Greetings Geoff:
Everyone that I know who's been a beta tester knew someone at MS, is a journalist, developer, or associated with a FS-related web site. I have no idea of whether this works or not, but you might try http://www.microsoft.com/playtest/
Good luck!

Hi Geoff,>>How is it possible to become part of the beta testing team at MS.........For the next generation Flight Sims mainly.
Anyone point me in the right direction<<
Send an email to betareq@microsoft.com . In the subject line, just put in the product you are interested in testing, and in the body, your contact info (name, address, phone, etc). I would also include a very short blurb as to your "qualifications" for testing (FS NUT is acceptable <g>). Then wait....with fingers crossed. Generally you'll hear nothing if you aren't accepted. The only confirmation you get to know you're "in" is a surprise email one day that reads, "Welcome to the MSFS Beta Test!" Don't forget, that day is a looong way off. Good luck!
