 256 Gb 3600 G.Skill Trident Z Royal ~ EVGA RTX 3090ti ~ Sim drive = M.2 2-TB ~ OS drive = M.2 is 512-gb ~ 5 other Samsung Pro/Evo mix SSD's ~ EVGA 1600w ~ Win 10 Pro Dan Prunier

Scrolled down one line, and BAM! There it was!Thank you for humoring me RPRIEVER. Alex Maxwell Gunther

October 11, 201015 yr Today (It is today now), there is a 1.235% chance of it being released. Next month that bumps up to 2%. On December 30th, there is a 50% chance. What that means is that no matter what day it is released (minus 12/31) you have beaten the odds by having its release date happen when it is less than 50% probable. So be happy!

October 11, 201015 yr After a comprehensive analysis I concluded that the beta test will be 1 month and 1 day (plus a few hours)... George Golas ---------------------- I hate gravity!

Not one :)Ok I actually thought I was not into this type of posts but I have to correct you in this case (or offer an alternative scientific approach, so to speak :():The reduction from 5 to 3 months means a 2 month reduction. 2 months less from 3 months would indeed mean 1 month. LOL :((sorry, couldn't resist)(but as we all know, it will enter Beta bug-free, so the Beta will in fact last only 24 hours maximum)
