April 6, 20242 yr Didn't they surprise release 2020 prior to the Xbox event that year? Follow me on : Instagram See my Trailer: A Year Of Flight
April 6, 20242 yr Good find @ca_metal, looks like we'll get the next batch of new info/reveals at the June XB event (probably at least a new trailer, hopefully more), and then later in June at FSExpo is likely when detailed info & deep dives come out, including probably live/playable demos for those at the conference. Per https://en.shiftdelete.net/2024-xbox-games-showcase/According to Tom Warren, who is closely associated with Microsoft, the event will feature information about significant titles such as Indiana Jones, The Great Circle, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, and Avowed. It is expected that various trailers for these games will be released during the event. And FSExpo already announced MS/Asobo as one of the main presenters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwgZg2jtPPg&t=1568s (complete list of presenters: https://youtu.be/pwgZg2jtPPg?t=1755) Edited April 6, 20242 yr by lwt1971 Len 1980s: Sublogic FS II on C64 ---> 1990s: Flight Unlimited I/II, MSFS 95/98 ---> 2000s/2010s: FS/X, P3D, XP ---> 2020+: MSFS Current system: i9 13900K, RTX 4090, 64GB DDR5 4800 RAM, 4TB NVMe SSD

I remember the release date was announced at least a month before it was released. I remember MSFS had a one or two week beta before it was released in August of 2020. I can't remember the exact details, but my recollection back in 2020 was that I knew at least a month in advance that MSFS would be released in August. i5-12400, RTX 3060 Ti, 32 GB RAM

April 6, 20242 yr You are both correct. The MSFS release was indeed announced over a month beforehand. The surprise, however, was that MSFS went from Alpha testing to announcement of a final commercial release date without any intervening Beta testing or Release Candidate 1, Release Candidate 2, etc. The release-date announcement surprised everyone, especially all the Alpha testers.

April 6, 20242 yr I don't think Asobo will rely on Alphas and Betas as much because they are not new to the game this time around. 5800X3D. 32 GB RAM. 1TB SATA SSD. 3TB HDD. RX 9070XT.

I wonder however when they're going to start releasing the v2024 SDK builds and docs to developers.. not sure if they place devs under NDA with this sort of stuff so we might never know until MSFS 2024 releases from devs about how much lead time they've had to get a grasp on the new capabilities and changes. Perhaps based on the type of questions that pop up on https://devsupport.flightsimulator.com/ we might get a clue 🙂 Edited April 6, 20242 yr by lwt1971 Len 1980s: Sublogic FS II on C64 ---> 1990s: Flight Unlimited I/II, MSFS 95/98 ---> 2000s/2010s: FS/X, P3D, XP ---> 2020+: MSFS Current system: i9 13900K, RTX 4090, 64GB DDR5 4800 RAM, 4TB NVMe SSD
April 7, 20242 yr Well, the third parties working on the new stock aircraft at the very least would have already been given access. I wouldn't be surprised if some third parties already have SDK access, and there would more than likely be an NDA, there was one for 2020. Edited April 7, 20242 yr by Tuskin38

April 7, 20242 yr It was mentioned somewhere that devs were to get a couple of months access before release. But i cannot remember where i saw it. AMD Ryzen 7 5800x3d, MSI X570 Pro, 32 gb DDR4 3600 ram, Gigabyte 6800 16gb GPU, 1x 2tb Samsung NvMe , 1x 2tb Sabrent NvME, 1x Crucial 4tb Nvme M2 Drive
April 7, 20242 yr In an interview Jorg said he wanted devs to have access late 2023. It probably happened and they're all under NDA 5800X3D. 32 GB RAM. 1TB SATA SSD. 3TB HDD. RX 9070XT.
