April 2nd, 2020 – Development Update

I am worried about the clouds. They are not bad seen from afar, but according to the photos, the closer they are, the more they resemble a mass without many nuances. Many clouds (not all), even up close, have their edges trimmed, and when we dive into them they present high contrasts. Fligh Simulator is being a fabulous gift of illusion, but I do not understand how detail increases with a mountain and not with a cloud, when it is with this that we are going to interact with the most. From afar, the clouds are fabulous, but how close? And within them? someone understands me?

Microsoft:  "Please release it, let it go" 

I can't wait much longer!

Please don't release it until it is ready.  Too many games have died because the initial reviews were bad, even though the later patched those issues.  No Man's Sky still gets bad press to this day because of a bad release.

My brother has Coronavirus, confirmed by testing. On 3/26 he almost didn't survive the night.  He had extreme trouble breathing and was given a steroid inhaler.  He was very weak, had nausea, and other issues that aren't pleasant.  As of this update he is feeling much better, and seems he will be fine.  Stay safe out there.  (Updated 4/6)

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

I think you mean depth of field, much like a camera? Nice to see we have that option.

Agree; it is obvious there are plenty of bugs (as expected) at this stage.

You really think this sim will have bad initial reviews ? I don't think we live in the same world.

I am quite excited by the fact they will release such patch notes in the future this is excellent for a us mortals, thank you!

On another side I am now a bit worry about not being accepted in  the Alpha. @Baber20 is right they shifted the word "ensure" to"prioritize" which changes everything. Even if I am glad they are giving attention to the first of us, I would appreciate a little more consistency in their updates. Don't get me wrong, I just don't understand why they are shifting their strategy from a week to another giving us false hopes.

PS: this grass is a beauty 🙂

I was responding to someone that wanted it released now.  There are missing planes, missing features, bugs, etc.  

My point was, let's not push the devs to release before it is ready.

It looks like you have a problem then, because it isn't going to be released any time soon.

Thanks, we're indeed quite active!

And this is appreciated. 
Tom, could you pass on the message that it would be great if all the shots had the name of the place where they were taken in the their file name.

The old men on this forum know the feeling but there is a medication to alleviate the urge. Serenoa repens (Permixon) has been available for several years for the treatment of men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

Perhaps English is not their first language.

Dominique, you made my day 🤣🤣🤣

Id like to see shots from FL250+.

I think i have seen enough this kind of pictures.
Too bad they dont do videos. With Devs approval, there are a lot of testers, who can make short videos. Short full flight from airport to another. Landings and stuff...

Looks nice as well.

But some criticism: Those autogen houses could use a little more detail. Looks like straight out of XP.

Happy with MSFS 🙂
