Steel Force Simulation

Has the first group of beta testing started yet?????

[randydorney]

From reading, there hasn't been any word of the first beta testers group at all or any announcement that they started on the beta testing. I would sign up for the beta list at the email sdt@themagical.nl to be informed of the beta testing and as well be part of the group.

My bet that it will be mentioning on the blog and website when it will be starting the beta testing. I myself is eager for it too to get it up and running!

[coasterluver]

Yea, I signed up and I'm on the Beta Testing list, I'm really excited to try it, I haven't gotten any emails yet though...

[coasterluver]

I had received an email saying tune in to the radio to see how to get the SF Simulation... Anyone else hear that?

[strwrse1]

I got that email too, but by the time I actually read it when I got home from work, the second time had passed.

[coasterluver]

I know… because of my demanding schedule I missed it too… does anyone know how to get it?

I'm not really sure what you guys are talking about. The simulation is NOT available yet, and I have not even approved it for beta testing. Could one of you send me a private message with the email and who the address it came from?

[coasterluver]

I just sent you a PM. I'm not sure why I received it if it's not ready… Hmmm

[randydorney]

Yeah, I got the same as well. Since its over the contest, I've read it was a static simulation preview since it was a introduction to the simulations of Themagical.

Looking very forward to the 'beta-ready' version though!

[dptalon135]

There was some poor wording with the email. The contest was intended to provide an exclusive preview of the simulation, but not a working version of the simulation.

Anyone know of a date for beta testing to come out? Can't wait!

- #SteelForceSimulation Check out this screenshot, which shows the latest build (20110523-004) http://t.co/76Ja0kZ

Here's the up close version of the build number: 20110523-004 (click on it to see larger)



Insight of current build: 201225-004

- Updated UI (User Interface) : From the last updated pictures you've seen the control panel have made huge changes. More shiny effect has been added and new modules information as well. It feels like a real ride operators control panel (which we try to make it realistic as the real life version).

- Control Buttons Tweaked (NOT FINAL) : The buttons you see above shows a slight change from the last public build screenshot. Though keep in mind, this isn't final until beta or even public release. We are still developing to the taste for all users will enjoy.

- Current Weather Module (Updated/Working) : Again, this too has gotten a major changed in appearance as well. This is working but its not shown in this current screenshot. It displays weather day/night affects. Currently still tweaking the coding to reflect the *simulation game experience. (*This feature may or may not be available for beta/public release. It will be an additional build update feature version once it debuts on Dorneyonline.com website)

- Park Operations Module (Working/Currently Developing) : As you've seen in the last screenshot public versions, this will be displaying many information for the "Ride Operator" as well alerts that's going on within the virtual park/ride attraction. *This feature will be giving insight to the ride operator to manage/change to the current simulation experience game play. (*This feature may or may not fully be ready to full potential once beta/public release online.)

Looks good... a cool thing that you could add is the enter and exit announcements when you load and unload... kinda like the real ride...

[dptalon135]

That's already in the plans .
