So it looks like there isn't a working FMS with the initial release ?

No, not at all. Did you merely watch the video without listening to the audio? It's a work-in-progress version.

You're absolutely right. I was at work and was watching it without audio. You'll notice I said "it looks like there isn't a working FMS", because I didn't see him interacting with it at all. Pretty honest question.

It seems he either isn't using FMS or it is inop in the version he's using in the video.  If you go to 7:50, at about the 7:58 mark he mentions "...for today's purposes with a lack of FMS...".  Could be he is using radio/VOR etc. nav for that flight or, it could be the FMS is a work in progress.

There is not FMS at the moment "will be added at a later date" and of coarse no "Weather Radar". Fabio on twitch and A320 sim pilot a "RWP" are others that were streaming  the 146 and confirm no FMC/FMS at the moment. I think I will wait to see what the Maddog X MD80 will offer.

No FMS for release or just no FMS for these previews? If there's no FMS for the previews its not that big of a deal. We'd just have to wait for beta-testing or the release date to know whether or not it would have a working FMS, yeah?

This is the big question. Without a working FMC, i'd probably hold off buying it until they figured it out.

Well it was kind of the same way when they released this in X-Plane "No FMC or used the default one" on release a year ago. Sure bet they are in a race to release something before PMDG or Fenix drop their birds in MSFS has to be a motive right now for sure.

"FMC implementation is planned in the near future, so hopefully I will get a chance to show you that before the product releases"

Seems pretty clear to me.

She looks so cool ! Who cares for a non-release-time FMS ? Fly like the eighties pilots did !

Typically, when things are in quotes, a source is attached nearby. Could you please tell me where this quote comes from? Thanks!

1:35 in the video link posted by Laurie above.

Thank you! Sorry, I thought the comment was made by a developer somewhere else and missed that it was from the video mentioned above. I guess I'm still confused if those comments about an FMC being implanted on launch or later is from the actual developer. 

Since JustFlight asked this guy to do a preview video, I am guessing that he has received the information about the FMS from them. Maybe one of the JustFlight guys can pop in here and confirm?
