This week I implemented, more or less spontaneously, one of the most radical changes in the history of AirlineSim. This change was – just as spontaneously and also as an answer to some elementary questions on AirlineSim’s future – decided on the weekend before, at the weekly AirlineSim team meeting. Accordingly, I want to inform all players who aren’t participating in the current alpha test about this change and its impact on the game.

Alphatest for 1.5 is about to begin
Monday, March 1st, 2010
We just finished sending out the repsonses to the many applications we received for the soon-to-start closed Alpha test. Those who were accepted received an email containing all the details you need to get started. Please note that it might take a few hours to days until we have prepared all the involved systems for the test.
Overall about 100 people applied to take part of whom we picked 25 lucky individuals who will be taking part in the test. The effort and detail many of you put into your applications was amazing and made it tough for us to decide. For those of you who received a rejection let us asure you that your effort is appreciated and that you should definately try again next time!
Just to point this out once more: We picked the candidates by several factors including technical specifications of the employed client system, experience level (both “high” and “low” are important), previous testing experience and others. Of course a certain random component was added as well to ensure a broad mix of different combinations.
This Alpha test is intended to prepare the next major milestone of our airline simulation for a public Beta test which will hopefully start within a few months time. For those of you who cannot take part in the tests themselves we will provide as many details from the test world as possible.

Coming up: Closed Alpha Test for AirlineSim 1.5
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010
The application period has ended. Please do not send in any further applications.
Most of you are probably aware of the fact that we have been hard at work to finish AirlineSim’s next major milestone, namely version 1.5, which will bring along features like an advanced flight planning system and the integration of alliances into the game (finally!), among others.
Of course we won’t let these new features slip into the wild untested, so we are organizing a closed alpha test. This means we will grant access to a bleeding-edge development version of the airline simulation to a selected group of users which will allow us to do final tuning and polishing before the game is releases as a Beta. If you wish to participate, please find all the details after the break!
