If it's on a closed forum that I don't have access to then it doesn't exist... Just open up the MSFS forum Asobo, even if it's read only access for non-testers...  What's the big secret? It's MSFS not something "important".

You mad bro? You need to get out more. Seriously, the fact that you are on a forum about make believe airplanes and getting worked up about fake trees is embarrassing to watch. Well, it's quite amusing actually.

Why oh why is there no setting that hides quotes of ignored users. 🤬

I think this is more about you not being in Alpha....and we'll just leave it there.

I don't want oversized trees (again)... been putting up with that for the last 10+ years in FSX/P3D

Most trees are taller than a Cessna. Some trees, not all, are taller than an A380. In my opinion.....

Did anyone hug a tree today?  Oh, go on. You know you want to.  But don't forget to put on your N95 mask...

Interesting that MS is targeting July for the Closed BETA, would that be an indication that an Open BETA might happen some time in the months to follow?

I love trees too, what should we do without trees..

[Carts85 1,203]

Didn’t they say they plan to get everyone in the alpha that has applied for it?... If that’s the case am guessing we’re all going to get access before July (closed beta).

[canadiantree 233]

Exciting news indeed. So what's a closed Beta exactly? And what does that mean for a future release date? I'mm assuming the beta timeline is shorter than that of the Alpha? What's after Beta? Gold?

[MikeT707 1,181]

I think Asobo have done a great job with the sim and I am totally looking forward to MSFS.

I do believe they will do something about the scale of trees, at least I certainly hope so and would love to hear from them that this will be addressed.

An accurate size scale of visual references such as trees is really important for virtual pilots because if gives the user a sense of how high above the ground he/she is, especially on a landing approach.

Thinking about it I’d imagine closed Beta will be open access to the alpha for all that’s applied. Closed to the general public still. Following that I guess it will be either open Beta and release or straight to release.

If it is to be release why have sept roadmap , some are reading it the way they want it to read, min specs answered when the list on the right in feedback snapshot says answered then we will be near release, what will the august dev roadmap say oct update?.

PS you can no longer see how many are registered on the insider forum who`s  in and when they joined so no more whinging, your not going to know how many more are signed up.
