I’ll ask again: on what basis did Asobo, who couldn’t handle the slow patch downloads in MSFS 2020, come to the conclusion that they can now stream the world? Did they buy two additional Atari STs as servers?

I totally agree. When I heard in the developer talk that all the information would be streamed, I knew at that moment that this wouldn’t work. I was right.

If MS/Asobo thinks the game is currently good enough for release why not reopen the poll?
Is there someone afraid of getting a picture about the real situation?

When starting up the game, it would load but error code: 0xc0000005 would just suddenly pop up. I have tried several methods to fix this error, but it won’t just work. Also, when I downloaded it thru xbox game pass-microsoft store, it just downloads 11gb instead of 50gb, how can that be fixed? I also have a lot of free storage to my disk so I really need help.
I’m thinking about trying with vpn connection but has someone in Germany recommendations please if this works out?
you realize Asobo has nothing to do with the servers correcet? It’s Microsofts software.. It’s Microsofts servers.
It took 4 days and I was able to fly a plane in this game, which gave me a chance to see some of the bugs. Not played much, half an hour at most, but there is a lot of work required to get it ready for release (yes, I know it already has been released). I had long load times, planes not appearing that I own, planes appearing only partially in customisation, images of planes disappearing in the selection area, I had the ground break-up and undercarriage being unresponsive at times, responsive at other times and the icing on the cake, a CTD. If a caual 30min free flight gets you that many issues, delving deeper will probably get you a whole load more. The basics are not there and I fear there is years of work required to get this release ready. No more pre-orders for me.
My experience has been so bad (Aviator Edition, fyi), I requested a refund this morning, 11/23. I’ll probably not buy another MSFS version again.
I made a post requesting that Microsoft give us the option to choose what to stream and what to download so that those of us with larger hard drives can download more assets freeing up server resources for those that want/need to rely more heavily on the streaming service.
Come vote if you’d like:
Also, the post that you see attached to the link is not my OP and I cannot control the comments of others. Majority of the forum post are positive and I absolutely love the sim and only wish to have the option to download more of the sim. For example, If I want to download North America but stream South America I should have the choice to do so, etc. same with planes and world updates

Please micrasobo, improve the performance of vr. The bring community mostly feels totally abandoned, that’s certainly how it feels to me:( for example, implement quad views.
Much better on Series X today. Yesterday career mode, even in the little Cessna Skyhawk, was plagued by low-ish FPS to the point where it was difficult to fly. Today everything by seems much smoother (although the draw distance is still sub optimal). I wonder if the streaming has an impact even on FPS and varies from time to time?
On a positive note, I must say that the career mode is great so far. It’s a really enjoyable addition.
Are you serious?
Career mode: In reality, I don’t have to complete a PPL on fixed-wing aircraft first when I start training on helicopters. Please adjust it so that I can start directly with the helicopter PPL without a detour via fixed-wing aircraft! The next step would then be the CPL (H). And our voice from the helicopter community discussed this with the person responsible for the career mode at the launch event. But apparently nobody is interested.

Nobody paid for a product that doesn’t work, but for a product that works a few days late. A few days! The behavior of gamers is that of spoiled children. I want everything, right now, or I roll on the floor! Indeed, next time, it would be better for Microsoft to do a gradual release.

Be happy if it works for you. However, the simulator is still not available to hundreds of thousands of people. It doesn’t work for me either. That’s a fact.

THE PLUSES – On the occaisions when I can actually get into FS2024, it appears to make more efficient use of my CPU and GPU. In some places, (e.g. in St. Lucia in the Caribbean) the default topography, and vegitation seems greatly improved.
As a “Virtual Tourist” user type, I love the walk around feature and am intrigued by FS2024’s potential when combined with products like Time Machine Design’s Hadrian’s Wall 180, Aerographer’s Giza Pyramid Complex, or a port of Byzantium 1200.
THE MINUSES – There are lots of bugs. That’s to be expected with any complicated new product. But as someone has had to manage a number of IT projects, I don’t understand why MS-Asobo made the launch so difficult and risky. Why did it not stagger the launch by region to test its servers and streaming tech? Why did it make bug-spotting and fixing more challenging by throwing FS2020 marketplace add-ons into the mix? I see scenery issues in London, Rome, New York, and Toronto. But I can’t tell if they are due to a) FS2024 bugs, b) deficiencies in my FS2020 market-place add-on, or c) conflicts between them.
HELPFULL SUGGESTION – Make bug spotting and troubleshooting easier by releasing an update ASAP that turns off all FS2020 marketplace add-ons and provides users with a means of turning them on idividually.

Sorry.
I paid for a product to be working on November 19th.
That was the deal.
It would be out of the question if I would have paid a few days late! Days!
Why would hold the big corporation to other standards than the customers?
Of course, we should expect a few bugs. A handful of big bugs, many small bugs.
But at no point, it was or ever will be acceptable to release a product that can not even be started by a significant number of customers.
Even MS acknowledged the disaster. So it is beyond me how some users can defend that inacceptable release.

I think that some people are “sheep” & some people are “Shepherds”.
5 days and still crash at menus or before finished loading IN UK
2024 is a paramount improvement over 2020. The vegetation was completely overhauled and now looks simply amazing. The animals need some more work to make them move more properly and their density should be refined as well; nevertheless, they appearence is fascinating. The “Rock AI” is great and landscape now look much more realistic creating photorealistic graphics at some places. I would love to see the same done to rivers and streets using AI procedures to create actual roads and flowing rivers.
Just a short question, anyone knows if this franchise is going to see further improvements or is this the end of the line?
