At least, they've already released the one where a finger snap vanishes half the people, so we're good to go and we know XP12 and P3D6 won't vanish anymore 😂

The issue is not with P3D6 vanishing but the amount of addons that will vanished of existence because no one is making them for P3D6.

The effects of this community doing a beta that they wanted are exactly as a suspected….that it won’t be treated as a beta at all. All of you who have downloaded and reported here have literally just fired up the sim and acted as if you got VIP access to some official patch. Your JOB AS A BETA TESTER is to report to the correct point of contact issues you see with detailed responses and data.

loading your favorite airplane at your favorite airport and just seeing what you see isn’t how this works. You actually need to have a specific purpose.

honestly, asobo, don’t bother with avsim anymore. Its not worth it and having these members doing a beta test for you will net you absolutely no tangible data to work with.

Because all the official beta testers did such a great job catching every bug before SU7's release... 😁

I see no reason not having any RXP product for P3D6 "a priori"!

As an Avsimer, I worked hard and long on my zendesk beta feedback. Reno race prize money still cannot be used for marketplace purchases!!!

Good for you. If you can find a business case to continue support, I see no problem with that.

There was a thread about this here in the MSFS Avsim forum but based on the information in that thread, there wasn’t a beta test for SU7.

Since when Beta tester are responsible for releasing code fix ? I don't think you understand how beta works. There was a beta. It was only 1 week and it was agreed that it would be use to take feedback and they wouldn't release any code fix for the release. But hey keep on bashing people who dedicated their free time to help the community instead of just venting like you are.

That's not 100% guaranteed but it seems it could be totally random! I think it is more likely to affect you if you have the sim installed in the default location on the C:\ drive.

I have the sim installed on a different partition ( Steam - SSD )

Wouldn't you rather this scenario with our own community testing hotfixes instead of waiting 4-6 months for the next sim update?

When have we ever had to wait "4 - 6 months for the next sim update?" What sim are you talking about. This is Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) forum.

Sure you're in the right spot?

I posted my screenshots to the official public beta forum, in this thread:

Based on the feedback, it looks like you didn't take the METAR reports into consideration

What are you on about?

I posted a couple of quick impressions in regards to one of the key issues, and I then posted it to the official forum. 

I eagerly await your detailed anaysis. I suspect I'll be waiting a long time. 

No it won’t. I dont have the time to test the sim. I realize that my limited time will provide no gain to the development team.

I made my point extremely clear. Why does my opinion bother you?

Only problem with that is you need people to buy your products for that platform and it's becoming evident people are leaving en masse for MSFS, even with it in it's infancy.

Are we ready to hang the beta testers when problems arise in the release?  I can't wait.

Just kidding.

bs

That would be news to me.

Testers can only report bugs and that's what we did during the SU7.

We won't have caught as many as we might have because the test was announced at the very last minute, so not everyone was able to commit time to it and ran for less than a week, but we did what we could.
