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.

Better still, release build to everybody and we will stay home and lock the doors.... benefit for MS ? We live to purchase 

Make it available to the world (free for now) and help people stay home and avoid the corona-virus.

SAVE the world MS

ET Phone Home 🙂 What was his name, Elliot I think in the movie? Wonder if they saw the bicycle while up there 🙂 Really cool shot, the camera must be amazing in this sim. I have seen so many different shots then usual, or maybe I am wrong. And KTEX, YES! One of my favorite airports to this day because of the mission in FSX, landing the Learjet 45 at KTEX in FSX. And the mention of Career Mode, Missions, etc... Not saying Career will be in the sim, but it at least has their attention. Really wanted to see the Multiplayer video, or any long video really. But I can wait till they are ready. I am gonna go with, some of the smaller 3rd party companies or individual's that have the SDK will be first with a release of 3rd party content. A single team or small team, says what do you think? The other guy says sure lets do it 🙂 I am probably wrong, but just my thoughts, like a small airport maybe? But who knows really, except the people involved!

Nice shot of the Richat Structure!

Glad to hear developers have been using SDK for a while, can't wait to have major aircraft and airports ready.

I don’t share everyone’s excitement for aftermarket airports & scenery, unless they are global updates. I feel restricted to only fly in the updated regions otherwise and takes away the go anywhere freedom. Probably some ocd

Seasons?

I would assume that refers to the springs on the tailwheel in the foreground.

I prefer to call it cdo, because that way, all the letters are in order...

May all your landings be safe ones!

Great shot of the moon!  But... is that moon backwards??  Seems like I see that fairly often in games.  Hint:  if you see a rabbit with a box, the rabbit faces right.  If you see an old woman with a bundle of sticks, the woman faces left.

I've been saying the SDK already existed for a very long time now.  Glad to have it confirmed.  And 50 companies have it!  Too cool.

The short grass shot looks like a local airport.  DANG that's a lot of detail.

Incredible screen shots.  It just keeps getting better.

Yep! The image of the moon is reversed in the screen shot. It’s not upside down, just left/right swapped. Mare Crisium, the almost perfectly circular dark feature at the upper left should actually appear at the upper right.

That said, the tester who took the screen shot may have accidentally reversed it if they did any post-processing / editing of the image.

I feel so dumb

Thanks once again to the MSFS team for this week's update. Enjoyed the screenshots and this weeks news. Nice to see that another Alpha testing bunch will be joining the ranks of those already chosen soon, once again I'll hope that this time I get in myself, and that my PC specs meet the criteria needed to be included with the new group.

 

Really like the shot of the Cessna in the grass; can almost imagine myself walking through it and prepping for a local flight...

@simtom You earn another 🌲. Thanks for posting the update. I didn’t see you post it earlier otherwise I would have pined it earlier.
