Microsoft Flight Simulator Announced 2019

there's the things that never change though you wish they would..and then there's the things you'd like to have remain the same for as long as possible - yet away they go in twice the hurry.

and here y'all are whangin' away at each other over something no one knows a damn thing about.

everyone wanted a better FSX since it was released - this might be that and it might not. Right now it's just mystery meat. Period.

FUI... some of u r!

“What we want” – AVSIM Thread
There are two important plans we will be sharing with you in September:

  1. The pipeline for how we will provide an in-depth look at the product we are building.
  2. The process for how we will integrate the community into this process to facilitate a collaborative partnership to bring this product to launch.
Threads like this on AVSIM, and across all the forums we pay close attention to, are truly valued by the team. So though we may not be directly interacting with you at the moment, we hear you. August is about setting expectations, providing a clear Development Roadmap outlining how we get from today to launch. September is about how we accomplish that task, together.

“Early August for Insider… Hope I get in.” – Reddit User r/flightsim
MSFS – You’re in. In August we’ll kick-off the Insider Program. Insiders will be able to login to the site and be given access to the Insider area, and not just redirected to the FAQ, as per current.

“I want to pay for it in unmarked, non-sequential, low denomination bills, placed in three black plastic bin bags, left on the third floor of an abandoned multi-story car park, at midnight.” – AVSIM User
MSFS – Done. Once you make the drop, head south 3 kilometers. Locate a metal trash bin, retrieve mobile phone at bottom of bin. At 1:06AM text “no subscription”. Await further instruction.

“Microsoft don’t read AVSIM or any other forums, they read their own gaming forums and insiders community forums, it is standard company policy.” – AVSIM User
MSFT – Well this is awkward…

Finally, the team would like to take a moment to call attention to AVSIM mod 188AHC. Your effort and contributions do not go unnoticed. Thank you.

Next update coming August 8th!

Sincerely,
The Microsoft Flight Simulator Team

PS: Hint — Announcement coming next update:
 
I'm a lurker at avsim (registered but never posted). I have been following the various topics about MFS, and it's really funny to see the replies from MS in that update.
A bit disappointed with the content of that update, but not disappointed at all with their communication skills :D
I'm not sure how much forums they really follow, but they confirmed they at least read avsim carefully. I'm glad they are looking more open to community interactions than in the past.
 
Interesting when I posted that info the MFSX wasn't there. That showed up later.

PS: Hint — Announcement coming next update:

Announcement Regarding FSX? Interesting. Probably shutting down support and activation services for it. Need to shut down all remaining competition to their new product that they can prior to release of their new Sim.
 
I'm curious if that joke "Text 'no subscription' - and await further instructions" has some truth to it. that would be amazing if it were NOT subscription based.
 
August 15 UPDATE

If you have an insider account MS posted two screenshots and four videos.

Truly amazing! Gota sees the clouds in the video.
 
My question is...

What kind of computer is it going to take to run this? I can't run P3DV4x on mine now and I can't afford to buy new equipment just to fly, paying for other things like a car and a house that take a little more priority. Exciting news? I don't know if it is for me or not.
