[image] World Update IV Testing Opportunity - Microsoft Flight Simulator In our continued efforts to provide the best experience for our community we are looking for 300 individuals to help us test World Update IV starting on April 7th 2021. As part of this test your… …

Doesn’t matter if you have 30 years experience. How much effort will it take to verify each beta tester against criteria like this beforehand? At the end of the day each beta tester paid for the same product as you and therefore their views are equally as important.

I would suggest reading the MS post again. They don’t want beta testers specifically to find bugs. They want beta testers to test performance. That’s what their post said. Most likely to avoid the performance issues encountered after the last World Update. I highly doubt they will fix any bugs foun…

[image] Cygnifick: Ending up with 3 versions installed How come? If you don’t want to deal with it, don’t participate in the beta and the worst thing that could happen is that everything stays the same. The best thing that could happen is a smooth WU4 just because there are enough dedicated …

Because I have two versions installed already. And if you are in beta, changes are the build will use new data.

Just an FYI - Beta testers will not have three versions installed. The most you could have is two. The beta is provided via an update to the MS store (including Xbox game pass) version. So you are able to run the beta MS store version alongside the live Steam version, if you happened to have both. …
