Anybody else besides me who is not currently part of the Alpha get a "Share Your Alpha Update Feedback!" survey from Microsoft??? At first I thought, I must have missed an invitation email from them, but I scoured my inbox, junk mail, trash...anything I could think to search and nothing! I log into every MS Flight Sim web site or Xbox page I can find and, again, nothing...why are they torturing my poor soul! 😧

I received the same email, and I took the survey,there was answers in there saying that you weren't aware if you had the alpha or not.  But yeah I'm not sure if this was meant for us non alpha testers, I too felt tortured, especially when I got an email saying from the Microsoft flight simulator team ugh!

Some of us no alpha testers have received it. Others don’t. 
 

I just think that has been an unfortunate mistake. Because I don’t have anything on my insider hub.

Imagine if they thought they’d already invited us all along

I also received it, and filled it out. As far as I know, i'm not an alpha tester.

Make sure you check all your junk, or flagged email folders.  This happened to me the last time.  Got an email asking for my feedback, and I was not part of the Alpha group. Then found the invite in my junk folder, that was sent  4 weeks earlier...

Yeah I got it too, not an alpha tester to the best of my knowledge.  Oh man I hope I didn't miss an email...

Same here....nothing in any junk folder. Although it is where the survey email went tonight.

Crossing fingers.

It's ironic that I use an outlook email account but this microsoft email went to the junk folder.

Same thing for me.

I check my junk mail daily and always look before I clean it out so I can't believe I'd have missed it...

In my survey response I said that I hadn't downloaded the alpha yet because I didn't know I was accepted and then in the comments told them I would LOVE to be an alpha tester and provided my email address...fingers crossed!

EDIT: Hey what odds, two Haligonians hoping to get into the beta 😉

Same story for me as well - no indications I was ever invited (*including periodic spam filter checks), but I did receive the survey. Did the same as regis9 - in the survey I noted that I didn't know I was accepted and would love to assist the testing program if I could.

SCOURED the MSFS Insiders page to see what I missed... if a link was suddenly present... if the forums were suddenly unlocked.... but no.

I wager it was an unfortunate accident.

Oh well.

Did anyone get else this email not, too?

I know the Asobo team reads these forums so maybe they’ll take pity on us and let us in.
