With FS2024, alongside the visual downgrades evident in both FS2020 and FS2024, Asobo and Microsoft have effectively made the decision to move toward X-Plane 12 with orthophotos far easier, given its superior physics, weather modeling, and less bloated. Issues such as scenery points of interest glowing unnaturally bright at night and certain premium deluxe aircraft remaining visually broken even a year after release reflect a clear disregard for customer respect.
@MucusTech regarding the “crummy-nes” in XPlane, there a free to use options and try make FS2020/24 look likes this only once!!!:
In FS2020/24, the weather system is limited to a single generic “popcorn” cloud type, altered only in density rather than reflecting genuine atmospheric variety, despite pre-release materials presenting a very different impression.
