Thank you big time ED!

I know but that's the hard truth, the term Beta should be respected and not just kind of a throw around term for another version/build.

You have been infact blessed by the developers for not having to be bombarded with disclaimers and legal text for using OpenBeta as I think I already mentioned long time ago that It seemed to me the builds aren't distinct enough. I think it's about time that changes and it can be done as annoying-less as possible hopefully with understanding of the community, and this idea is for the good of all parties, my intention is not to be some wise guy saying this, I ultimately I care for health of the whole operation, so it's not like a demand it's more of a really good friendly advice I'm talking about here ...

 

Maybe there is something already and I didn't happen to go refresh on that, I will later, I more mean that it should be notified, because in court you can argue all sort of things "I wasn't informed enough, ... OB looked the same as REL, ... hell do I know, I'm not a computer person"

 

If one huge youtube channel does a review on DCS, you have a million people coming your way, you want legal cover regarding OB IMO, and if it's already there ... well it should be in your face, who knows what could happen in future once core upgrades start landing ... weirder lawsuits have happend "I played OB and I didn't get my patch on time and im sobbing now in my LA apartment, want damages in X amount nau!"

 

And the perfect storm may be brewing, all the civilian aviation issues of automation unreliability, pilot shortages, 737-MAX 8 (

,

, fuel tank FOD) environmental concerns blocking expansion of airport capacity (eg. Heathrow), and the coronavirus, all those travelers will be flying on simulators at home instead! kinda lol Edited March 1, 2020 by Worrazen

Yes, I can tell they are trying to get things squared away.:beer:

At first the new lightning looked strange. There was too much glow. Well, there still is, IMO, but now that I played many missions under different conditions, I must say the new lighting is breathtaking! Sunsets and sunrises, but even at high noon. The difference between the shadowy and the lit parts of the cockpit...somehow it's now impossible to take a screenshot that doesn't look amazing. Well done ED! :thumbup:

It's your fault if you're using the Beta build for entertainment purposes.

 

OK, so the beta build is only for serious beta testers who raise bugs all-day.... give me a break.... ;)

DCS is a great simulation, probably the best out in the market. There is always room for improvement though and community members should not be dissuaded from criticizing or raising concerns, that's the way things improve and is often a driver for quality. If we enter a state where ED can do no wrong, we (and ED) have entered a dangerous place.

Great post. Congratulations and criticism should be treated evenly.

Totally agree. Without criticism, things will never improve. However, IMHO criticism needs to be constructive, focused and as specific as possible. If its not, then its just bitching.

Yea, if only they had an open beta so that the game can be tested and bugs identified. Then patched out to a stable build. Oh wait.......
