In this form of game development Alpha testers work for free and in the end do not even get a free copy of the release candidate? Way to go... There was some talk that we weren’t there to alpha\beta test the software, we were just there to stress test the servers. Who knows. It was an interesting experience unlike the other beta testing I’ve done.

They were never going to give away 16,000 copies of the game. As testers, we got the game early and did whatever we wanted with it. No one was made to test anything.
August 17, 20205 yr Glad to have it removed from my hard drive. It's not as good as you may think. Awful performance and terribly unrealistic flight dynamics. The two things I care about most.

I was a little surprised that the testers for MSFS did not get a complimentary copy.

August 17, 20205 yr I was a tester for Microsoft Flight and they didn't offer me a free copy - but then again, I didn't want one 😏 Lyn the trucker FSX - XP11 - MSFS Ryzen 5900x - Asus X570 VIII Hero - RTX 4090 - G.SKILL Trident 32 GB DDR4 - WD SN750 M2 1TB + Samsung SSD 250GB - HP Reverb G2 - Win 10/64

I was a little surprised that the testers for MSFS did not get a complimentary copy. I also got a free copy at the end of the Microsoft FLIGHT beta. For this one, I was not actually expecting anything, but as I said, a slight discount might have been nice. Heck, even an "original tester" badge in steam or something. 😋 We are all connected.....

The only "tasks" were requests to check out airports, but no one made you participate. The primary goal of the beta/alpha was to stress test the infrastructure and delivery systems. That and to report things that a small team of testers could never do, like random elevation glitches all over the world.

Everything that happened in the alpha beta is still technically under nda, now that I think of it, though i guess it depends how strict they wanna be We are all connected.....

Alpha is over. What are they going to do if you break it? Kick you out of the testing team? Withold compensation? 😉
