100%. It makes no sense to me why they allow us to use 2020 aircraft with the option to disable them, why they keep the airports locked. Furthermore, they said that with this patch 2020 content would be available to enable. They didn’t clarify aircraft only. It does feel like Charlie Brown and the football. Come on, Microsoft.
FWIW X-Plane has a commercially licensed version that’s usable for logged hours. Other than the license I doubt the code base is any different.

Whether it’s FAA certified is largely irrelevant, even if it was bug free, I don’t think MS would ever submit it for FAA certification. It would need a different software branch and changes to remove certain elements and add others, it’s not the route they’re trying to take.

Xplane is more a flight simulation then MSFS2024 is.
It’s pure flying with very basic scenery and no gameplay like MSFS2024 has.
The aircraft, flight dynamics, the controller setup and the multi monitor setup are all great.
No streaming content, because add-ons, aircraft, 3d party scenery are all on harddisk.
MSFS2024 is for everybody that like to play with all kind of things and situations that having to do with flying and the scenery does not compare to the basic scenery in Xplane. When the server capacity meets the demand it all can look very nice and much better then the scenery that Xplane has to offer.

Wind to me on GA planes seems to be way over the top, not sure if it’s just me but it doesn’t really feel that it’s been tweaked enough.
Another thing I’ve noticed in career since the patch is that majority of my landings are in very strong crosswinds (minimum 15MPH), to a point where I actually can’t remember a landing into a head wind
Folks, we should get this discussion back on topic.
Patch #3 discussion posts only please!

Business not personal. Failed to deliver
Definitely I just uninstalled MSFS 2024, glad I only got it through gamepass.
I feel insulted having to pay for a piece of software that so far only makes me loose hours of my life due to a bug or worse, incompetence in the way airplanes and their systems were coded.
I’ve played a LOT of games since 1980, this “release” is so poor quality that reminds me of No Man Sky in 2015. Few have delved so low.
It’s even more telling how bad the programmers (?) must be when there’s no immediate correction/patch of the most blatant and game breaking bugs/errors.

I got my second mission just last night. I have areas in all the density zones. They are too rare and i am not the only one experiencing the issue
It speaks volumes about the state of the simulator that however long the patch notes are, playing day to day doesn’t feel much different. The same missions break at the same points, the same UI navigation issues remain on Xbox, the game crashes regularly at various points. We’re not even at a point where we could complain about the graphics (on Xbox), because the simulator isn’t even working properly. I would say it’s still fundamentally broken and feels like an alpha build.

Completely agree with you. I remember when fallout 76 was released and it was horrendous. MSFS 2024 is far worse, on Xbox anyway. I’m just glad I never paid for it!
Since the Update iam stuck again in the Loading Screen at 2% for 20 Minutes now …
Excuse me? I think ive baught the game for the full price right?i want the full game! So its my right to complain when after 2 Updates im flying over a 2d wasteland cant fly any airliner and ctds every 10min. Also, my mouse not working anymore after the Update. If the sim is working fine you im happy for you. For me its terrible. Download speed 250mb/s.

By all means, complain all you want. It’s clearly having an effect and getting MS/Asobo to fix things, right?
My comment was in regards to you claiming that the entire game is broken and useless. It’s not.

For some values of broken, and useless. I can use it, and no inflight crashes yet, so I guess I’m one of the luckier ones. I’ve encountered many of the same issues others have, but I can still fly.
I mean, by “immediate patch”, were you expecting a bug fix in a day?
I have a real issue with calling programmers “bad”, when those same programmers, created MSFS 2020 and 2024, something that many of us would never be able to make ourselves.
I feel like rushed might be the more appropriate term. If you rush a chef, the food isn’t going to come out the way you want.

Asobo has so much to do, that we must be patience. 
Otherwise the steak medium will be raw!

You’re not wrong. I mean it sucks for everyone involved that there’s so many bugs, but I’m confident that they’ll get it sorted.
I dont know what you are not getting. To me it is almost useless at this state. I know, its crazy!
For me it works very well now with and only after patch 3. However, my PC is for exclusive use of simulators and does not interfere with other software. For this I optimize the machine, because believe me. it is always necessary. Below I carried out this last experiment with the indications in the video below which helped a lot to make things easier around here. I have a 5800X3D, 4070ti pure an nvme with 2tb of 5500mb/s 64G DDR4 4000mhz running at 4320x2340 (4k + 12.5% upscaling) in DLSS Quality to get rid of ghosts…
