You mean like the 737 Max in real life?
No he doesnât and has already said so. He has been very helpful to the community, and he is a user just like you and I.
Regarding the release date, that has been hashed to death. I only look forward now to what will become of 2024.
The same reason Facebook has two updates a week and all the âbigâ apps change things, not for the sake of changing for the better, but for the sake of changing to justify their job. They convince upper management âno no this is what people want⊠something new all the timeâ. Bill Maher did a great diatribe on technological âchangeâ that describes how âchangeâ makes the nerds happy and gives them something to do while all it does is confuse the mainstream individual and pushes away the elderly who canât keep pace with all this change. Most importantly, often, not for the better, but for the sake of changing something. MSFS2024 could have been crazy good but they haaaad to go with an online streaming model. Storage is sooo cheap now why would they bother? They could have taken the best of MSFS2020 and added what they added and made it a no-brainer to want to upgrade. The fact that there are so so many people who havenât upgraded still makes it pretty convincing that 2024 is NOT an improvement. It doesnât help when people are posting (probably people who just like to argue) saying: âyes but itâs better in xx way and yy wayâ. No. Itâs not. How is 2024 better? The flight physics are not that much better. Once 2020 figured out a lot of the flight physics issues, it is no worse than 2024. Also, the graphics - as it stands - is much better in 2020 (assuming a function of streaming). The crashes / instability are worse in 2024. The third party is worse in 2024. So, this could be one of the few ânewâ releases that is worse than the predecessor.
They wonât remember anything. Just like when MSFS2020 was first released and was a complete disaster! It came out worse than 2024 and people said âIâll never jump on the bandwagon and buy the next release right awayâ.
I didnât did I? All I said was:
So I didnât âinsinuateâ anything. In the past I have speculated why the sim was released when it was. But Iâm over it and have moved on.
Iâve gravitated back to using FS2020 for now. Iâve got the Velocity One Controls, and Iâm tired of having all the custom profiles for FS2024 dropping assignments, when the defaults work well for FS2020.
Neither actually.
Thank you!
I wonât be going back to 2020, as my experience has largely been a positive one, and being involved in the SU2 beta has made that quite clear to me, that this is the way forward, not returning to the past. Yes, there are things that work better in 2020 currently, but that wonât always be the case.
2024, for the most part, does exactly what I want it to do. Most of my time is spent flying smaller planes into remote parts of the world. Iâll seldom be found at a big hub.
Iâll definitely give 2024 another serious try once SU2 is out.
I donât even spend maybe 1% of my time in 2020. I moved 2020 to a cheap 8tb HD to free up space on my SSD. Loading times are much longer. But the only reason I fire up 2020 is to compare things with 2024.
Well said - pretty much where I am with thisâŠ
For me it is the other way around.
Most of the time i fly stable and smooth with MSFS2020.
Sometimes i try if MSFS2024 has less stutters and the blurry graphics are a bit sharper.
I get terrible performance in 2020 compared to 2024. But then again, I am using DX12 in 2020.
So weird isnât it. Performance for me in 2020 is so much better. And this is with better graphics because the draw distances for TLOD are further dumbed down in 2024.
Actually I get better performance in 24, I just donât like the sim. Other than starting faster and better performance, 2020 still looks better and more realistic. The clouds are an immersion killer for me.
The clouds are so much better in 2020. Such a big step backwards in 2020.
Huh? This is sooo confusing⊠there are people adamant that clouds, weather are much better in 2024⊠which is it?
Those people fly below 3,000 feet, so they canât see 100+ miles away. Whatâs near you, looks decent. Once you get above that you notice how bad it looks, almost like Asobo never went above 5K either during the entire development process.
Text is one thing, images are another.
It would be helpful to have an image from both sims of the same scene, same weather, where the user can point to the bits in each that are good, and those that are bad.
Itâs like trying to describe the colour blue to someone who is blind.
Iâve done many, many comparisons of Asobo default live weather, and Active Sky, for example, and in both sims.
