what would you like to see on Aug 15th?

As we mentioned in our July 25^th update, August is about setting expectations regarding our development process through launch. September is about defining how we will involve the community in that process.

 

That says that not much will be released in August. Do not expect much!

August - 'Setting expectations", September - "Defining how we will involve the community",  they are saying nothing-again.

The build program kicks off August 29 so unless I misinterpreted that some of us will have it in our hands soon and giving proper feedback. Did I get that wrong? People seem to be saying they are giving us nothing...

I think that Microsoft Team starts on 29. We, the community will be involved sometime in September.

This is the problem, we have to interpret what they are saying, like they talk in some sort of code.

It is at the same time brilliant and frustrating. This ambiguity is filling up all these pages.

Plenty of screenshots, a long video of in-game foootage and interviews with the dev. team.

First off, there is no problem with what we are seeing in the updates. The problem is we have members with expectations that at this point in time are unreasonable. 

Be patient and let Microsoft feed us info as they see fit. As I've said before, be grateful that they are including us in the process. They don't have to do that and they never have before,

Definitely want to see more screenshots and hopefully some videos as we go along.

That keeps the excitement high and really gives some visceral reactions.

LOL You lot have certainly let your imagination run riot!

They are going to deep dive into some of this stuff in the fall. The best we can hope for on the 15th August is an early preview of the development roadmap and maybe a couple of extra teasers and/or images.

Remember this period is about setting expectation, its pretty clear that's desperately whats needed here! 😉

To be fair..

Microsoft started the clock on all this with a surprise announcement and a video. 

I think they got ahead of themselves a little bit with when they decided to do that based on where development is at and when the release will actually be.

Actually, there was quite a bit of interaction leading up to FSX.
