The icing shot and DA62 tail shots are my favs... amazing!

Let's get those devs into that SDK pronto!

Look at the second post of the thread.

Asobo, please add an attitude indicator for the HUD. (I assume all of it can be toggled so it shouldn't bother anyone. And the surfaces don't indicate attitude if you're not in a pure chase view.)

Amazing pictures! Will we ever see some island shots?🙄

Definitely looks like there is some tessellation at work there, adding lots of little details to the ice. It has to be my favourite out of the set released today. I can't wait to do some scenic flights around New Zealand, exploring all the glaciers.

The glacier shot does look gorgeous and I can't wait to do glacier landings.

One of the best updates so far, screenshots, sdk news, feedback snapshot...

I like the fact we have a little information about everything.

Thank you Microsoft

PS: Making public for Insiders Alpha testers screenshots and reported issues is very kind of you and make our wait a little more easy

The image of the glacier, gorgeous .

Already I'm a fan of trekking in the great outdoors, but to see such a rendering of colors, it's just amazing.

This is a first, no, an official leak? I really like the humor associated with this development, Thank you Microsoft !

The only bad news is to have to wait until 9.1 for the next news. That it's going to be a long time.

so we're going to go back for 20 days of futile game pass and xbox debates with our troll guest. There's so much to say about the quality of this simulator, that we have to debate futile things...

could rwflush tell us where that glacier is?

Proof that the alpha is limited to a 50 mile radius!...oh wait.

The DA62 over the cloud layer is my favourite as I'm looking forward to cloud skimming with cool-e-o music in the background. 😎

And what's with the DA62 markings? "OE-VSB", not an Asobo "AS"? Haven't all the other images of planes had AS or am I imagining that? Is it simply showing that the user can edit their own registration codes?

I read somewhere that there is an Austrian dev in the loop

Glad to see helicopters made the wishlist.

The aircraft is bound to Gustavus RW 2 (which is awfully short as I recall), I would bet its a flight from Skagway to Gustavus over Glacier Nt’l Park AK.

The « subtitle » looks like an ATC interaction btw.

EDIT Weird purple/green colors at the bottom center of the picture.

There's a real DA62 with that registration: http://www.wildbergair.com/photos/airports/Austria/LOAN/20150328/20150328_VSB.htm

What do you suppose the users who took those screenshots were thinking when they were flying in those moments?  They almost all look good enough to be photographs unless you really took a magnifying glass to them.
