I’m all day on reddit looking for some leaks and I miss those ones :( but sound good. 

I imagine photogrammetry airports will looks different to autogen ones, but discovery series will clarify that. 

It was leaked on a Facebook group actually. 

I just want to be on the testing team. I've joined back in October and have seen others that joined when I did already testing.  😏

Well, a difference between 20 and 90 fps is noticeable unless you are completely blind.

Yeah it's very noticeable I'm not sure if that's what he meant, maybe he was talking about the physics, asobo said that even If you have low framerate the physics are going to be high framerate.

That only works up to a point though. When the frame rate drops too far, the feedback loop between user input and response from the aircraft starts to break, and you get into PIO (pilot induced oscillation). That happens in real aircraft too with response lag, but it's also a simulation issue when the frame rate drops too far.

It's why X-Plane starts slowing down world-time in the simulation when your frame rate drops below 20 fps, so you're effectively controlling a slower-moving and slower responding aircraft. It gives you just a little bit of a buffer until the aircraft can't be controlled at all. Meanwhile, the sim can be running multiple iterations of the flight model behind the scenes for every frame generated, but that doesn't help because it's the graphics hardware that can't keep up.

On the topic of NDA, when can it be discussed here? End of alpha? Beta? Release date?

There is no time frame or cutoff date in the NDA. No info released unless approved by Microsoft, so in theory you might never hear anything about the Tech Alpha unless MS says it's okay. It would be past history and not relevant anyway, by the time there is either a public demo or full release. 

The first rule of Flight Club.....

Is "Don't post screenshots of Fight Club on Reddit"

I'm seeing people on FB saying they haven't been able to get back into their previous sims since the alpha has spoiled them.
I'm guessing the alpha has the same content as the build at the preview event.

On the same post one guy mentioned that even the flight model is miles better than that of xplane and there is absolutely no reason to use xplane apart from the vr experience. Another one said that he deleted xplane.

Yes I have seen a couple guys who said they deleted X-Plane as well lol. Not something I would do in their shoes since they don't know if they'll have alpha and beta access all the way up to release.

Im not in the alpha yet unfortunately but the Microsoft forums user page reveals all tech alpha users at the moment.

Not sure if Microsoft actually knows this???

I will therefore not post a link here.

Maybe they want to fix this? Not sure if its done intentionally?

Or they just don't care.

If you are signed up you are there but you cannot read the alpha tester post but you know who they are a lot from Avsim,not a mistake it gives nothing away.

The usernames in the Tech Alpha forum are not necessarily the same as on Avsim, although some might be. If you had an Xbox game account with MS before the Alpha, that's the username that gets used.
