The Simbrief app on the EFB is still working, but when I hit “import flight plan” (or something similar, not at computer right now) in the Simbrief app, the flight plan doesn’t get transferred to the regular efb flight planner anymore. Will need to investigate more…
X4. Dunno what that is, I guess it is making your cessna 172 go 500mph.
Really do not see the point in complaining about a supposedly serious flight “simulator” not allowing you to break the laws of physics.
Plenty of machines in the amusement arcades allow you to do that. 50p a play.
Vista eh? I’m glad I gave that up!
My MSFS24 came with my new computer with a bunch of other games, etc. so I don’t feel bad about having to pay for it.
Still though, I find it very hard to love the sim. and hope that things get sorted before long.
Cheers!
I gave 24 another shot. Decent perf doing some GA flying with PG off and FG off. Loaded up the Fenix, not so good. Horrid perf with FG turned on at a default airport with no PG.
Problem is my vram, which will be upgraded soon. Until then, still sticking with 2020.

They can’t even keep a Tail number on an aircraft, and their focus seems to be Career Mode? I really don’t think they are focused, nor is there any communication.
I’ve been very happy in MSFS 2020…I hope they don’t try and fix that one also!
I do not recommend MSFS 2024 YET! Wish I never made the purchase.

Being a pmdg 737 junkie I’m not even thinking about a sim that does’t support my addiction. Not so sure I will be too quick to switch even when pmdg releases there 2024 version.
Still very new to MSFS 2020 and after being a long time user of P3D, have my hands full getting my head around MSFS’s extremely annoying camera system and restrictive audio system when comes to pmdg 737.
I still split my time between 2020 and 2024. For airliners, 2020 is still my default choice, but I’m sort of enjoying career in 2024 and flying helicopters more than I did in 2020, due to the improved scenery. Flying helicopter rescue missions in the Alps provides some visually stunning scenery, now they have a way to hide the stretched aerial imagery.
I appreciate you like the nicer scenery in 2024. For me the functionality of aircraft is more important. Once I get this I will also want the nicer scenery. Until then I use 2020.
Still doing some group flights in 2020, but other than than that all in 2024 now!
2024 made me take a break from MSFS

i dont know why though
because after the state of FS2024 trust in Asobo is gone.

I have to say, I’m inclined to agree.
FS24 has so many problems that I decided to save myself the headache and uninstall it, since 2020 is just fine.
I can’t seem to motivate myself to load up 2020 though. I would be lying if I said I hadn’t considered selling my gear and leaving the hobby behind, because I spent plenty of time tinkering with 2020 over the years, and I’m not sure I want to do that all over again.

I am sticking to 2020 happier than ever I guess. Just upgraded to 9800x3d from 5800x3d and things are smoooooth… even the FBW A380. I can stick to this for years if MS in their infinite wisdom doesn’t decide “fix” things in 2020. Please MS, LEAVE it alone.
Oh, and MSFS 2024 is in the virtual attic at the moment until it’s stable enough. Still i am not sure if I can force myself to contend with the horrendous UI. May be I’ll since I really like the new ini planes and a few others like the Albatross.
Asobo is the developer of the Sim and Microsoft is the company which pays for the development of the Sim and determines the release date.
The question is, “Was the sim ready for release?”, I think and most of us think not.
Who is then responsible for the current state of the sim in which it was marketed.
I think Asobo had not enough time to finish the sim.
So i think Microsoft is responsible for this eurly release.

they are both imo. MS is the boss, gives the money, holds all contracts. but Asobo is not out of the picture. if you see that some bug fixes cause new bugs to show up, this indicates to a) complex coding structures, b) possibly intransparent and unclear Management cometences and responsibilities and c) lack of internal communicaton between the teams.
Steve Jobs once said, at a certain level reasons stop matter. and he is right. we dont care why it has bugs or this or that does not work . or if they stop working for 2 weeks.
I find myself having more fun than ever in 2020. I’ve got this route from CYQQ to KSEA that is great at sunrise or sunset, and it’s just long enough for a good airliner run. I’ve avoided them for so long, and now I love a good autothrottle.
Get the eJets from FSS AG on sale now in the Marketplace. There’s the great sounds of Van’s RV-8 in the morning. Put 6 inches of snow on the ground. Winter wonderland.
To me, I havent even bothered with fs24…The downgrade in certain aspects is unacceptable. Specially, I hate the unrealistic colors and the downgraded clouds rendering (simpler, waayyy lower quality rendering distance, badly illuminated, simpler atmospheric depiction, etc.), they only look ok from below at close distance but thats all. Not to mention the over all awful state of mess of the software, full of bugs.
They didnt even fixed yet (present already in the test alpha) the windshield effects bug from the menu 
(it restarts from high to med for no reason)…It feels like they just dont care at all.
Tbh, Im REALLY surprised about how extremely bad they are handling the “new” simulator. It feels like they hate it too.
There was no point in releasing a new sim in the first place, but thats another story.
So yeah, I couldnt care less about fs24…for me, a total mess to date. On the other hand, what really made me enjoy FS20 was the incredible GLOBAL, smooth, incredibly beautiful live weather model from meteoblue back in the first year of fs20, metar just killed all that…Im feed up of waiting for a solution to the live weather clouds looking horrible most of the time since SU5 for FS20…at this point it seems like it will never happen so right now Im done with both, fs20 and fs24.

Ms asobo have to be able to see in live time those using both sims. I can’t imagine mfs24 has a higher user base and daily usage than 2020 currently. The numbers will speak for themselves and msobo will have to realize they screwed this up big time. I haven’t even bought fs24 yet and won’t until I see substantial improvement, working add-ons from 2020 as promised, and a lot of reports from users that things are better. Until then I’ll continue to use fs2020 and not even think about fs24 as an option, probably for a very long time yet.
The only way to get the devs attention is to not switch to the new sim and to not even buy it. Money talks

Offcourse Asobo has to do a better job.
But when the boss say i want a sim that is better for my product the Xbox then Asobo has to make a new kind of sim and can’t finish there existing 2020 version. I think Asobo would rather have continued and improved their existing sim. But that sim was growing to big and was not the best option to launch on a Xbox.
