I agree. I’ve been on this ride since VR became available. A polished product right out of the chute is a figment of the imagination. Progress requires two steps forward and one step back and 2020 got pretty ■■■■ close to perfection after years of never giving up. MS 2024 will too in time. Meanwhile, I have tons of happy memories exploring the byways and hi ways of aviation in MS 2020 all the way from Patagonia to the arctic wildernesses. So much to discover! I imagine MS 2024 will too.

Yes, everything but landing and taxi lights seems to be out of sync. In some planes, some of the panels instruments are almost impossible to read.

Just jumped in to a night flight in the 172 Ski. All lights, both internal and external, work as expected.

I’ve also had my first FS2024 CTDs since the patch, with 2 today, annoyingly following fairly lengthy flights.
Both CTDs followed “resource exhaustion” warnings, on memory, so I’d guess that means there’s probably some sort of memory leak. Both flights were in Career Mode and I had noticed a difficulty in getting the quick reply to work early on in the flight, via any controller, it just wasn’t registered in the mission dialogue. Maybe a red herring, but it did look suspicious.
I’d already reinstalled, before the crashes. so not sure that would help, but I might just do it anyway. What’s the worst that could happen? 
so what about the 200+ new features for… you know… actually flying? You don’t see those??
Moderator Edit:
Thank you… I’m going to check again.
Gracias… Voy a revisar de nuevo.
Obviously these issue were not picked up in testing!
It’s annoying on commercial jets as you really need the screens to see what’s going on.
I see MSFS 2024 provide 2 version of hjet but both are LITE that mean the two FMS are not independent.
I bought on Marketplace MSFS 2020 the version of FlightFX where I have lite and full version where FMS are independent.
Will have upgrade about that?

Very good update for me.
Fixed the extremely bright TWY lights 
We can disable Asobo airports 
Doing 60fps in the Fenix at Aerosoft EDDF with lots of injected AI TFC from BATC. 2020 was nowhere near that…
And the lighting is beautifull, clouds etc.
Not tried the career much. If it is bugged ppl could maybe give it some more time for it to mature…patience.
Not flying the default AC much. Just tried the C172, GotFriends etc. Some obviously need to be patched.
Fenix, iniA300 working like a charm in 2024, and performance is way better than 2020…for me at least.
Stuff:
*As mentioned above, some areas/airports are infected by ‘stutter-bug’…fixed internally.
But we don’t know where these areas are…
*No in-cloud turbulence(live-WX): flying through most intense storms on the planet in my mighty C152: no turbulence, no severe up-/downdrafts.
I know many seemingly want a calm flight no matter what. I don’t. Give us a reason to avoid bad WX.
*Light sizes needs to be impoved…
Altogether very nice patch - for me at least.
4080, 7900x3d, 64gb ram, 5120x1440 (ie ‘4k’).

Sorry. That was a typo. I meant 500mbs.
And secondly I’ve been able to see that it’s not the textures that aren’t downloading, it’s the topography from the photogrammetry is totally messed up.
I’ve realised that (where I fly mostly, Ireland) the topography is way off. Whatever AI they’re using is turning hedge rows into mounds of earth, and it looks terrible.
I have by no means a low grade rig. An RTX 4090. Ryzen 9. 64Ram, 500mbs broadband. It’s not my rig.
I rarely if ever comment on forums, but my concerns still stands.
Especially my concern regarding the fact that we essentially are ‘renting’ a game…the server “streaming” model is essentially renting an ongoing product for as long as they support the servers. Why don’t more people see this? We are renting an unfinished product still in alpha and we are not only the testers for the tech, but we’re paying to be so.
Very very sad.
And finally, if you are a gamer of my generation, all this will make sense. I paid a quarter of the price for games two decades ago that I can still play today because I have the software that was sold to me. It’s not reliant on someone else’s server.

The thread for overexposed runway lights has been closed and stated as fixed.
Im sorry to inform you Asobo, but it’s NOT fixed.
Runway edge lights and taxiway center lights (when it’s dark) have way too much bloom and makes it appear much larger than it should be.
Look at EGSS as a good example.
Also strobes have a huge halo around them constantly, so the volumetrics are also overdone. It’s like you are flying in a cloud all the time.
This also counts for landing and taxi lights on aircraft. There is a glow or fog around the lighting even in clear sky.
Then there is the issue of floating lights that can be found everywhere,…
And the sepia mask issue at high altitudes…
So TLDR is : lights in this sim needs a lot of work still and is a major regression from 2020.

Maybe I am alone, but this patch broke most of my 3rd party liveries. I had to remove them from the community folder, if I attempt to use them, free flight loads the weather but never will zoom down to the plane to start flight (endless white loading circle) I was originally able to move some third party community planes over and had secondary livery folders for them, but no longer works, only the liveries within the original plane model work, but not separate custom livery folders. the strangest thing is I even rewrote a custom livery over a working default one inside the original plane folder to test and that specific livery would freeze up as well oddly with the aircraft.cfg untouched and just simply replacing a fuselage texture. I am confused at what now causes this. I had custom Caribou livery files and they worked fine before this patch and now loading them up, the 3D plane wont show up in config (endless white loading circle) and also wont zoom down to start a flight either. the Sim will hang at exit to desktop whenever I attempted trying again with a custom livery. I had to force end the sim. I think an alpha texture issue might be in play, one custom livery works for the 707, but now front fuselage is black while it had worked before the patch.
Also the 2020 Airbus A320 V1 which I had copied over from 2020 to the onestore2020 no longer loads, the only one that was able to still work is the Pelican.
same problem with EFB for me destination and arrival appear as same airport all the time after patch
For people with slow loading issues, there might be a solution if you have the MSstore version installed and have LOCKS on files/folders in AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe
Delete all the folders/files and let MSFS24 rebuild the files/folders, they removed the ‘protection’ in the latest patch.

I was able to complete my first mission this morning since Patch #3 released. I was one of the people who was unable to even get in the airplane without a game crash after Patch #3.
I will keep playing to see if it stays stable throughout the day.
