Great idea!

Love the A10c beta, as I am sure I would the SOW one, if they would go down that path.

Sure, the beta can be distributed, but there security measures come into play. (online connectivity, limited amount of install, you name it)

cheers,

BP

you will have to work on your spelling skills first (two) proper communication is an imperative must have skill for all beta testers

edit:
i hope that your dozens of previous observations won't deter future update presentations, due to excessive whining syndrome

I'd be happy to pre-purchase SOW, BOB or IL2 ver. 4.11 with no beta or strings attached if it would help the 1C team.

Has anyone mentioned that the most likely scenario is that all of our opinions on this subject are completely and utterly irrelevant, the course of action long ago decided? If so +1.

Oleg will hold his cards close to the vest, he's way too smart to do anything else, considering especially how many times he's been burned.

Yup.

And even if Oleg had ever thought about doing this (unlikely), the attitude of the nit-pickers and cloudbase-spirit-level-appliers on this forum would guarentee that he wouldn't ask anyone who posted here to help. Genuine beta-testing, as opposed to 'let the fanboys have a look just for the free publicity' requires people who understand elementary principles about software, not egotistic day-dreamers...

Open beta is a bad idea for first release of SOW. Too many things have to be kept secret until the very end. There are wankers already trying to get their greasy hands on the SOW code for one reason or another. The later this loosers come in contact with the game, the better.
For addons after BOB, once SOW engine is known to the public, maybe.

In the mean time I have a blast with the DCS A-10.
