Today I was greeted by the notification that all my FS2020 purchases have successfully been ported over to FS2024. I clicked the Marketplace tab and indeed, all the good stuff from the old sim was there!
But… All of it is now in the new sim! No matter if I want it or not! Any airport that has caused problems in FS2020 (and which I deactivated for that reason in FS2020) is now back, causing the same or similar problems. Only, this time I have no way of deactivating it!
This really drives me crazy. Who on earth takes this kind of decisions? It just makes no sense. I could have perfectly lived without FS2020 content for a while. But once it is available, I want control over it.
No I have double airports, permanent CTD and in general a messy sim - and I ask myself: WHY???
I really hope MS/Asobo sort this out quickly. The new sim holds great potential, but this launch was premature, and as a consequence it’s quite messed up…
Now my simulator freezes every time if I want to start it at 63-66% (Loading world data). I paid 219Euros for the Aviator edition and I am getting quite frustrated after four days. I really wish I could decide what I want to activate or not.
Yes this is driving me crazy to. I have hundreds add ons now installed alot of them didn’t work well with 2020 let alone 2024 my game is a mess and I believe this why I have terrible performance
There are some strangely bad design decision in this build that’s for sure. I really though the aircraft selection screen would be made usable for those of us with more than a dozen aircraft, but no.
There is an ability to select the entries, but AFAICS we can’t do anything with the selection. So hopefully that means “coming soon”, real soon hopefully.
I feel sorry for the Xbox users as I moved from console to pc because of black avionics that’s why I have so many add-ons being locked to the marketplace while on console
…the only thing is: I was not screaming for anything (maybe just for a functioning sim)!
The 2020 marketplace content got dumped into my 2024 installation without my consent, and - MUCH worse - without me being able to control what to do with it!
It’s like buying a new car, and during the night the dealer decides to remove the wheels on that new car, exchanging them for square wooden wheels (because they look so cool), rendering my car useless…
Discussion on this very topic over on this thread.
I paid for a vanilla FS2024 sim yet I’m getting a weird hybrid sim instead with no method of returning it to defaults to check it out. The FS2020 add ons are not even confirmed to work, they are only confirmed to load ok into the sim. Also aircraft ported in blindly from FS2020 are listed in the choose aircraft section, but have no indication that they are 2020 aircraft.
I have many old add ons some that I haven’t used in 3 years all imported and enabled in FS2024!
It’s a shambolic mess.
If they won’t let us disable FS2020 content (as we currently have the marketplace disabled, side note: why does it have to be done in there?) then they need to pull all FS2020 ASAP.
Don’t worry we have received add ons what don’t work destroying lots of vanilla airports because the marketplace add ons aren’t loading correctly with 2024
I my biggest issue is lvfr static aircraft add-on it’s clogging up airports in 2024 and destroying my performance I need this deleted asap it’s broken. I am baffled by this decision
Enabling the whole of 2020 marketplace library with unsupported add-ons no wonder your servers are broken
I never screamed for having all may 2020m addons forced into my account.
But I spend much money into hundred of addons and for 2020 I always used Addon-Linker to manage my addons. 3rd party and Marketplace of course.
So naturally I want them but when, I want to have them and not forced to have them. Because we all know, that too many addons lead
first to very long loading times,
second to maybe a games freeze or CTD and
third to really messed up scenery.
Especially if you are forced to have for example Asobo LOWI, ORBX LOWI and on top INIBUILDS LOWI. In 2020 I just uninstalled the first two and use the last one. Or just enable or disable the last two with addon linker.
It is crazy like in a lottery for me to get into the game. Either I stuck at 63-66% or if I am lucky, I can get into the sim.
On my XBOX app I see nearly 38 hours of play time, but I flew maybe 3 hours at all. If I get a CTD, the lottery begins again.
I brought the Aviator Edition to support Asobo because I am very happy that we got with 2020 a never expected flight simulator. Our community was nearly dead before. Thanks to 2020 we can buy now nearly every peripheral we could dream of. So I went with Aviator although I already have got all released Asobo / MS aeroplanes.
But that leads into a messy game now. We definitley need the funktionality to enable or disable Marketplace stuff and the possibility to store them locally.
I have got enough M2 drive space to store them and that would probably better for flying experience, because we don´t hammer the servers every time we try to fly in after work or at weekend.
Of course nobody of us wants to have broken addons. So screaming for them before they are tested is not clever. I do the tech support in one of the bigger FLightsim Discords. I know definitely what could be happen or go wrong.
All we want is a working simulator and of course our paid addons after a while.
But only if they are not crashing the sim and we are able to deactivate them.
You are right, and I wasn’t implying your were, but I could see you interpreting it that way based on my quote. Perhaps, I should have omitted the word “screaming” and/or quoted more of what I had been saying from my entire post that I quoted from. Out of context it looks like an attack. Apologies for the poor way it came out here.
Really, I’m on your side here, and in a major way. The decision to do this mass import of 2020 add-ons into a sim that is, clearly, not yet in a state prepared to handle these add-ons, which are known to be problematic based on what was learned from the Dev Tech Alpha is not a wise one.
It shifts from not wise to crazy when you factor in the inability to disable them.
My quote was from a thread discussing the issue here of us users trying to wrap our heads around the sheer volume of really fundamental and glaring bugs and what we should do about this. I certainly cannot imagine reporting them all and they must know, internally, that many of these exist, so reporting them here is a waste of effort.
Chuck in a bunch of conflicting, un-mass tested, problematic 2020 add-ons and now you can’t tell what’s really a bug and you can’t disable the add-ons to verify. That is going to increase the bug reports here that might not even be bugs and all that has to be sorted and dealt with by CMs and moderators.
That just adds so much more noise to an already noisy situation, and noise gets in the way of progress towards improvement.
Yup. This morning as an example, I loaded in with the basic 152 and did the walk around, got in, closed the door and then I wanted to jump outside again but found the door was unopenable from the inside.
So only workaround I could think of was to go into settings, switch my keyboard bindings to FS2024 (not FS2020), and hit SHIFT+C to get jump outside. Then I could click on the door handle and open it again.
It’s stuff like this that makes me think it’s pointless trying to report this as there are just so many aircraft now and there are no doubt many of them with bugs to varying degrees. No-one will fix all these minor issues in a sea of other issues so why bother raising a bug report for them.
Add in to the mix that FS2020 still is waiting for many aircraft bug fixes and you have your answer.
That is exactly the sort of thing I have been tripping all over once I got past my initial day with the sim.
Issues such as that are everywhere and it is massively overwhelming.
As we start to see sim performance issues complaints roll in, I cannot help but wonder if all this forced upon us 2020 content is partially and/or significantly to blame.
Of course, we have no way to check that.
I want my vanilla 2024 install back. Regardless of the “promise” that these add-ons will work, I wanted the sim in a vanilla state for a while as I explored it during these first few weeks. I wanted the option to choose what, if any, add-ons I put in.
