Good hopefully, it will quale my apprehension.

During the new livestream, the SDK developers have listed a lot of issues with backward compatibility that have been fixed already and others are being fixed. 

Obviously, the current dev alpha is not final, and one of its goals was to find these issues and fix it.

So yeah, this whole video was premature, on top of misleading (surprise surprise!). Stuff that doesn't work in the devalpha now will work in the next build that's coming soon, or will likely work when the sim releases.

It's truly shameless, and as this thread proves, some are already being mislead. 

How about we wait for official MSFS statement? Or better yet, let's wait for release to see what works what's not. It seems that everything is speculation and rather then getting into pissing match, let's wait for powers to be, to announce something more "tangible". They already said what they said but there are quite a few fakenews floating around and confusing heck out of everyone. 

Personally I am not sure that everything will be 100% and it is funny that some people think otherwise. Also, from marketing and loyalty standpoint I am not sure that Asobo and MSFS will "drop" current users and their big investments in FS2020 in limbo. Somehow I think that would not make any sense.

Surprise surprise (not really surprising), this is literally what just happened. The dev alpha is a work in progress and backward compatibility issues are being fixed (that's what the dev alpha is for) so all this whole alarm is indeed massively premature and misleading. 

Anyone who expected everything to work correctly in the first version of the devalpha was on the crazy side, and making videos misleading people into believing that backward compatibility won't work at launch is premature, reckless, and simply misinformative.

Basically, it's just creating drama and worries for views.

From what I understand one of the goals of the current Dev Alpha is to specifically find and fix backwards compatibility issues

Their employment info is in their signature.

No. Does one need to be employed by Microsoft in order to dislike misinformation for clicks? Do you like being ill-informed and misled? Do you like being fed statements without knowing who made them and which parts of them are being omitted? Or perhaps you just enjoy drama?

Sounds like that's changed (or Jorg forgot) because he said next week iniBuilds will be on to talk about their airbuses.

No, i just find your attitude very defensive, and sometimes quite condescending

Yep. I defend reporting integrity and accuracy against clickbait, FUD, and misinformation. Someone has to.

Great thought! And you are in Italy. not the USA? Wished you lived here to help out!

Here are some screenshots from the stream that address many of the first bug reports for those who don't want to watch the whole thing. 

It's clear that backwards compatibility is a big focus and I'm not worried about my addons being broken for long, if at all.
