Since this launch is cleary a bit of a bust I am curious to know if there was any good things if you had no issues launching into the game.
Graphics? Controls? Flight stick being recognized?
For the ranting part of this post.. How long have you waiting in queue? Did it go smooth after the wait or did it crash? Career mode freeze on you? Is it worth even trying any more tonight to get into the sim?
Just curious and bummed about the launch and figured I am not alone on this matter so let me know!
After finally passed the queue the game is running smooth. Tried small planes and made the first career certification. The game is definitely heavier in VRAM use and GPU usage. With the same configuration as FS2020 it gave me less fps but super stable, no hiccups or stutter. So far it is approved.
That is great to hear and I am stoked for your expirence running so smooth! I am trying out free flight but sadly no mapped controls for my HOTAS setup and can’t even think to even start mapping myself. So xbox controller for now. Career mode freezes for me right when I am about to walk and do an exterior check so hoping maybe tomorrow I can check that out!
Well, Some good news I am able to get into free flight and some controls on my flight stick are actually working but I can’t tell if they are because these are what I setup during the tech alpha and it carried over but for the most part its working I can fly! Mountain ranges look amazing but the ground textures not so much. Stable FPS so far which is a huge improvement from 2020 but I am guessing its the odds and ends that will get touched up and the sim itself will be as advertised my hopes anyways!
Launch day problems Aside, (took 10 hours before the Game would work for me) i have spent the last 3 to 4 hours playing (Primarily Career) Game looks Great on the Series X, in world view while zoomed right in, something caught my eye, not sure if this was in FS2020 but you can actually see the Ocean moving, which i thought was quite impressive lol, only reason i am not currently playing is due to the First Solo Flight Training Module refusing to load, so i can’t continue working towards my PPL, Bummer, will try again later on!!
I do believe that is new with the ocean effects ! That is awesome its running good on the console as well! I almost thought about poppin on the Series X and playing but not sure I am able to use my HOTAS on the Xbox! Career mode still not working for me on PC but I am patient! Glad to see some positives coming out rather than the negatives!
Disappointing ground textures and grass, at least in Australia, looks more like pressed leaves on paper. No rocks etc despite all being set to Ultra. Possibly lack of textures due to server issues, no idea. Three short flights today after hours of trying, all of which failed for one reason or another.
Took a while to get in. But just tried what 45min ago and I was right in no wait and I am no expert when it comes to flying but compared to 2020 man these guys did a really great job. Things I never noticed before… I had more fun then I did in 2020. Things like AI traffic no matter what I did .. I just never really say much. Just now.. I didn’t change anything but graphics to ultra and.. WHAT.. Plaines taking off flying by.. it was SO FUN
â– â– â– â– , thats a bummer! Sorry to hear that. Well I am having my issues as well. Got one free flight in and wanted to check out some major cities so by default I wanted to take off from JFK and do a fly over but got stuck in the loading screen constantly loading. Lets just hope it gets straightened out and we can all be enjoying what was shown in the trailer. I really want the career mode to start working! That just freezes on the same spot over and over!
Agreed, I did a similar flight out of my hometown to the city and everything land wise looked good. Now my textures seemed to not load in right away but halfway through the flight everything looked great! I was bummed out about the trees in my area as they are looking more like tall bushes and not pine trees but hopeful for updates on these minor bugs. The FPS on 2020 was good for the most part till I hit some major cities and this sim this year seems to be stable which I am super stoked on! Couldn’t load into JFK to do a fly over of New York but ill try again shortly.
Worst LOD , Ground textures blurry,
2024 is a disgrace to simmers; it’s a breach of trust, and all of them should immediately raise refund requests.
I wish there were cyber laws recoganised by court for such issues to customers
Yeah, I am having similar texture issues but mine did load somewhat halfway through my flight. Hell, I am even bummed about the trees that were advertised as correct location types of trees. I have large bushes if you want to call it that and not the Pine trees I was expecting.
FPS is great though but now that I think about wondering if its due to textures not correctly loading in haha but who knows. Its the good the bad and the ugly with this launch for me. I am just happy there is no queue anymore and can get into the sim if I need to reset when it decides to freeze on me
