The alpha NDA will probably never be lifted. And why should it. What happens in Vegas....

As far as a bit of chaos among the testers, this is always the case when the end of testing arrives. Not enough fixed, not ready for RTM, what about the trees, blah, blah, blah... Enjoy the sim. It will get better through the efforts of 3rd party developers, as usual.

Have you visited their CTD thread? LOL

It does not matter what anyone thinks. Alpha/Beta/Gamma tester, or anyone else.  Microsoft have decided to release it August 18th. People will always be angry about a release date. You either buy it or you don't, your choice. Flight simmer's were also angry when FSX got released, but guess what, MS did it anyway. People trash all kinds of things they have already seen in the sim. Even more trashing isn't going to change my mind. I think it will be fine for me, and that's all I care about. Will I enjoy it and have fun, yes fun!

Go ahead and rant, I don't care!

The videos ive seen of the press release looks good to me. Drawyeh  has a 4+ hour flight in it on youtube..

And Asobo will have had another 3 weeks to work on it since then... My x-plane  CTD on me 3 days ago on approach.. In fact I just watched a stream tonight and p3d v5 CTD on him ...  that stuff doesnt scare me. Bring MFS on.

I've been in the alpha program and have a lot to say about their tester support and whole bunch of other things about how this thing isn't even ready, unless their RTM build is a magic build. Lift the d*mn NDA's already! 

It's playable. It's ready.

All CTD's don't get fixed while the the game is in lockdown. It needs to be released into the wild.

It appears that for some it is all consuming of their life or free time.

I quit my job to devote more time to playing MSFS. Some things are just more important than working....

May all your landings be safe ones!

Dom, you should know by know that Microsoft has no long term or short term commitment to an imaginary 'thing' that you call FS20.Very closed minded to keep on pushing your way. Be a bit openminded & call it what the owners of the brand call it.. The only folk who recognise the name FS20 are the Farm Simulator 20 people.

Microsoft has a 10 year commitment to what THEY call MSFS. 'Shrug'!

I support Robin's stance here. I see even this forum name has now had 2020 added to it. In just 20 weeks time, that name (FS2020 and it's variations...) is going to look so "last year". Back in the day, Microsoft used to append the year to their flight simulator product, 98, 2000, 2002 etc., but back then they were releasing a new version every two years. The name "Microsoft Flight Simulator" is timeless. Are you still going to be calling it FS2020 in 2026?

In the industry I used to work in, one of our competitors stuck a year name on their product, which was fine for the year that they released it, but 5 years down the track, customers perceived it as old and outdated. The company eventually changed their naming format to remove that perception.

If we're going to be calling it anything other than Microsoft Flight Simulator then I'm going with Sex-plane, as I quite fancy it 😉

And I'll expect everyone to know what I'm talking about....

I am not sure it means anything. It won’t be lifted but the testers will be able to comment the release with the background of several months of testing FS20. I would be surprised if they didn’t point out their pet peeves straight away or not to see stuff like : I’ve been saying that for months.

The way this is all shaping up, there will probably be tribunals against us Alpha testers because we didn't warn forcefully enough against preordering. 😅

 Ah yes another thing before I forget, good luck to the mods 😉.

I might be going to take an indefinite leave of absence...

...just kidding! But seriously, I don't really have all that much time these days to keep up with the pace.

I think I'll pitch the idea to management that perhaps we should have two sub-forums: one for the positives and one for the negatives...
