PMDG does not have a Beta. They go right from Alpha to Ludicrous and finally to Plaid.

 

I used to think that, until I came here and started reading some of the posts here on the forum.

 

LOL

 

Whenever I fly in Europe, I usually have to use text because of their thick accent =)

I flew in Europe a few times and it was difficult understanding many of the controllers due to their thick accents on the radio and again

 

I often use text when flying in the US due to the controller's thick American accents.

 

C'mon guys, what is this about. Isn't it the accents that make the experience more realistic, like not having a Texan accent when appraoching Amsterdam or Frankfurt. Do you think in real life you will get American controllers when appraoching Paris or Rome?

 

I already see the UAL captain telling FRA or MUC appraoch "you rather have a thick german accent. please give your mobile number so I can text you"

 

Just my thoughts. Don't reply this post by telling me European controllers are still in Beta.

European controllers are good its just I personally have a difficult time since pilot clients and headsets are not as good as the real world equipment so the voice transmission isn't top notch. I even have a hard time understanding some US controllers although thats only once in awhile.

You must've never flown the ma and pa flight school special...

Just because it's 'real world' doesn't make it better than VATSIM.

 

I flew a 2004 C172S (yep 2004!) and the whole time I had to keep messing around with the radio to get it to broadcast properly. I was flying into IAD that day, too. Not a good time to have your comms get messed up.

I rarely have an issue in the rw but then again my flight school has an excellent in house maintenance department.

So, on topic, could Rob or anyone actually like, give a hint on beta? Can we maybe, possible think of flying her around Christmas? :)

Haha. Seriously?

Haha, knew someone would catch it :)

this afternoon 1830Z two flights to MIA with B772's BHI951 and AAL270

Gents, I have a sneaky impression it isn't that long...just my gut feeling..AAL270 wasn't a PMDG B772 Beta as far as I can find out but never know ;)

There are other 777s people can fly....just cause you see a T7 doesn't mean they're a beta tester

 

If I were a tester I wouldn't put that it was the PMDG I'd be bombarded with messages.

I thought everyone knew that PMDG kept the better (beta - get it???) testers all to themselves!!!

If someone wrote "level D" in their remarks would you think it's a new level D product? Regardless they're all under an NDA to keep their mouth shut.

 

Wishful thinking!

Plus would anyone believe that lol

IIRC, when they were beta-testing the NGX, there were reports of planes parked at the airports, awaiting the first glimpse of the aircraft.
