Am I alone not to care much whether I am in the alpha or not  ? Good if am in, good if I ain't. Any case, the sun shines, the flowers bloom, the wild grass grows, the bread dough is rising and the cat is hungry. Plenty to do. Including waiting for the next IFR EP 😉.

 

 

I approve of this message

No, you are not alone. The reason why you do not hear a lot from those people is because usually you don't write much about things you don't care about. 😉

I feel the same 🙂 If will I get an invitation, it will be good. But if not any invitation, it will be good too, because I can still looking forward to release day 🙂

Dominique, I feel the same as you. If I get an invitation I'll be happy to contribute and, if not, there are many other things in life to be happy about.

I applied just like anyone else, but yet I couldn't care less just like you. I've beta'ed and partly alpha'ed the past few versions of MSFS so I kinda know how this is like, and TBH I am stuck with a quite old desktop here and I actually want to wait as long as possible (alap?) until I get the massive upgrade for the Golden Master. I'll be totally fine checking that one out, then on decent hardware.

I approve but I don’t share the same point of view exactly. I would love to get into the alpha and I think if we all received an email today we would all join so we all want it in principle. Some are more patient than others an some like a polished product over a rough diamond. But nobody is pinning there whole life’s on it (I hope) lots of things to enjoy right now in the world while we wait.

Twas tongue-in-cheek. I'd also  be happy to bother the devs to death with my pet peeves but in the meantime so much to do. Just off trimming a hedge under the Med sun. It is fun too.

I didn’t even apply. I’ve done Beta testing in the past, and it was not as fun as you would think. It feels like a job, and I don’t have that sort of free time. I can’t wait for it to come out though. 😍

Tbh I think a lot of your “pet peeves” have been pretty spot on so I’m hoping we both get in my friend!... The “med sun” never mind the alpha access that’s enough to get me really depressed here in the north of England, albeit not a bad day today no rain for a change!

Sourdough here, not fancy stuff. And remember, to get a good dough, you gotta have surface tension. Thats what MS is doing, isn't it.  To plagiarize a famous book title,  Bread Making  and the Art of Game Marketing.

I envy you, because I really care.  😟

I haven't applied for the Alpha tests, because I've been away from flightsimming for a few years and don't have much time properly testing all the features and bugs. Being an alpha tester is not about having access to the sim earlier than most, as some of the leaked video's seem to indicate. Some of them seem to have been made by people who have never flown a (virtual) aircraft ever before.

This will certainly sound like the fox and the grapes, but I'm glad I'm not in the alpha. I initially signed for the alpha, but then haven't completed the request, not having (at the moment) an apt pc.

I'm missing all the alpha phase, testing, bugs, etc, so my excitement is still very high, and it will be super higher at release and for weeks afterwards.
