Be asured it is not only a UK problem. Same here in DE. Support does it best but only replies with a standard anwser. No real support in terms of fixing a specific problem.
I agree with this, and I find the mix here interesting, I wonder if they genuinely just have some regions or isps that have issues? do some of these people struggling with streaming accidentally have some sort of firewall or hosts file modification, would love to see it figured out
for what it’s worth, after the first day of issues I’ve been able to login just fine within 1-2 minutes, streaming is 99.9% of the time very fast for me even though I’m in the UK and have fairly low bandwidth (40-50mb) and genuinely the game runs far better than 2020 ever did and looks way better
Absolutely has bugs and things to iron out but I’m very excited for this game as a base for future updates and I hope everyone struggling with issues gets it resolved one way or another, whatever the cause

This would directly confirm, that in your case the recommended specs (50mbps) lead to satisfactory results, streamingwise. Keep in mind that with third party add-ons the bandwidth will increase to a 100mbps as per Asobo. I hope this won’t result in yet another wave of frustration for many, which means it probably would be good if they add options to download some of the stuff to have it installed on your machine directly.

Is there someone who has bind his/her thrustmaster TCA stick and quadrant and i williing to share /show the setup for like the cessna 172. For some reason i cannot copy my ms2020 version which i see other players can select in the control settings. I have been trying to bind it and keys, but when i leave the game and load it again everything is gone…it is driving me crazy.
On my low end gaming laptop, with more or less medium graph settings it have around 17/20 fps which is the same as i had with msfs2020 although now it streamed instead of all on the pc. I do wonder when al the updates come if this laptop will still be suitable for this sim. After WU9 i think in 2020 i lost so much fps and i fear a bit it will also happen in this sim
As a fan of travelling, I love this simulator so much. For me this simulator is more of a planet simulator rather than a simulator for flight. Therefore, I will discuss some places which are not simulated very well and hope Microsoft will remend them.
First, I think the simulation of waterfall need improvement. For example, I tried Victoria Falls and Niagara Falls, both falls are still and for Victoria Falls even you cannot see a waterfall there;
Second, I fly to some island in south east Asia and Greece, such as El Nido, Nusa Penida and Zakinthos. All these areas are not simulated well. I notice many simulated tropic island are fantastic, such as Bora Bora and the Whitsundays, they are almost the same as the reality. Hope Microsoft could make inprovement for some beautiful islands in other part of the world.
Third, When I fly to the famous Torres del Paine, there are no Los Cuernos and the three towers. There is only a big but relatively flat mountain there.
Last, for some live volcanos, the mouths of the volcanos are “blocked”, you can only see a flat summit on top of the volcanos, not to mention there is no way to get a view of the lavas erupted out of the volcanos, such as Yasur Volcano at Tanna island of Vanuatu and Feugo Volcano of Guatemala, both volcano are blocked as if they were already dead. However they are live volcanos which erupt lavas continuously. So hope there would be inprovements.
Thank you!

I agree with you that a lot of the world is fantastic and the rest is colorful but not great. Jorg explained this in a Q&A that not all parts of the world have the same satelite bing image. Because of country exemption, wars, timing (it’s not that you can map the world in a day or a week or a year) and other stuff. So parts of the world, mainly europe and north america f.i. are very much mapped (and thats why those parts of the world get so much world updates) and other parts way less.
I hoped after manudesign and we love vfr got a lot of powerlines and fabriks and stuff in that perhaps someone could add other standard things in msfs2020
I do hope south america, africa and especially asia get more updates. Northern Pakistan or places in Thailand, Cambodja and Vietnam, Those areas are visually stunning
On fs2020 it has been asked several times over the years to bring a legacy instrument interaction system to Xbox. To eliminate the annoying blue light when you interact with the switches on the plane. Well a legacy mode has been added on Xbox only it doesn’t work. As soon as I go to cockpit interaction system and change from “lock” to "legacy "the blue light stays anyway and going to check again it automatically goes back to “lock”. I don’t understand why after all these years they are still not able to get rid of this light. Next to it it says that legacy mode is exclusively for users with a mouse, I have a mouse plugged in and it does not work for me. It must be that those who want to use it can keep it and those who don’t can take it off. For me it is so annoying this, I can’t read some writings in the cockpit because of this blue light. For those who are just starting out it may also help I guess but not for those who have already been on msfs for years. I hope it will be active very soon and not make months and years pass like on fs2020

Also look at the size of the arrow. In the first picture it is mine and in the second picture it is another user’s which is the correct size. On fs2020 it is normal but on fs2024 for some reason it became huge. I have so many problems in the cockpit with this. I don’t know if it is because I have msfs on a TV and not on a monitor but like I said fs2020 everything is normal.
Microsoft, please, please, please hire proper QA staff and implement thorough QA processes for FS2024. This release feels rushed and unpolished, and the issues are glaringly obvious. A product of this scale and ambition deserves better testing and refinement before release. It’s frustrating for the community to be left dealing with sooo many problems that could have been caught with proper quality assurance.

Since MSFS2024 is still not usable for a big part of the playerbase, it would be fair is MS could make all airplanes of the Aviator Edition available in MSFS2020 for everyone who bought the Aviator Edition of 2024.
That way we could at least use these planes in a stable platform and the big monetary investment we made would at least make a little bit of sense.
It should be easy to do in the backend, just license activation.

I’m attempting my first flight with the c172, but the glass refresh rate is horrible, and I can’t seem to find the setting to adjust it like 2020. Does anyone know where that’s controlled now?
A post was split to a new topic: Private DM
Before anyone answers, remember what you saw, have seen and are trying to use as of Nov. 19th was quite literally ‘future improvements’ on the 18th.
Given what has transpired I suppose I would answer the question with another question, if these (2024) are the ‘future improvements’ Microsoft and Asobo intentionally release, does it really matter if they continue?
The end user is the QA, this is the new way of things in the gaming world. Any release you are the Alpha and Beta tester all so that the studios can save a buck.

Continuous total sim blocks if you request route from symbrief with 310. Blocks when you spaw in walkaround mode. And when you want to change aircraft if you go back to the map everything becomes blurry and you have to necessarily reboot or it won’t load anything. What a nightmare
AND NOW CONTROLLER PROFILES AND OTHER SETTINGS WILL NOT SAVE. Here we go again…

Hardly anyone is defending the release. It’s been the worst launch I’ve seen in my 45ish years of playing videogames.
Many of us are choosing not be be crying babies over it though.
Imagine being a person who’s going to rant and rave and melt down because a videogame doesn’t work right on release day. Imagine thinking that MS/Asobo aren’t doing everything they can to resolve the issues. Imagine being someone who’s been around videogames for more than 5 minutes and not anticipating this sorta issue. Why would anyone choose to be that type of person?
Again, this is a disaster of a launch. But throwing a tantrum isn’t going to make it better, is it?

Absolutely.
I was referring to the bit where it basically says it is acceptable to be unplayable for a few days.
It is not.
It can have bugs.
Bit it has to be accessible to everyone.
It is not too much to expect a game to launch at release, at least.
We are on day four and there are still people that can not get into the game.
That is inacceptable. And saying that those people just have to wait a few days is inacceptable as well.
We can not tell MS to wait a few days for our money, either, can we?
