1. Multiplayer - how is that patrolled? Do people just fly around not obeying any rules? What is the difference between Live Players and All Players?
2. Air traffic - what is the difference between Live Traffic and AI?
3. I am using a cloud PC, can I install this on Windows Server 2019?
4. I need to install 3 copies on 3 different PCs for my flightdeck setup. is that possible or do I need to create separate Microsoft accounts?
5. How easy it is to sync multiple sims? I really like the XP11 way of networking, rather then the ball ache of simconnect!
6. Can weather, traffic etc be synced without WideView?
7. How does caching work? My internet is slow, so can I download scenery beforehand?
8. What FPS are people getting?

Sorry, NDA isn't lifted for us Alpha/Beta testers just yet.

NDA not lifted at all, only a press/media embargo!

But what about all the Youtube videos? So basically instead of you guys answering, I need a Youtuber to answer my questions?

Look, it's quite obvious that the marketing for this is release is quite carefully managed. You can draw your own conclusions from that.

Not lifted the Youtube vids are released by MS for marketing.

May see a big push at the end of the month on XBOX marketing to get ready for pre-orders of the XBOX Series X.

Content creators are now allowed to publish some real content including gameplay footage, but within set boundaries. This is par for the course for Microsoft (and most product launches). Microsoft still wants to control the message. These people are still under an NDA, it's just a different one than the testers. 

Obviously I'm not privy to the specific terms of the embargo so I don't know if for example one of the YouTubers could respond to your questions (because they will know the answers to them), but Alpha / Beta testers cannot answer you. It's been made very clear that the NDA still applies to us.

As a fellow cockpit builder, I understand the frustration of not knowing whether or not you'll be able to use this new sim in your setup. However, what I can say without any fear because Asobo has already said it publicly is that this is not a new version of the previous FS family. Yes, there's FSX code in it. But it's not FSX vNext. It's a new sim, largely built from scratch. Home cockpit setups typically rely on lots of third-party add-ons and tools, as well as basic support from the sim itself. None of that usually exists on Day 1 of a new platform. The SDK is not complete yet (this was mentioned in the Development Updates so again it's public info). It will take time for the platform to be as well-supported as P3D and XP11 are today.

They’re not released by Microsoft. They’re all recorded by the content creators themselves.

Hmm, the PC Gamer articles have tons of info and videos. I just assumed that the NDA was lifted. 

Just the lifting of the press & media embargo.

Microsoft will have given them a sheet or certain things they can show off and talk about no doubt. That's pretty standard with these kind of integrations.
