I do wonder how much of the game I’ve paid for but am going to miss out on because Asobo stuck it behind a grind wall.
This is the exact reason I refunded after a week 
Had I not I would be messing with it and getting frustrated every single day.

The state of MSFS 2024 on Xbox Series X is an embarrassment.

Same for VR, and just in general unfortunately. But especially in VR.

It’s a shame. Especially as you VR fans have invested the most in hardware and are being ignored for years now.

The state of the game is embarrassing on PC also tbh, but let’s give it 6 months and see where it gets to.

I’ve only flown free flight and I’ve had bugs build up on the windshield and leading edge of the wings.
Interesting (and good to hear) but I wasn’t precise enough in my statement - I was referring to dirt on wheels and lower plane body due to landing off tarmac. Have you experienced this also in free flight? Maybe an aircraft needs to have certain configuration settings and they weren’t set in the ones I tried.
I haven’t landed at any grass fields yet.
I took an X-Cub off-roading in free flight and it definitely got dirty. Wheels, fuselage, windshield, everything.

Thanks. I’m happy to be corrected. One less bug than I thought so just 999 left

YOU MAY KNOW ME AS COOLGUNS.
I am saddened to understand finally that this sim has wasted both my time and money. Never again. This experience has dulled my passion for something I had a lot of passion about.
As I type this I have just experienced yet another failed flight. Things not working, (OMG I could spend the next 30 minutes typing it all out). Should I post bugs? Not anymore. I am done with this knowing what a F#### waste of time that is now.
I will finish converting my scenery so that others can enjoy it and then I am leaving this franchise for good.
Right now I am enjoying Baldurs Gate 3. Now that is a great example of a game and a million miles from this peice of sh1t.

The default P-15D has non-working control surfaces on the right. Reported as a bug, confirmed by other users, still not listed as an official bug.

It’s the culture here. As I said in the OP:

That’s what I’m saying. Even when others confirm it, MS still ignores them.

Flight simming obviously attracts a subset that shares a lot of commonality and overlap with the real-world aviation community. We are picky geeks. Aviators have to notice squawks or we can die. We are strongly encouraged to make reports when things don’t go right (see NASA ASRS, etc), and we want to know that progress and positive change is being made. We read and study accident reports so that we may not follow the same path.
The in-sim checklists spell a lot of these discrepancies things out, yet things don’t work and we’re supposed to do what? Ignore it? Play it off as a sim-ism? “Control check… fail, go anyway.” We’re in the middle of the uncanny valley where it looks and sounds and almost feels like real flying. So these squawks really stand out.
But yes, it is extremely frustrating when seemingly low-hanging fruit is not even acknowledged. Why does it need to be held so close? I get “under-promise and over deliver,” but sometimes it feels like there’s no promise at all, not even communication, acknowledgement as you say, that there’s a customer with a problem.

Quite the contrast to reality.

@ONEMEANPONY Please don’t go!
I share your frustration. The FS2024 launch is a disater.
But I love your work and I am hoping that MS-Asobo will fix the bugs in FS2024.
The bugs and lack of solid communication are annoying, but I think they’ll slowly improve, especially if they let the third party devs at it.
To be clear, the most disappointing aspect is the missed opportunity of what I said above. The sim has a chance to really connect and be meaningful with folks and instead it’s chaotic in both form and function. All of us, from beginners to seasoned simmers, are still sitting here trying figure it out - including the stuff that works well and the stuff that doesn’t. The positive side of that is we’re trying to help each other.

This may be my favorite part of the Flight Sim hobby and it doesn’t even occur at the hands of any controls.
I don’t even have access to 2024 any longer and I’m still here helping people get it sorted.
The community is really what holds this whole thing together.
