Communication is very poor in the beta section, the one area it’s needed most, this needs improvement.

Hopefully tonight we will get an update on what’s happening with SU2. Whether they will be releasing it in its current state, which I hope they don’t, or whether we can expect more beta updates. They seem to have gone very quiet this last week about what’s happening. It feels like we are all being left in the dark, and then get very vague detail in the weekly development update.
Keep the ball rolling…
SU2 must be released…
Unfortunately, improvements in communication with the community will never reach “beta”.. it would be much better, getting in touch, keep customers honestly informed makes ‘things’ so much better

I must admit I’m starting to find this weird also…
Good old days from the launch of 2020 with a lot of communication and projects seems very far now.
Where’s Asobo ? Where’s all the communication from Microsoft about the future of the sim ?
Looks like in 2008 when they closed Aces studio without a word for the fsx community…
There is a Dev stream planned sometime this month. I learn more from the Dev streams than any other form of communication offered to us. Although I agree there has been more silence than in the past.
The communication in the beta is beyond poor, we don’t know what they are doing, what they acknowledge and why etc eetc.
All they seems to want is a survey for each build. The communication between 2020 and 2024 feels like a completely different development team.

I don’t understand how they have Asobo employees active in the SDK forum, but the beta forum they don’t. I’ve never been part of betas whereby the developers don’t directly interact with the users over specific and/or massive issues during that time.
The silence and neglect baffles me and it’s one of the reasons I left the beta, because I refuse to waste my time helping them when communication is just one way, it’s not helpful at all

It seems like Asobo/MS has cut back on communication drastically over the past few weeks. Is this the beginning of the end for MSFS 2024?

To be fair, one would rather have them active in the SDK/dev forum working directly with devs on fixing things. They can ignore me so long as they are fixing underlying bugs.
Would I like to know what they’re doing? For sure. But if I had to choose, I want them fully involved on the dev forum.
In addition to what @BigCow74 said, don’t assume that just because developers aren’t posting on the forums that they aren’t reading them. Given the negativity and lack of patience I see on these forums, I probably wouldn’t want to post here either.
Frankly, I’d rather have developers working on fixing issues than spending their time posting in the forums. When they do post, I would imagine they are doing so deliberately to solicit additional information needed to help them reproduce a problem so they can fix it.

I disagree, I’ve seen very good communications between developers and users in betas with other games. That’s where the respect and understanding comes from, the reason for the negativity and frustration on these forums could very well be directly attributed to the lack of communication in the beta forums.

Direct communications in the Beta forum has been minimal. The number of livestreams with direct access to not only those in charge but also with first party developers seems unprecedented in my experience.
