I dont think they can make the online any worse

If they can get the online to work better then it will make a big difference to how much I use phoenix, ive not used it at all this week.

[Brian Gifford]

Fingers crossed.

Thats quite a nice update.

When i first used phoenix i sent them an email about some Enhancements, one of which was to animate the blade pitch and fual capacity

Looking forward to installing it and trying it out.

any hints as to when it will be available?

This time I'll wait and let someone else do the beta testing.
With their last major update I felt they were abusing their paying customers to do testing work that should have done by developers. Sorry guys, life's too short for that. If you want me to do your work, you have to pay me. Not the other way around.

I have no idea how you see offering beta software to users for free is abusing paying customers?
Nobody is forced to upgrade or use the betas.

The final release updates are also free, so you're not paying Runtime for them either.

Seems like a very harsh post to me.
Cheers,
Rob

[Tim Procter]

Totally agree Rob.

Ask for your money back for the upgrade if you aint happy.

[adieuk]

maybe they need so see if any complaints are made after the update because there not sure how to fix it

Microsoft have been doing this same thing for 20 years.... Your choice to download as it becomes available.. or wait till others have played with it and reported back that its stable.

As for being paid to do REAL beta testing... that dont happen either! I have lost count the amount of beta testing i have done over the years. For your time spent running software and reporting back gets you a gold copy once its ready for release.
