I’m sorry to say this but it is not fair assuming beta testers are not reporting nor documenting nor properly testing the beta and that they are not taking this seriously (I know for a fact). Also I’d tend to believe even if all the bugs which were reported during the beta aren’t addressed, if ever this is the case (hypothetically only because of NDA), there is still hope they might be addressed some day because they would be by now registered somewhere.
However as for the FSX team, at least the ACE studio leads used to answer my emails, to share their enthusiasm with Reality XP products and they were recognizant of the outstanding quality of our work and how much Reality XP was raising the bar for the simmers. I keep my mind open though.
