Release Date

[boeingcorp 11]

do you think MSFS will be released this year and when do you think it will be released

1. Doubt it

2. When it's in an acceptable state to be released, with a clear road-map.

I doubt it will be released this year. But I could imagine it going into public Beta.

Reckon Microsoft/Asobo will say they will release it in the Fall/Autumn, that will give them more lee-way in not defining a date, and so tweaking it a bit further.

Doubt we'll get it in the Summer, from what I can see, they just have too much to do don't they?

Maybe I'm wrong?🤨

Yeah, from what it looks like there still is a ton of work ahead.

I think they appear to be well enough on their schedule, despite any pandemics. 

That IFR presentation should tell us more, because of how it keeps getting pushed back. It's either they are behind schedule or perhaps they are trying to cram more features in. Similar to that snow surprise that we got. 

The increasing WOW factor week to week is a big deal with this project, its very effective, and a real joy to behold. But I must say that too much focus on screen shot/video taking by Alpha testers and not enough focus on testing the mechanics of the simulation could very well push the release date further into the future than expected, or result in too many bugs missed.🤓

They are already talking about lifting the NDA. Of course it will be released this year.

Released could be a public beta with a full release next year or it could be a release candidate. But noway do they keep this in private alpha until 2021. Bookmark me on that.

Could I get a source for this information? I did not see anything obvious on the official site that says this. 

[boeingcorp 11]

Sounds like a lot of nonsense! Your are stating nothing but an assumption based on rumors most likely.
