They said Day One
I listened to the whole thing live, Joerg specifically said there would be an Alpha in late Oct (much) later in the stream.
Jorg answered that because there was a specific question asking if the SDK was going to be available in day 1. But that doesn’t mean it won’t be available before. In fact it’s available in some alpha state but only for 1st party devs.
I’m hoping that there is a flag added for drone collision mesh active with collision material as it has been in the backlog for ages in the 2024 SDK.
jane: Will the SDK be available on launch or When will the SDK be available?
jorg: on lauch for sure
Martial: Dev mode can be trigger day one in the sim
Their words
All of us wants and needs a different answer, but at the moment that’s theirs.
do you have first hand news about the Alpha/SDK being available to first party ONLY or is just a speculation?
(the Jorg smile and laugh about the alpha is not really a great reassurance, but it maybe would help a lot of us to plan updates/upgrades)
I would understand if they would’ve told us something like; “hey we know we said the SDK was going to be available in September but it’s buggy or it not ready yet and it’ll come at a later date before release” But really, it’s all up in the air and we are just hoping and guessing when it’ll be available.

Ah, I think I understand why there’s some debate here. It’s actually two separate things:
- When is the SDK going to be available?
- Will there be a pre-release version of MSFS2024?
For the first, as mamuDesign linked, Joerg definitely said it won’t be available before release. For the second, Joerg said they were going to have an alpha in October.
There was also the mention that we would be able to pre-ask questions before the 10/02 stream. Any idea where that is? I have questions …

Let me know if you find it, I can’t. I want to pre-ask the install folder question that’s still sitting unanswered.
I want to pre-ask about Since 1.25.7 Drone Collision Mesh active with Collision Material since it also affects Asobo handcrafted airports in MSFS like LOWS from WU18 as well as 3rd-party sceneries and has yet to be fixed-still in the backlog.
Would be beneficial for users using walk-around mode or the drone camera to look at handcrafted airport interiors as well as devs designing airports with a flag added to turn off mesh collisions.
Jayne said there was a form opening for questions for next week’s stream. I have not been able to find it

Thank you!
Asked my question via the form, rhanks
Same, thanks for providing it!
How does one register to be a marketplace developer? Our product doesn’t actually ship through the Marketplace but we still need to test against MSFS2024 
You sign up here and wait for about 500 years. Last I heard, there were over 1000 applicants for the Marketplace that hadn’t been approved yet.
They can’t approve everyone right now so they went to the forums to ask everyone which developers should be prioritized to be approved:
I started a new thread since we aren’t even in the marketplace and never will be
I’m sorry.
