what’s going on here at Brisbane?

“The server and bandwidth issues are temporary, rather sooner than later they will solve them by increasing the capacity, adding more servers, etc.”
Do you think that’s possible? There are obviously still serious access problems at least in UK and EU, even now.. There has obviously been a very serious underestimate of the infrastructure needed to run 2024 at acceptable performance levels. I think there are some fundamental problems here that are not going to be easy to solve quickly or easily…

I also would like to post bugs for the new sim. I manage events for the Aussie Group Flights Team and want to transition to the new sim but there are just too many issues. I plan some workshops around working through the new processes and around the bugs, e.g., G1000 operational issues with creating plans on the MFD. Working with PLN files, etc.
So many planes won’t even start (even with Ctrl-E). We need to get on top of this as it shows so much promise, i.e., better utilisation of HW, improved graphics and lighting etc.
Look forward to identifying a way forward.

Microsoft Flight Sim 2024 is a legit pile of dog ■■■■!
Enuff said. See Jay’s review:

He says it as it is.
I’m just glad I didn’t by this garbage but instead tried it on Gamepass.
After waiting for 3 hours, I just gave up and deleted it.

I’ll bet the airport isn’t rendering and the aerial photo of the taxiway is being interpreted as colorful grass.
Was there construction in that area recently? Any third party scenery conflicting?

Same here.
I bought GamePass… couldn’t get into the Sim until yesterday (Thursday). So disappointed.

What is boggling my mind right now is, given the absolute need to disable add-ons when addressing bugs, we cannot disable all the 2020 Marketplace content we bought.
I came from Xbox, where the Marketplace was my only choice for add-ons. Once I moved to PC, I stuck with it. I have a significant amount of content that should not be used in the sim right now and I am powerless to disable/uninstall it.
With all that is going on with this sim right now, this has to be one of the stupidest decisions I have seen the team make.
Yes, sure, people are screaming for their paid add-ons, but once they see how broken they are in 2024, they are going to be screaming to be allowed to remove them.
Please, for the love of Mike, get us a solution implemented for disabling these things. The 3rd party scenery, alone, is causing all sorts of issues.

It could be a 3rd party marketplace addon now I think of it
Apparently that is by design for right now:
I don’t know if there is a technical reason for that or not.
For sure, I knew this when I wrote what I wrote.
I still stand that is an extremely poor decision to force all this content into a sim that is in the state that it is with no means of disabling it.
How many bugs are being “discovered” due to issues with partly compatible Marketplace add-ons?
I’m seeing messes right now with my Marketplace add-ons and they need to be removed ASAP.

The pllght of the Xbox user (at least in 2020, I don’t know about 2024): Not being able to remove add-ons.

Another “design” would be to recognize that 2020 has “Installed” and “Not Installed” (or whatever) and to then transfer only the “Installed” items using criteria established by 2020. Or nothing at all until Install/Uninstall works.
It’s like they’re a moving company and instead of dropping a pod off for me to move things in as I want or need, they just moved the whole lock, stock and barrel into my living room and said “We’ll have a way to sort this out later”.

Ha, I’ve had movers like that.
Wish I knew what that was all about. It sounds crazy and maybe it is crazy.

Its just sad to read.
Ironically @N316TS was one of the few I actually got a impression helped the community and customers.
I remember early on in msfs2020 I sent detailed bug reports to the zen desk or whatever it was. I never even got a reply, and of course the bugs werent ever adressed. I got the impression that the only thing that mattered was the amount of “votes” a issue had.
So I eventually stopped trying to go the zendesk route, or bother with bug reports on the forum and lobbying for votes.
Keep in mind that better communication and transparency was promised to be improved basically since the start of msfs2020, yet never really got better. There is a huge gap between the people making this game and the paying customers, and it is no secret that this forum is just a echo chamber amongst ourselves, and left to ourselves to figure out solutions, to even very basic issues. I keep saying we all worked as beta testers for 2020 and now alpha testers for 4 more years of 2024 as a joke, but it isnt far from the truth.

Wow, thank you so much for that.
There is nobody here who knows how hard I worked for this community. There is no Community Manager, no moderator, no one who knows the blood, sweat and tears I put into this community. When I left my mod post, I was one of the top-read people in the forums, and by my cocktail napkin estimation, when I quit here, roughly 1 out of every 3 bugs in the forums that was feedback-logged or bug-logged was because of my escalation. And then when I quit moderating, I sent up another 400 bugs via Zendesk. I’d love to know how many bugs I’ve sent up in total, but I have no idea.
This was more than a full-time job for me, and an unpaid one at that. MSFS was the first thing I thought about every day and the last thing I thought about when I went to sleep at night. And by the way, it screwed up my sleep schedule, too, as I would sometimes work late into the night trying to do this or that.
I tried to make previous posts before today not about me…I hate taking curtain calls. But this whole situation makes me want to scream. I feel that Microsoft abandons us just a little more every time they close one of those as “Won’t fix.”
This was my baby, so I hope everyone can see why I am so upset to see the development team throwing these away. Unfortunately, once it gets feedback-logged and bug-logged, it’s in the hands of QA and the development team at that point, and there’s nothing we can do.
Coming to grips with this has been awful, and your words helped a lot. Thank you.
