“DOES THIS MEAN NEW INVITES ARE ON THE WAY?”

– Reddit User

Not at this moment.

With the release of Alpha 1.2.5.0 yesterday, the team is focused on addressing any issues related to the download and install of the updated alpha build. Once we’ve completed that process (~ 1 week), we will focus on assessing the current alpha participation. We appreciate all the great community feedback from our posting of the Build Change List, we will continue to release these notes going forward.

– MSFS TEAM

 

Here is an update on the current postponed deliverables:

• EARLY APRIL – Feedback Snapshot update.
• MID APRIL – Partnership Series update will be released.
• LATE APRIL/EARLY MAY – EPISODE 8 (IFR) will be released.

 

ALPHA BUILD UPDATE

Yesterday we released Alpha Build 1.2.5.0. The detailed change list can be found here.

The team is currently focused on resolving any issues from the release of the latest Alpha build. We expect this process to take about a week before we will shift attention over to the Alpha participation.

For those currently participating in the Alpha, please make sure to check the weekly test requests post in the Alpha forums!

 

ALPHA INVITATIONS

 We are currently focused on Alpha release tasks and will turn our attention to Alpha participation within the next week.

1.  Ensure that everyone that received an acceptance email has access to the Alpha.
2. Assess Alpha participation options for adding more people as quickly as possible.
   • Prioritize access for those that registered early for pre-release build testing.

 

 

MORE GREAT SCREENSHOTS FROM ALPHA PARTICIPANTS!

This is interesting, I see the Cessna 152 which suggests these shots are from yesterday's build, but the addition of winter was not on the build notes. If all these screenshots were made in one day, good job for capturing all that footage so quickly.

First again CB, well done.

Could you delete the screenshot pls?

Was really hoping to get in this week...Also I noticed the change of wording from 'ensure' to 'prioritize'. This means people like me who registered early are still not guaranteed access next week. I did mention my doubts about this few days back. Looks like I was right. Nonetheless great update. Nice to see winter being added.

What does "pine it" mean?   It's like a pun on pin it?  Or are you pining for MSFS?

It’s an inside joke from another forum where a guy made a good post and one of the users said Pine It rather than Pin it. It became kind of a joke after that when everyone started asking for certain posts to be pined rather than pinned. The OP knows what I mean.

People are just loving those forced perspective shots, aren't they? Sheesh

Thanks, we're indeed quite active!

Once again, thanks for the new update. Especially liked the shot of Buckeye Stadium, showcasing an area not normally seen. Some more of those would be a nice surprise each week! 😉

Forced perspective? I don't really see any...
