I was very happy to be part of Alpha after a long wait. With these annoying watermarks I just don't feel like testing anymore. It is a harassment for all the loyal fans who have followed the rules.

As someone who has not been lucky enough to get into the alpha, I disagree.

The point of alpha is to test the sim, NOT to have fun flying and take pretty pictures.  Mostly opaque watermarks floating about shouldn't take anything away from the actual process of testing.  If all you wanted was some free play time with the sim to have fun then you are missing the point of the entire alpha process.

My two cents worth.

I hope MS gives you a decent paycheck for your trouble then since Alpha testing sounds so miserable.

Believe me this should not bother "real" testers rather people that were looking for some flying fun with an alpha copy..

He must be flying the circle to land approach to rwy 08. Use the church tower as a visual cue to initiate the right hand base leg turn.

It would be nice if the challenges would also encompass how accurately you're able to fly some of these classic tricky approaches.

Wow... although I said I wouldn't buy anymore addons until MSFS is released, I was hesitating if I should get OrbX Innsbruck for XP - but this will be more than sufficient. 😄

Happy with MSFS 🙂

If anyone deserved to be kick out of the Alpha, It’s defiantly this individual! "JMPO" :happy:

... I expressed a criticism in my first disappointment - I am not alone with this. This has nothing to do with childlike defiance. I take back the word "chicane"; I also feel like testing again 😉
Dominque, I've been a flightsimmer since 1983 - like you. I'm not sure I deserve to be "stepped out of the Alpha". After all, I don't criticize every sunset 😉

Best regards

My dear Will, you wrote "I  just don't feel like testing anymore" and spoke of "harassment". Big words.  You sounded very much like you wanted to be out. Was it wrong to approve a post of a fellow poster saying that you deserved something you wanted 😇😄?

Anyway, I am glad you changed your mind.  Enjoy the alpha in spite of the visual  statics and do a good work for all of us !

Yes, you did, but why are you complaining to us here? There is nothing we can do about it, so go and complaining/criticize to the people that can do something about IT! I'm getting the extreme impression that this is just an ego trip for you. jmpo :dry:

Ooooh my god!

Innsbruck looks just amazing in this shot.

 

I'm curious how this exact same screenshot looks like when the area is covered in snow 😍

The same, winters are canceled due climate warming. 😢

Heh! 🙂

Given some of the record low temperatures we've seen lately I'm hoping they get this global warming business sorted before we all freeze to death.
