Doesn’t appear to be happening? Should we be worried?

Well, still over an hour until midnight in France. So there's technically still time yet. Might just be delayed.

Think it is MS who release it? Doubt the French will be working at this time.

It's just been released

hmm....did they roll tech 1 in to tech 2?  No updates about tech 1 unless it's coming on the insider page in the next few minutes.

Tech Alpha 2 recruitment will open November 7^th

[ChaoticBeauty 6,692]

No, they just said that anyone who signed up for the Tech Alpha #1 will be automatically registered for the Tech Alpha #2, so you won't have to do that again. The first alpha build is still happening. Since the Tech Alpha #2 timeline will be revealed in mid-November, it could take place during December.

[KillerKlient 92]

Basically, anyone who didn't get into Tech Alpha 1 can now expect to be playing MSFS at the earliest in December IF you manage to get into Tech Alpha 2.  That's how I understand it anyway.

No mention about Tech Alpha 1 but pretty sure it will happen well before 2 as they originally intended.

Come on Microsoft, why did you even bother?

How about a few screen shots?

About what. No new scenery pics?

It's always a dangerous practice to set goals publically and then find yourself unable to meet them. It's obvious that this is what ASOBO is running into. Patience will be required so they can do it right, even if not when projected.

How many sleeps will it be?
