December 4th 2024 Developer Livestream - Discussion

That ATC clears for an approach with radar vectors and then just doesn’t provide vectors of any kind is mind boggling. Even FS2004 (and likely before) provided radar vectors for approach without any problem. This whole ATC and AI traffic thing is still a regression from FS2004.

The ground traffic is useless, it puts US carriers in Europe and likely vice versa as well, big A330s spawn at tiny regional airports. I mostly have A320 neo’s in Airbus house colours flying around. So I’m waiting for FSLTL to work on FS2024 and go with that again.

Ships also doesn’t work as well as GAIST. I have seen very little ships and very little variety, one time I did see ships and it completely tanked my fps. All this traffic stuff has been underwhelming so far.

I fly strictly in VR and that’s broken in 2024

So it’s Monday night of the 9th. Any word if the patch 3 is coming tomorrow or not till Thursday? You think we’d get a heads up.

The heads up was when they told us we would get it Tuesday or Thursday.

I would plan for Thursday. It is the traditional big download day for MSFS.

I’m assuming Thursday cause they often delay and no comment today saying it’s coming tomorrow. Hope I’m wrong tho.

Curious when market place will come. My guess we won’t get an answer till januarys Dev stream. Could be 2-3 months late from release

If it isn’t tomorrow, we will know when it should be.

Such is true

By spending about 4-5 days x 3-4 hours, I’ve been able to get most things working on my RTX2070Super-i79700k-4K system with med-ultra settings (and frame gen) … I am still working on some camera controls and I’m not sure why we could not just transfer all of our control-mapping over … I am also moving a lot of Community Folder stuff over and testing … I consider this all initial prototype bumps in the road and it will turn out to be worth it, although I must say that I kinda’ get off on tweaking and solving problems … :nerd_face:

I think this gigantic amoeba of an entity is MUCH bigger, deeper, complex than many of us realize.

Something that wasn’t clear: Are the Famous Flyer 11: Cessna 185F, and Local Legend 20: Cap-4 Paulistinha going to be made available in MSFS2020? Will those be free or paid in MSFS2020? I thought these updates were going to continue to be provided for both sims for a while.

Yeah, the roadmap also didn’t clarify if the quarterly “Sim Updates” would only touch 2024, or if 2020 would be updated at all (and on what schedule).

However, the weekly development update does state:

the next four first-party Marketplace aircraft from Microsoft (Cessna 185F, Cap-4 Paulistinha, and two more TBA) will be provided free to all players.
