Why should we participate in the beta?

My take on this, after decades of dealing with coders, is that they probably intended to deliver it in 2024 but when they looked into it more thoroughly it was either going to take up so much in resources or that it would need a complete rewrite of some of the code so it was shelved.

After all we see so many network speed issues reported here - imagine adding this as another resource layer.

That’s a shame, it works in DCS and other titles, but i understand sometimes developers promise things they can’t deliver to make sales, i know it all to well, i play Star Citizen…

Yes it is a shame. I think that our best hope is that they build it in to the next code base, whenever that might be.
