Nice timing Asobo. A disastrous beta where most have to shelve the sim for the weekend.

I'm at the expo and enjoying it. I was at last year's as well. It's hard to say which I like better. This one is down the road from me a but so it helps.

That said, I view this as a yearly thing where I can meet my friends and chat with some of the devs I chat with offline.

The announcements are always blah for me since it's rare something is "shipping now"

It's a social event for me more than anything.

Is there any bullet point list that shows what has come out so far?  Aka announcements?

Or you could just not use the beta and have it working fine??

exactly, it's so easy and fast now, it takes more time waiting for xbox insider hub when you press "leave preview", than what it takes to download and install the 8GB patch to go back to SU 2.

Isn't it kind of pointless to have an FSEXPO without Microsoft?  After all..

1 every 2 years I'm thinking.

Only SU2 broke many things...

Why would you shelve it.  It's a Beta.  Go back to SU2 and fly instead of making it sound like it's the end of the Sim world as we know it.

No, it isn't the Microsoft expo, is it?

MS will fade away from FS ASBO will carry it forward. You never know ASBO may recruit some MS staff as they are cutting back staff at the moment.

Because some of the addons required you to join the beta such as the A350 from Inibuilds. I specifically joined the beta for that plane. It worked in all the betas except the last one. While PMDGs 777 didn't require beta it worked perfectly fine in beta until this last beta. I could go on and on. 

did someone visit the stand of MOTOZOLO?   mega interesting their products!!   they said the price will be between 5k - 7k usds due to tariff issue. In chinese RMB is 30000 yuan,  equivalent to 4K usds. roughly

I just got home and was at the event. There was a lot of great products and i even brought two items from Desktop Pilot of a hobbs meter and their new parking brake to replace the gen one version of theirs I have.

All that said, the one company that impressed me the most is the products from MOTOZOLO. I'm not an airliners person but the size, function and screen quality had me thinking if I ever make an airliners simpit, I would look at them first. Plug and play, fully functioning..I didnt go hands on but if the product matches the visuals with the price...they certainly have great potential. 

Edit: they were showing their product at $360ish USD so not sure about price. Like I said, I'm not an airliner guy but if the price is sub $500 per module like I thought I saw, then keep a close eye on them. Of course, Winwing is kickin A and taking names too. My take away was if you want airliner hardware parts, there a great amount of options of solid products.
