An Email from the Microsoft Store was received ( In French )  with the rather surprising news that there will be a delay with the release , and no specific new date or reason for the delay given , has anybody else seen one of these ?

If so please let us know ,  if this is verified / corroborated,  it is big news

Nope, no email about that for me this morning.

 

A delay now would be......disappointing.

I havent gotten such a mail in french or orherwise. Last mail was a couple of days ago confirming an August 18 release including Steam. 

Negative ghostrider. My inbox is empty.

Can someone give a screenshot of the mail ? I didn't receive anything

No email - I logged into my store account and see this >>>

The only reference of it I know is here post #5227

a big pinch of salt is recommended.
 

References so far were dated this morning , if this is real the process just started , at this point its speculation.

There are many pre order clients here at Avsim , I figure we will find out soon enough .

I have received an email from MS:

However, the release date on my MS page which I was directed to remains the 18th August

Someone on Twitch just told me that the time of release on the MS Store apparently changed by 14 hours from August 17th, 22:00 to 12:00 on August 18th for him.

Don't know if it's connected to that.

Not had any email other than the one I got originally some days ago confirming the purchase, i.e. this one:

Microsoft Flight Simulator: Premium Deluxe - Preorder
( Xbox Game Studios )
Quantity 1
Available: 17 August 2020
£91.66

A report of a price increase for the ultra package was made too , corroboration of other emails about the delay lends credence to the delay's veracity  with its extent as yet undetermined  , Interest will surely grow as the day progresses , I am off to get an umbrella and sit as far away from that big fan as I can .

A price increase will certainly cause a certain substance to hit the fan, but I would have no problem with a delay if it leads to substantial improvements or quashing “show stopper” bugs.

I'm interested where do you get these reports @Chuck_Jodry-VJPL because I can't find anything anywhere else. Do you have any screenshots ?

I cannot confirm the price change on the premium version , that may be a conversion or VAT issue causing confusion and am following these discussions in various languages , as an admin here I don't repost off other websites where confidentiality or specific interdictions do not allow it without direct permission from their directors .
