GSX - A new product from FSDT - Ground Services X

[space_coast]

So we can't expect a release this weekend neither?

[juniormafia27]

Well you said no one in the gaming industry. To me that includes all category. Gran Turismo....mobile doesn't quite stack up to Modern Warfare nor BF

That's more to my point: if even Sony could get away by releasing a less than stellar product with 5 years delay, it means anything can happen. And, in case of Sony, it's even worse, because many bought the hardware just on the promise of that game release...

The real issue is, fact that you cited two big titles that *were* released in time, doesn't change the fact the most aren't.

Originally you refered to "all"

Originally you refered to "all"

I've only said that it's just normal with any software not to be released in time, fact that 99% (minus BF3 and MW3, apparently) is, just confirm my point. Exceptions are made just to prove rules, the say...

And, of course, in case of GSX, we never committed to an *exact* release date: there was only "in 2011", which is as general as it can be.

As I've said, plenty of times already, it's being tested right now, and this time we are doing *serious* beta testing, because the product demands it.

What are the qualification to be a beta tester anyways? I'd rather be one if I can!...I can't handle the suspense!!

[juniormafia27]

Yeah I would like to beta test. Right now I am beta testing Microsoft Fligh. But rather test this.

virtuali i hope u understand that we all just cant wait for GSX gonna be a great FSX addon i guess we´re excited can you just help us sometimes with, for example some screenshots, passing the time?

Umberto undestands everyone would like GSX to be released and out; Part of the reality is beta testing determines how well the prouduct will be in various modes. With any software you have to make sure it is free of any "bugs" or "quirks". When the product is ready to be released, As a customer you'll receive a product that was worth the wait.

Let's see. First qualification to be a beta tester for most anyone is to adhere to any NDAs put into effect.

Looks like you don't qualify... Or am I missing something obvious? 

[theshack440]

Umberto and the rest of the team already assigned the beta testers and I bet they are already knee-deep (or deeper) in beta testing.

That wasn't part of their NDA....actually that is far as I can go....so yeah...you are missing something obvious.

Non disclosure means disclose nothing, Junior.  You can't even reveal that you are a tester.

While that's probably true in nearly all cases, doesn't it vary case by case? As in, the contract isn't necessarily the same for every NDA; or is it? So MS Flight's may not strictly state that you cannot reveal that you are a beta tester.

[Bruce Hamilton]

They don't physically mail you a paper contract to sign and return, but there is a verbal agreement between the developer and beta team members that they will not share the beta with others, and will not discuss what they are testing outside the actual beta forum.

again...not stated....however I am not the only one.  You do not have to explain to mean what it means either.  Unless you were the one that wrote the rule...it does not apply....case closed

unless you are doing the same you do not know what it lintels at least through this particular venue
