Tech Alpha 1 2nd Wave Emails

[Quasimodo 505]

Just checked my email for the last time. 😭😭😭🤬

[Bert Pieke 7,611]

[zemez 184]

Day one registration and not In. I have to say that Im very disappointed 😞

Now most of us have another week of waiting and checking our inbox, Alpha invitations are starting on the 20th.

Those who registered for TA 1 but didnt get in should get a guaranteed access to TA2 (Alpha). I know some people, who registered for TA2 and got accepted into TA1 which majorly sucks for some of us who registered day one for TA1 but didnt get in.

I think they were looking at specific hardware requirements from both Aplha 1 and 2.

They could have given some indication as to what those requirements are. I have more than one PC that would happily run the sim and I could have registered with the one that was closest to their needs.

A little miffed, but still positive.

Y'all here losing hope with 16GB RAM's while I applied with my laptop's intel HD shared graphics lol. I don't expect to receive any invites though so it's all good.

Been part of all Flight Simulator betas all the way up from the early 90's, but this time no way, unfortunately. Even updated my poor 8 Gb to 16 Gb, hoping that would contribute to get me in. Not so far.

Anyway, it probably makes me one of the first to start spending add-on money on a sim I haven't even touched 🙂.

No joy for me and thought my machine would meet requirements so not all about 16gig I registered day 1 as well .

[boeingcorp 11]

no email for me i have 16gb, i5 6600k, NVIDIA 1060 6gb, none of us know what if any requirements there looking for including hardware specs they probably had a huge influx of testers that the probability of being selected is like finding the golden ticket on Willy Wonka, i also signed up on day one.

I have multiple gaming computers as well ranging from Highest spec to lowest, as a general rule always use your highest spec machine for beta testing, your chances will be higher, although it is like winning a lottery in a game this big with high anticipation and participants.

If you haven't been invited, it doesn't automatically mean that your PC is too bad.

There will definitely be an alpha build for the worse hardware.

Did you all receive a confirmation email after registration? I have not received any, my friends didn't too.

I just read on Reddit that others had received one.

Got an email when registering for the forum but not for registering for Tech Alpha. The only other one was on 17th September stating:
