Nope, never mentioned flip phones nor the iPhone, these are your words not mine and not relevant to software and simulation.

I wish, but unfortunately I experienced the death of accuracy and spread of mis-information many decades ago ... the internet is an effective tool to lead people off a cliff especially when they are so receptive and don't do any fact checking because that takes "effort" ... easier to "just believe". 

But for reference, my exposure to the "Internet" (not really but a start) was circa 1983 CompuServe, prior to that it was BBS phone numbers over 300 baud.  The evolution has sadly been more negative than positive and far far from it's original intent to share research information across government, military, scientific communities.

Back on topic, Fenix will be in MSFS 2024 when they are ready to be in MSFS 2024.  MSFS 2024 Dev Builds vary, personally I don't like the flashing shower of my ID across the screen when I'm trying to test development work.  I know it's there to try to prevent posting of pre-release videos so the "Internet" doesn't drop off a cliff ... but there are some "marketing" people that don't have the flashing IDs Dev builds and apparently under some other constraints but are releasing videos ... so it really is pointless to put the flashing user ID in 2024 Dev Builds since it's already exposed to the "internet".

I'm with you 100 % on that entire post. I watched 2 mins of that stream, wrote in chat the flying ids were giving me a headache ( looked like DRM paranoia gone mad) so I was leaving. 

I was a Compuserve boy too. Town Hall was great. The Internet was...... Good... Back then. 

The internet provides everybody a chance to speak, instead of just the chosen and so called enlightened few. Thank your God(s) for that !

Who and where?

I'm quite curious about this allegation as well.

Not a "believer" ... if you can't distinguish from "chance to speak" and "speak with intentional lies" then it's a pointless "chance" ... and I don't gamble and there are no winners.  Internet is not the only tool for enlightenment and no one needs to be "chosen" to be enlightened ... it's a process, it takes effort, and entirely up to the individual.

They were, yes it was initially good until commercial interests, foreign government interests, and the need for attention.

The flying MSFS IDs make it extremely difficult to be an effective developer build ... and yes, it's entertainment, not the cure for cancer nor the meaning of life.

I'm down with the freedom of speech and cherish it as much as America's founding fathers. God bless the internet where we can choose for ourselves what we want to read and choose for ourselves that which we ourselves determine as useful and pleasing to us.

Still waiting for the answer to that "who and where?" question.

Google "MSFS 2024 videos" ... didn't think I really needed to answer that??

Those are videos of the tech alpha or the Grand Canyon Demo.

There's no footage of the Dev Alpha

Did you choose to watch those "Ads"? 

Did you know exactly what a Search Engine choose to return?

So the internet has been blessed by some supernatural ethereal entity?  You know this how?

Pretty sure this is going to get deleted as it's ok to be a believer but NOT ok to be an unbeliever.  But I suspect deletion of these post was your intent ... you know, freedom of speech and all 😉

Look harder (hint not on YouTube) and you'll find some unless they were removed or relocated, you might need a proxy/VPN.

Since it's so easy, feel free to link any video that supports your allegation. 

If you can't, your allegation is false. The fact that you're very conveniently resorting to "google it yourself" and "look harder" tells me that you indeed can't.

And may God bless Boeing and Airbus who continue to roll those wonderful and practical carbon burning jets off their assembly lines and into our skies above!

And what allegation is that exactly?  If you are unable to find these videos that's on you, why would I care since I'm not trying to prove anything?  And why on earth would I want to link videos that may or may not be under NDA?

Yes, I'm sure your God's blessing didn't seem to help those 346 women, men, and children died in Ethiopia and Indonesia due to Boeing 737 Max quality assurance short cuts ... no matter they were probably all heathen's anyway.

Please, heathen are people too.

But whatever Dude... I'm outta here.. But I'm sure you can find others willing to come out and joust with you.
