In light of recent health concerns, we’ve asked the team to focus on their health and well-being. As a result, our normal development updates will be scaled back over the next few weeks as we continue to monitor the situation. On behalf of the entire team, we express our sincere apologies for the impact this decision has on our community. We will do our best to continue providing status updates, and look forward to resuming regular postings in the near future.

- MSFS TEAM
   

NEXT UPDATE WILL CONTAIN:

  • Timeline update for pre-release build testing (e.g. Alpha, etc.).
  • Update on a new Alpha build that is coming very soon.
  • Update on next round of Alpha invitations.
  • Feature Discovery Series Episode 8 (still tracking to a March 12th release).
  • DR Roadmap update preview for April/May (this is going to be worth paying attention to).
  • Feedback Snapshot update preview.
  • Partnership Series update.
  • SDK update.
  • Feature Discovery Series update.

  

Some big things coming on the horizon!

In the meantime…

 

MORE GREAT SCREENSHOTS FROM ALPHA PARTICIPANTS!

The screenshot by, djays72, I think is one of the places from a Battlefield 1 Map. Either way, the detail is breathtaking!

Hopefully everyone is okay regarding the health concerns. Not sure if that's Covid-19 related or something else.

Fantastic shots, stay safe everyone, that's the most important objective!

IFR episode was originally planned for release today, but they switched with Episode 8: Mulitplayer and pushed back the release date to March 12th.

Beautiful screenies! I’d love to see an alpha tester screenshot flying the 747 as I don’t think there’s been one yet

I feel like they turned up the heat with this batch of screenshots. Really impressive how they're bringing the world alive in all its variety. I would love to see that restless sea as a video clip.

I predicted coronavirus will cause delay, everyone laughed at me !

A lot of things are coming next update.

Just wonder what they have prepared for April/May 

The shot by JonasAlexander2. What amazing clouds. Truly realistic.

I’m most impressed by MoMedia’s water
