It's an interesting question, actually, that I've been asking myself since the E3 announcement.

If they plan to release this on the next XBox, it would mean the new XBox (and by extension probably the PS5 as well) are coming a year earlier than previously hinted, which is also exciting bonus news. :)
If they are going to run it on current XBoneX, though, I guess there are going to be some serious compromises.

The Oct 10th Insider update. Someone was nice enough to share the insider video on the MSFS 'World' tech on his YouTube channel:


Tech Alpha recruitment update:

  • 10.15 – Recruitment for Tech Alpha 1 ends. If you would like to sign up, please head into the Insider Area and fill out the survey.
  • 10.17 – Build release preparation begins. Insider acceptance confirmation communication begins and will run through 10.24.
  • 10.24 – Release Window Opens. We will begin granting access to the Tech Alpha build to Insiders that have received acceptance confirmation.
BUILD PROGRAM UPDATE


We are currently targeting mid/end November for our second build release (Tech Alpha 2). We expect to open recruitment for Tech Alpha 2 closer to the end of October but expect a final date in our 10.17 update.

Looking forward to flying in this ... it just can't come soon enough...

But where, I ask, are the demands and open letters from the community here, screaming that it's not already released?

I feel bad for Laminar Research. XP11 has been a godsend since Microsoft ditched the sim, and Ortho4XP made it a fantastic experience across the entire globe. But this is just something else, at least visually. And since I pretty much only ever fly helicopters, the low altitude visuals are a massively big deal. Hope pre-caching of arbitrary region is a genuine feature and doesn't go down like ED's offline mode.

Ah. I thought in one of the videos it was said that helicopters may not be in for first release, some worrying phrase like 'would be looked into' was uttered. (I may be misremembering!)

I wouldn't worry too much...the mod creators will be on this like a rash ;)
