Perhaps it has something to do with this?

 

Looks like it’s the unveiling of the new Thrustmaster product line the TCA Airbus licensed sidestick and Quadrant to follow. Looks pretty nice from first impressions and very reasonable price. No review yet though to fully judge it.

Indeed it does...Press Release...Now released!

I filled out the form.  I'm a Youtube content creator but I have a motovlog channel, not a flight sim nor game channel.  However, I've been contemplating starting a new MFS focused channel after release.  Nothing too fancy, just making videos showcasing scenic bush flights around the world in the new MFS.  It might be a lot of fun!

The latest Alpha is a big improvement, but a few Biggies still need fixing.

Trees. You're talking about trees.

Feel free not to confirm or deny 😉

Well it could mean that but I was actually thinking something else.

Regardless, many people in the MSFS forums are super impressed with the latest Alpha build.

The alpha is still a work in progress and I doubt they'll be lifting on the NDA anytime soon. Releasing the beta would make more sense.

I don't know, after seeing the leaked vids on that Chinese Youtube site, MS might have decided to simply lift the NDA since stuff is leaking anyway.  Because lets face it, the sim looks great enough that these leaks are only helping to promote the game, not hurt it.  Maybe MS decided it's just easier and more beneficial to lift the NDA rather than try enforcing it?

Complete speculation of course, but I could see them actually going this way in all honesty.

I'm testing so take my word. There's no way they'll be lifting the NDA and providing alpha copies to YT'bers. The alpha is strictly for testing, not for streaming.

That's great news.

How about you?

"No review yet though to fully judge it."

Actually I have already seen three reviews of it on the tube. And they have mostly good things to say about it.

Highly doubt Alpha. Would make sense there is a preparation phase for CC's, likely some point in the beta.   Would be very odd, to suddenly invite CCs/Ytubers, and say suddenly go to it. Show what you will.   Would wreck the whole process going forward IMO.

Im sure they will be plenty of opportunity to show in an open beta. Part of the marketing campaign. 

Well you know that most big YTers will have first glance anyway. us, lower level pawn will have to wait before we can release content.

The alpha is essentially test software that has missing/added features every build so it's incomplete and open for criticism. The last thing you want is a YT'ber criticizing your halo product before it's even in beta.
