July 29, 20205 yr 1 hour ago, Skywolf said: I want invite - how do I get access to this beta 🤪 Evidently one of the criteria is that you have to not give a toss about the NDA, nor for that matter really know much about flying aeroplanes, but want a go for free. Ability to rely on making poor landings on external view because you don't know how the avionics work is also an advantage. Alan Bradbury Check out my youtube flight sim videos: Here

I will pay top dollar $120 to become "public beta tester" that day 😉 18 minutes ago, Chock said: Evidently one of the criteria is that you have to not give a toss about the NDA, nor for that matter really know much about flying aeroplanes, but want a go for free.

Poor landings always happen in external view lol 😆 15 minutes ago, Dominique_K said: If you ask, you don't belong to it (an old Soviet saying). In Soviet Russia, I don't own the sim, the sim owns me. Was hoping Rob or some avsim mod would have thrown my name in the beta test ring for it. I figured MS team would have seen my posts from over the years and tossed me some bait to test something....I guess few more weeks is the only option left now.

In aviation there's something called "pay to fly" where student pilots are paying an airline to be allowed work for them in order to collect hours for their type rating. 😄 Edited July 29, 20205 yr by tweekz Happy with MSFS 🙂 home simming evolved
