March 12, 20206 yr March 12th, 2020 Development Update “Either the grass/weeds are too big or the plane is too small. Hope they can fix things like this before release…” Avsim User Fix grass. Check. MSFT The team has been hard at work on a number of key deliverables we’re planning to release in the near future. There are a few updates we wanted to make everyone aware of: March 19th – EPISODE 8 (Multiplayer) will be released. March 19th – DR roadmap preview for April/May will be released. Early April – EPISODE 7 (IFR) will be released. Early April – Partnership Series update will be released. ALPHA BUILD UPDATE The upcoming Alpha build update is currently in release testing. We expect to provide a release date and build notes in our next update on March 19th. ALPHA INVITATIONS For those of you that have not yet registered for pre-release build testing or that have registered but would like to update your DXDIAG information, we will be opening registration on March 16th. On March 19th, we will provide an update on our invitation timeline. EPISODE 8 (MULTIPLAYER) IS ALMOST HERE! On March 19th, the team will be releasing the next episode in the Feature Discovery Series (Episode 8 – Multiplayer). In this episode, we’ll take an in-depth look at the multiplayer feature in the upcoming next generation of Microsoft Flight Simulator! EPISODE 7 (IFR) COMING IN EARLY APRIL. FEEDBACK SNAPSHOT We have released an updated version of the Feedback Snapshot! Head into the Insider Area to check it out. SDK UPDATE The SDK is now being used by over 50 companies and hundreds of programmers and artists. We have spent time listening, discussing and learning from our 3rd party developers, and we are working closely with them to keep improving the tools. The new aircraft editor is close to being finished with several improvements to the workflow. We also made lots of progress on WebAssembly support, which is the technology that will allow the porting of native code to our platform. We are excited to share what we developed with our partners within the next few weeks. Several 3rd parties have started to share the roadmaps with us and we happy to report that dozens of planes and airports are in development and we are hopeful that quite a few of them will be ready by the time our new simulator is released.

March 12, 20206 yr word not allowed, they even added some colour variation to the grass. It looks phenomenal.
March 12, 20206 yr So everything important will be delayed at least for a week (or more) again, and those who signed at first to the alpha will have the same options than those who sign next week, again. With this and the CoVid19 spreading around my country, this week its being an absolutely mess. Edited March 12, 20206 yr by aleex

Hm which Palace is that in Japan? I'm going to assume Tokyo, but it could also easily be Kyoto. Edit: Look at the google maps, I don't think it's either. Edited March 12, 20206 yr by Tuskin38
March 12, 20206 yr MSFS can we have a little extra random nugget of big info to take our minds off this Corona Virus madness? An actual full small flight would do the trick I'm sure.

March 12, 20206 yr According to the Feedback Snapshot they are working on tree scaling as well. Rest assured they are continuing to listen. 7 minutes ago, aleex said: With this and the CoVid19 spreading around my country, this week its being an absolutely mess. I feel you, situation is quite scary in here as well, with most infection cases converged around my hometown. Things like these weekly updates help lighten up the mood, though I'm not saying an Alpha invite wouldn't help more... 😉 It could actually be a good idea to add more testers now that most people are staying home and probably have more free time to test.
