So I guess this screenshot teases seasons? Soon?

Yeah I don't understand this 'seasons' screenshot winner choice for 'tundra'. Obviously this is taken from the community with one of the third party seasons add-on installed. The screenshot winners have been odd choices in general and this one is no different. I don't think this has any relation what-so-ever to seasons officially coming in MSFS beyond the window of 2022 but if it does come sooner that would be most welcome and would be subtle clever way of promoting it.

My favourite tundra screenshot is forzakingfam which is incredible.

I believe there will be way more SU5 downloads than there will be XBox copies downloaded but MS could of probably saved the cluster **** by not releasing them both at the same time. Maybe XBox on Wednesday and SU5  on Tuesday.

Or SU5 NOW and XBox  next week

That' just default scenery with different level of snow and different lighting. 

What's wrong with that? until they can get enough data.

Some places will never get accurate winter, not enough or even none daylight hours

Nothing wrong with it at all. Few suggested it's a mod. i just think it's the default scenery.

So I have a flight planned to Kansas City on Monday to take in a 4 game series between the Chicago White Sox and KC Royals.  So I should be good until after the Thursday afternoon game!  😜

I think it will Xbox by far. 23M have Game Pass as of April '21. There will be plenty of curiosity on a new title since it was announced coming to the platform. I have an Xbox Series X and I'll be curios just to see how it performs.

Semper Fi 

That video on the Visual Effects SDK is mind-blowing when you think about how advanced this simulator is just from the SDK tools alone.

That node-graph editor running live inside the sim is just another example of how far ahead Asobo/Microsoft are with this.

Stuff like this will help to create a vibrant 3rd party ecosystem.  I would not want to be a competitor to this product at the moment.  The engineering effort behind even the SDK tools is formidable.

Yeah I thought 'seasons' mentioned in the video was a slip of the tongue, I still do actually but now this screenshot has been selected - mounting evidence? 🙂
