I couldn't resist. DangerousDave - sorry if I done wrong Gov'nor.
A guy on the Alpha Test Programme has leaked some footage on the Chinese Video-sharing website BiliBili - supposedly so that MS can't take it down. I expect it won't be there for long so if you're interested grab it while you can.
Over at the "other" forum they're all refusing to watch because they say they're respecting the MS NDA (and they all want to get on the Alpha)
Out here in the Outhouse I think we're a bit more grown up.
I can't wait to see some of our wonderful warbirds in the hangar instead of the A320s and 747s, and smaller very rich boy's toys, etc.
Mind you, the Skyhawk looks lovely - and that's affordable to us mere mortals.

And a general idea of strong, variable, gusty wind flight dynamics;

And lastly; why it all looks so darn good;

The vids reveal much - but then again, theres no way of verifying when they were captured. For instance - all the aircraft in the hangar have their wings - as in flight - not drooped, I believe that could date that video back as far as late April.
In the Soundscape Vid the trees are still big, big, big - I believe that's been corrected.
It's entirely possible that this is someone who's been chucked off the Alpha for breach of NDA and has decided to post in-flight footage that he or she captured before.
Who knows, who cares. What I really like is that it all appears to be really quite bloody good.
