How long does it take for a beta test ?

What do you want to see that wasn't in the shots we showed? That was pretty much everything.

I would like to see a screenshot of the rear part of the wing in flight. Sorry If I am asking too much. :( I am grateful for all the screenshots you already provided.thank you,Tino~

I think Tino means he'd like a video showing the wing flex, surface movements, etc...

No video, just a screenshot of the rear of the wing in flight. I feel like a naggy kid for asking :(Sorry,Tino~

Were now half way through February, for every request to see this and that, there are about 15 times as many who would rather have PMDG be quiet and get the project done. 5 minutes spent taking a screenshot, is 5 minutes longer without the NGX.

There's no set length - however long it takes for us and our testers to feel satisfied that the airplane is ready for release. Every plane we've done has taken a different amount of time.

is there a average amount of time it will take.

It depends wildly depending on the program and whether any unforeseen problems crop up. Beta will begin when it's ready, and end when it's ready.William Stroud

That was totally uncalled for. For someone like myself who doesn't post often, I thought I could get an honest answer. Not one like yours.Start being a little more friendly. I know theres constant requests etc, etc. This was totally legit. I wasn't asking for release dates.I wanted to see a screen because I was interested in the way with Wing looked while in flight. It would most likely spark cnversation about this bird, unlike your's which only causes confrontation.Tino~

I agree with this. The time adds up over time.

Nothing quite motivates like money, and perhaps money will grease the skids. Here's an idea (which is half-serious actually). Perhaps PDMG could auction off shots where the requested screenshot scene goes to the highest bidder. Want a shot of the high-pressure turbine blades in the galapagos at high noon on Christmas? Be the highest bidder and it is yours!Before you dismiss this idea as a total joke - consider how we might get some fun and funny shots out of it and build excitement for the release (which was foiled by Aerosoft with the J4100). I'll start if off. I'll bid $20.00 US to see a reflection of Robert in the PFD as he bounces on the pogo stick in the Captain's seat whilst chugging a beer (hey, it's a sim, FAA rules don't apply).Feeble attempt at comic relief: :(

LOL!! You made me spit my coffee everywhere ;)Tino~

Tino, Never ment to be rude or create confrontation,. I understand you dont post here often, and to be honest, you can see that I dont post here that often either (That doesnt mean I don't lurk here often). The point is, If PMDG is not going to provide you the screenshot of the way the wing looked in flight, are you not going to purchase the product? Im am not trying to single you out here by any means, just understand that for everyone who wants to see this and that, theres upteen amounts more of people that would rather have PMDG work on the project and are lurking quietly in the shadows. I will not speak on behalf of PMDG but Its obvious in several posts that you can sense their frustration on this topic as well. We can all agree that we have been more then impressed with what we have been provided so far. The NGX is going to set the bar so high, it will never be touched outside of PMDG, and lets be honest as flight simmers who probally have purchased several various aircraft addons, we have settled for alot less, and still enjoyed it. Were from the same city, sorry if we started off on the wrong foot, us local FS'ers need to stick together.
