Is this because physics are better in 24?
They’re much better.
I always found it much easier to fly planes well in 2020 due to physics being less realistic.
No from the people i ask the same question they say dont have any difference copy paste from 2020 !
I’m play both on pc and my Xbox x and prefer the Xbox. Its atleast more stable for me
can’t imagine the state of your PC then… ![]()

I find both about the same flight physics wise with maybe a bit better 'feel to '24 (my real world experience is small light aircraft, gliders and a helicopter (R22). Weather effects on aircraft flying perhaps slightly better in '24 and some helis fly well but others started off having weird inertia-less feel to them - now corrected.
Basically now’t much wrong with either sim except one glaring thing that still persists - pitch trim. Non autopilot small aircraft can easily be set ‘in trim’ and then easily stay like that. Both sims have the ‘balanced on top of a ball’ type of pitch trim instead of the ‘sat at the lowest point of a skate park U section’ of real life. Not all and not all as bad.
These are minor things though and both modern sims are way better than previous and both excellent - especially for VFR exploring. If your thing is airliners with takeoff, climb to altitude and then descend & land even FSX/FS9 is fine for that.
