Beta Testers and.............Bribes?

Featured Replies

Ok im from South Africa, and as you know or dont know its the southern tip of Africa, and here if any of you read the news its corruption paradise :Worried: , well sort off, probably more north of our borders.

 

So a fun question, and Beta Testers dont need to mention any names or users, but i would just like to know whether any of you were offered any "incentive" from anyone to have this awesome aircraft mysteriously arrive on their hard drives?

 

:Big Grin:  Please its a fun question and no malice is meant through it!

 

P.S. my F5 key is now worned out and i had to order a new one from Dell, i wonder if i can deduct it from my little cash incentive i will be giving PMDG via their website in turn for that 777! :Whistle:

Several of the team members were approached, yes.

 

...and as a PSA to those geniuses who want to try in future releases:

 

The team reports being approached up the line, and measures are then taken against the originator of the unsavory proposition.

OMG!  You can't be serious Kyle?!  Who in their right mind would even think to do that?

So then if its reported up the line is that "user" then excluded from purchasing this beast or any future versions of it?

 

Kyle, so you have answered my suspicions then, thanks for the answer.

 

Oh and by the way, thanks for all those videos i think i have used up all my bandwitdh on my Ipad and even my wife now knows exactly how the systems work and how to set a hold etc, and she likes your dog!

haha - one guy was trying to tell me he was joining the Beta team and that he couldn't tell me what his connection to the team was.  I just said "well, I guess I'll see your emails as part of the discussion tomorrow, then!"

 

...but I was really thinking:

I'm not sure.  I'm guessing it's all to do with whatever the line of communication was.  So if it were here on AVSIM, I think something like would be a violation of the forum rules, which means you get hit with the ban hammer or something.

haha - you're welcome, and sorry...sort of  :wink:

 

...and I'm sure Indee (aka "Homeslice") would like all of everyone here, too, but only after initially growling and barking at the door as if he was at all intimidating.

HI!!! HI!!! OMG HI!!!

I believe FS2CREW DONT HAVE THE 777 YET, although they could be keping it under wraps; not likely though

Correct, sir. This is the thread in question for those who haven't seen it.

Wow. I don't understand how he thought this might get through you.

 

Did anyone try to offer, shall we say, more substantial incentive? Would testers be at liberty to say? Or Ryan or Rob?
