February 5th 2025 Developer Livestream - Discussion

Hello @GimbalAxis,

As a reminder, the stated purpose of the Tech Alpha was never for the community to report bugs and issues with the sim code. The Tech Alpha was very limited in scope and was designed solely to test the various online systems used by MSFS2024. Almost all the data the devs wanted to gather from the Tech Alpha was collected automatically by server performance monitoring systems/logs and telemetry. We posted this message about the Tech Alpha when it opened for players:

The Technical Alpha build was created with the sole intent to gather telemetry and feedback on online services.

This is different from public beta tests (such as the currently ongoing SU1 Beta) where we are very specifically looking for written feedback and bug reports submitted by players. During Wednesday’s livestream, Jorg acknowledged that one of the lessons learned from the MSFS2024 launch was that we will always perform thorough public beta tests for all future releases.

Thanks,
MSFS Team
