ALPHA (fka Tech Alpha 2) Invite Emails

Featured Replies

The third in a series of threads about emails received (or not) inviting you to participate in the Flight Simulator test program. This thread is ONLY for ALPHA, which was originally known as Tech Alpha 2. Emails are due to be sent all this week (w/c 20th Jan). For those of us (ME! ME!! ME!!!) that didn't get an invite on the previous 2 invite batches.... here we go again.

I just bought my keyboard last year. I didn't think I would already be doing a durability test on the switches... Nevertheless, the F5 key gets another set of stress tests.

Nope. Now it's turn for +5.0GHz CPU.

Why do you say that?

Because he's mean 🙂

Still early in the US, so save your F5 keys for until a few hours later.

We have to warm up to maximize our refresh-performance.

Nothing is better than a good old disappoinment.

We've all got machines that can run P3D and are all enthusiasts - hopefully we get an invite.

What time zone are they following when sending out invites?

US PST.

I'd like to say I'm hopeful, but I'm beginning to get numb towards expecting to get in.  I think I'll stop checking my email so often and just let it surprise me if it happens.

Good luck to all, hope more of us sim fans here get in this week.

I signed up for Alpha a while ago, so I'm hoping my DNA sequencing rig will be enough...

If I don't get in, I'm going to assume it's because I'm not a pilot ☹️

I'll just have to try and get my I7 4790K to overclock to 5 GHz, now where's that liquid nitrogen.
