Great news Harold. How much RAM does your rig have?

So did they send you the sim to download or are you still waiting ? I guess you can tell us that

I'm sure when that email arrives, it's bound to spread like wildfire around the communities.

Fr. Bill must have got his download link. He hasn't posted in nearly an hour after being pretty active all day. That's the last we will see of him for awhile. I wonder will he show up for Mass Sunday?🤣

Nope, no download link or instructions yet. The email I received said that the Tech Alpha build would not be available for some time yet.

Oddly enough I still have to produce work for my employer. My position here is completely voluntary and I can only spend x amount of time here.

We are currently wrapping up final preparations for build release and access. Though we are not providing build access today, you should expect an email in the near future with instructions for access and download.

haven't started yet so I would guess a couple of months at least..

Can anyone confirm a rumor that if you agree to accepting the MSFS tech alpha, you cannot have that installed on the same machine as P3D?

Haven't heard of that, but it sounds extremely bogus to me. If it really was a thing it probably would have been on the NDA during the sign-up phase anyway.

Definitely not true. No mention of that anywhere.

[FDEdev 955]

This wouldn't make any sense, since most likely at least 90% of the people who have applied for alpha are using P3D.
