I completely agree with what you wrote down here!
My experience is the same and I have therefore decided to return MSFS2024 to the developers and i get a refund.
Why did I decide to do this?
The whole experience with the new sim is so up side down compared to the old 2020 version, that I don’t see Asobo being able to rectify it in a short time.
The overall interface is much less user-friendly than of the 2020 version. Aircraft I was used to flying are no longer work and that takes a lot of time to get them back on track.
Asobo has made the decision for a cloud-based solution for FS 2024 which involves streaming of aircraft and scenery. It’s only done to lower the amount of data storage on the Xbox. It’s maybe great for Xbox users, but unnecessary for almost every PC user.
Microsoft has stated before the launch that MSFS2024 will be fully optimised for the Xbox and that’s what Asobo has done. The result is a streaming immersion-breaking experience and that doesn’t work. MSFS2024 don’t give the same stable experience from start to end of a flight as in MSFS2020.
The overall experience in MSFS2024 is therefore definitely not my cup of tea.
I enjoy flying in MSFS2020 and not in MSFS2024.
