I’ve completely stopped mucking about in 2024 for all the reasons stated above. I have very limited time to enjoy the sim (as I am currently working towards my Commercial License IRL), so when I want to fly I just want it to work. That being said, I do check on 2024 once a week or so to see how things have improved…. I know that there are back-end service items being fixed all the time, in addition to to the downloadable update.
For me I’ve started tracking start times and time to CTD, yup…. Here are my numbers….
Average Start time - 2:45
Average time to CTD - 24:30 min
My system CTD every time the sim is loaded, sometimes its at an airport, sometimes its in flight departure/arrival/taxiing, sometimes changing aircraft, there is no specific point…
My system
I9-12000k - Water cooled
4090 - Water cooled w/ 24GB RAM
64GB DDR5 RAM
2TB .m2 main drive (6TB on others)
3Gbit Fibre internet (on dedicated 10Gbit Cat6 line from modem)
Pimax Crystal
Aviator Edition
SO like @NixonRedgrave WHY can’t I get 2024 to run? let alone smoothly. Fly mostly VFR in “simple” (steam gauges) aircraft, and yet I see others having no issues.
Currently 2020 runs like a dream for me, so IMHO switching to 2024 feels like going back to the 80’s and trying to run it on Commodore64…
