July 13, 20205 yr It seems the Beta will only be open to those who have the XBox Pass, which I guess you could purchase for $1 and then cancel after one month.

July 13, 20205 yr Microsoft missed a trick as far as I am concerned. They could have released it on August 29, and called it Judgment Day Christopher Low AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU / 64GB DDR5-6000 RAM / 12GB Nvidia RTX 4070 Super GPU / Gigabyte X870E Aorus Elite Wifi 7 / 1+2TB Samsung Evo Plus M2 Nvme UK2000 Beta Tester

IE, Lack of seasons/Stuttering etc. But they were also limited as to what they could say. All I can say as somebody who has been doing this for almost 25 years. I look before I leap. Nothing is gained from dumping a sim that works great. I'll buy MSFS and either fully move to it or I won't. But it doesn't have to be a binary decision. Absolutely. It certainly looks like a revolutionary product, so it's a pre-order from me today - haven't done it yet, got distracted showing my teenage daughter the new trailer, even though she says she "doesn't like planes and will never like planes". 🙂 But it's also clear that it won't be a magical, perfect product. No Track IR, no VR, ? no Vatsim, requirement for high-end hardware (most alpha testers seem to have had premium rigs), very short 2-week beta test period before release. And expect unhappiness from those with slow internet connections as well. And how long will it be until PMDG and FSL have their planes ready? If history is any guide, I would not be holding my breath.

July 13, 20205 yr 3 minutes ago, tripper721 said: It seems the Beta will only be open to those who have the XBox Pass That's not true. The 'Beta' in that sentence is referring to the the PC gamepass app, which is still in beta. I'm surprised no-one is commenting on the fact the sim appears to be coming with at least one real airline livery, Iberia. Edited July 13, 20205 yr by Tuskin38
July 13, 20205 yr So on August 18th does that mean the NDA expires and alpha testers are free to talk? 5800X3D, 4090FE, 64GB DDR4 3600C16, Gigabyte X570S MB, EVO 970 M.2's, Alienware 3821DW and 2 22" monitors, Corsair RM1000x PSU, 360MM MSI MEG, MFG Crosswind, T16000M Stick, Boeing TCA Yoke/Throttle, Skalarki MCDU and FCU, Logitech Radio Panel/Switch Panel, Spad.Next
July 13, 20205 yr Looking at my preview, it appears to be incredibly rushed. Maybe they have some hidden tricks, or this will just be "meh". Anyway time will tell.
