Yep, that is kind of a "default". We are already planning on including USA, Canada, and maybe Mexico at initial release. This forum post was to find out what other divisions people are interested in.

[FSExpo 2019 Announcement - Roadmap to Release]

On 6/7/2019 at 4:22 PM, Andrew Heath said:

After a lot of thought and consideration, we have decided to add a throttled release plan to our roadmap which we are calling the "Invite-Only Beta" phase. This means that initially, POSCON will only be available to those individuals that have been given an invite code. This new managed plan allows us the flexibility to continue developing features while also rapidly responding to support issues.

Beta Details

Who can participate?

Users must possess a valid invite code in order to activate their account and become part of the beta. The following restrictions apply:

• Users must be at least 16 years of age or older. Users 13-15 years of age can participate only if POSCON has received hand-written parental consent.
• Users on any restricted or watch lists are prohibited from participating.

How can you get an invite code?

• Initially, these codes will be distributed by our testing team and staff.
• We will also pick 50 people that stop by the FSExpo 2019 booth, and have registered for POSCON, to be part of the first Invite-Only beta. Winners will be emailed after FSExpo and receive a code when we release the first Invite-Only beta phase.
• Later, each person who is a member of the Invite-Beta will have an opportunity to invite their friends to the server.

Will the Beta be open all the time, or will there be specific operating times?

• The POSCON Invite-Only Beta will not be open to the public 24 hours / 7 days a week; it will instead be open during specific operating times to ensure ATC and Moderator coverage as well as allow us to deploy changes without affecting user experience.
• As we become more comfortable with our progress and staffing, we will relax the schedule to include more operating times.

Are the operating times fixed?

• No, the schedule will vary. On the 25th day of each month, POSCON will post an updated schedule to the public for the next month's operating times and featured ATC region.

Will the Beta be "open world" or feature specific areas?

• It will be open world, but each month we will be focusing on a specific region in regards to ATC coverage. This does not mean that ATC will be restricted to controlling in the featured region of the month, it just means that we will ensure coverage in that region during the posted times.

I want to be an ATC, can I sign up?

• No, ATC are hand-picked for all open beta phases.

When will ATC open up to the public?

• ATC will open to the public when POSCON officially releases in 2020.

Will ATC ratings transfer from legacy networks?

• Yes, a user's global rating will transfer from legacy networks for a period of 6 months after the official release of POSCON in 2020.
• Local certifications will be left up to the divisions and sub-divisions to decide whether they transfer or not.

When will the Division Staff be selected and how will that work?

• POSCON will begin selecting Division staff the first few weeks after the Invite-Only beta release.
• Division staff will initially be appointed by POSCON staff, but later we plan to introduce a way for members to get involved in the selection process.
