October 23, 20196 yr 'Twas the night before Alpha. And all through the web. Not a simmer was happy. Their hearts full of dread. Not a word yet from Lionel. Would he just leave them out? Would they miss the big Alpha? Their heads dropped to pout. When in their Inbox, There rose such a clatter, An Insider message, Their lives will now matter. On Froogle, On Ainscough, On Artwick, On Meyer, On ORBX, On Lurkers, And all the Sim Flyers. Will we need a new rig? Will our wives miss the money? Will there be a subscription? 'Twas not really funny. And I heard them complain, As they flew out of sight, "I need more Frames Per Second," "I'll tweak till it's right."

October 23, 20196 yr Inject too much humour and you'll be in trouble mate. You're treading a thin line. Nice one. The World is divided into two groups. Those who say "Give me a link" and those that provide the link. WWG1WGA
October 23, 20196 yr haha that's fantastic. At this point I feel like they're a bit delayed or everyone will get the confirmation tomorrow. Edited October 23, 20196 yr by Krakin 5800X3D. 32 GB RAM. 1TB SATA SSD. 3TB HDD. RX 9070XT.
October 23, 20196 yr If they stretch the waiting period for the alpha long enough people will probably end up being in a band singing folklore about the new flight sim 😄
October 23, 20196 yr The email. Where is it? Where is it Microsoft?! Ok, relax ... breathe. It will all be ok.

October 23, 20196 yr I have a feeling that for anyone who is a long in the tooth Flight Sim user; FSX, P3D, XP11. Members of AVSIM. It will be a while before any of us get our hands on an Alpha or Beta of FS20 IMHO. If you where Microsoft or Asobo would you give anyone in this toxic community an opportunity to bash FS20 before its generally released? I wouldn't! Don't forget we slathered MS Flight. I think current Flight Sim Enthusiast are only a small part of there intended audience. I think they plan to put FS back front and center in the gaming world. And I think they will succeed despite and in spite of any negative press from the old boy's club. I would say they are picking Alpha tester from the main stream gaming community not the niche flight sim community. That's why they asked on the questioner if you are a user of current Flight sims like FSX, P3D, X-Plane etc. So they could root us out!😜 Great Poem! 😁 Edited October 23, 20196 yr by Avidean
October 23, 20196 yr Yeah but how would they know what my gamertag is if it's different from my Avsim name? Muhahaha 5800X3D. 32 GB RAM. 1TB SATA SSD. 3TB HDD. RX 9070XT.
October 23, 20196 yr @David Mills That was really fun and put a smile on my face. And so true, how long you been working on that? Since 2006 🙂 Made my day, finally some humor. Of course it only took a few post here to get negative again.I think a broad range of users will be picked from all around that internet thingy. It's probably a random computer program picking people and they have no idea if they are on here or somewhere else. They enter whatever parameters they want picked and the program does the rest for them. Program give me a percent of people with LOW bandwidth, Medium, and Fast. Same with the PC system's, random program pick a wide range of systems for inviting people to the Alpha, etc, etc, etc... Of course I actually have no clue 🙂 Lionel may have a spreadsheet open right now 🙂 "Coffee, if your not shaking, you need another cup" Flight Sim Break Discord Channel: https://discord.com/invite/fCV62Ka2QZ

October 23, 20196 yr Administrators I got the email! It won't load!! When it does load, all I get are CTDs and freezes. I try to use Real World Weather and it gives me an error saying "check your internet connection". Oh, heck! I've accidentally been trying FSX! Never mind Charlie AronAVSIM Board of Directors-ADMIN/Moderator-RegistrarJust going to run a Chromebook and not upgrade to a Windows computer. Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱Trying to keep peace and harmony and the will of Landru on the site seems to be a full time job!

You can read the NDA from the tech alpha sign up here and come to your own conclusion. Personally, I don't see anything that prevents it, but it might not be a great idea to share regardless. People might spam you. 😄 Brandon Filer
October 24, 20196 yr Yeah, I did actually just read that and I don't see anything pertaining to that information, just wanted to be absolutely sure I didn't miss a phrasing somewhere that would get one kicked out.
