Remember those people boldly saying that while the rest of us were saying this had disaster written all over it? 

Yeah, you can ignore them the next time.

I was expecting a gloating post from you. Feel better now?

Well, it certainly is different from the tech alpha... it seems that one worked a whole lot better.

Well I did take a LOT of heat from the word not allowed, and unfortunately what I said was spot on. But like I said before, they will sort it out eventually. Just not today.  

At least be grammatically correct… good grief.

🤣

Some of us have kept our heads down hoping that a miracle would happen and this wasn't just a cynical marketing ruse born out of MS regretting their initial promise (which has been conveniently forgotten by everyone) that MSFS 2020 was the last sim ever, with perpetual updates included in the price. But of course it wasn't a miracle : it was, precisely, the cynical ploy some of us feared . 
 

I'm still on MSFS 2020 so it doesn't affect me directly, but I am very cross about this situation and I feel my fellow-simmers have been seriously taken advantage of. The sheer greed in our society is just so excessive and so horrible to behold.

What aspect of today’s loading problems connect to the world quality problems you were talking about in the tech alpha?

Well MS knew the launch date many months ago and had plenty of time to get things ready but it has launched as what looks like an early beta if the videos and comments here and on the official forum are anything to go by.  It looks like the disaster many of us were anticipating and hoping would not happen.

See, I don't think it is that bad. Some suit told these guys the sim had to be out by today "regardless" and well, this happens every time. But we do know that these guys can make a good sim, so we just need to be patient. On the bright side, the product is out the door and now the pressure is really on. They will sort it out. We will have an amazing sim. But like I said after the tech alpha, it won't be ready today. Give it until the Q1 2025, maybe sooner!

As I remember it that whole discussion wasn't about the installation process right? But you're right, this mess will be solved very soon I hope.

I don’t remember any loading / server problems with the tech alpha. Elucidate, ye.

But we're still correct, the TechAlpha didn't represent the final product, the final product is better (if you can actually get in)

There were no server issues like this with the TechAlpha
