Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 General Feedback

Update on the steam usernumbers.

Funny personal side note:
As of now I get the same CTD in FS2020 as I get in FS2024. A few days ago everything was fine with 2020.
Looks like things progressing very well. Maybe I did end up on a black list now and I am not allowed to play MSFS 2020 and 2024 anymore.

This is getting ridiculous.

2024 worked ok if used used used now minimal settings but now today CTD on starting flights with nothing changed. Had enough of this mess gone back to 2020 with Rexacu seasons and Ative sky. With settings for 2020 at high ultra 2020 works beautifully. I won’t use 2024 had enough until either A350 comes out or the sim actually works. 2024 was highlight§ of the year now it’s a nightmare you carnt escape. Will never trust MS/Asobo to deliver anything again after this fiasco. Bought aviator version for support them now wish I bought the standard versions as the extra planes and airports plus sim don’t even work, please enjoy my £200.00 I won’t be spending a single penny on 2024 until things improve

It just seems like a complete shambles.

Been trying for several hours now to get a short IFR flight completed between EGHI and EGNT. Every attempt has had issues so I’ve given up. The airspeed indicator in the TBM failed, and the flight plan wouldn’t load properly The Longitude, fell out of the sky after about 10 minutes. Controls keep changing and I couldn’t get a the flightplan to load in any aircraft that wouldn’t take several hours to get to EGNT.

It’s just so frustrating. I spent longer taking chocks off than actually flying today. I really don;t know how to make a successful IFR flight in this sim.

It is a shambles. Who’s going to buy another Carenado module? What about Blacksquare? Who do you trust now?
Bredok3d made a wonderful A380. Everyone flamed them. Guess what, it works great in both sims. That sums it up right there.

Challenge accepted.

Here’s Venice, with the known missing Basilica texture of course:



And here’s Amsterdam



Of all these, Amsterdam’s definitely looks the worst, but not sure if it’s any worse than 2020 - and given the underlying data is the same, no reason why it should be any different or better.

I have a good internet connect (500 MBps) but so do many others. The only thing I might have that others don’t at the moment is everything disabled from 2020 and a clean community folder, so absolutely no conflicts and 100% vanilla sim. My aim is to keep it that way until things are more settled.

I’ve not attempted to instal any complex airliners, any scenery or any add one - others than Axis and Ohs.

they didn’t even care about the weather and clouds, they are bad in MSFS 2024. They just changed the colors and call it a huge improvement of weather system. No varieties of clouds, same everywhere.

A week in review has me unsatisfyingly satisfied.
The potential of this title is madness. However I struggle to maintain my patience as i have to get up for the third time in a session to resync my keyboard because I decided to try a different game mode, or take a walk around an A400
(we know the series s wont let me fly that yet), or have a play with the replay mode, once, and then have functionality issues prompting a reboot.

I play at the bottom of the barrel.
I have an Xbox S, I know what my expectations are, however simple functionality and some form of quality assurance testing should be priority surely and not too much to ask in this day and age.

Sever issues at launch aside, third party implementation aside, is the game working?.. Probably, I can never be sure when i turn it on.

I wasnt ready for such a love hate relationship.

The career mode has so much potential but i feel its relience on the automated generation of missions is flawed as much as it is brilliant.
Ive lost so much rep because of bugs in pilot performance criteria.
Crossing runways i cant call permission for.
Landing lights on and the sim tell me they are off. Passengers complaining of a bumpy ride while filming a Tornado. :roll_eyes::smiley:
Specialisation missions simply not loading blocking my progress.
Unable to land near rescue targets because there is nowhere to land, or the target dissipears after the context screen dissapears.
Sound and textures missing, controls reverting to msfs default on every aircraft, regardless of my custom default settings, or in flight just because it feels like it. Replay mode only works once then you have to reboot to use it again
No hope of flying anything bigger that a caravan.

Its annoying, its dissapointing, and after gaming for the best part of thirty years i find it a little insulting that top tier companies keep releasing their games in this state, not just MSFS but nearly all new releases are screwy to start and using the release date as their first official play test, essentially making us simmers all realtime beta testers.

However the scope of what the devs are trying to achieve with this title is mind bending
 I still remember playing Alex the Kid on the Master System.

Give it time and it will be glorious, unfortunately I fear not on the consoles. They just dont have the capacity. The fact it runs aswell as it does is actually witchcraft.

I will persevere with my career as my companies are making money, and i do enjoy the added purpose and jeapordy in the missions, but would love to experience that in a more complete and coherent state (without the hilariously bad voices that you cant turn off without turning off ATC) where i can be sure it was me that cocked up and not the sim having a brain ■■■■.

Turbulence ahead fellow simmers but I know there is promise over the horizon.

I just wanted to see the state of the simulator, have not tried to use it for over a week.
Well - free flight - Germany - Airport selection - waiting for a runway to pick, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting - after 5 minutes i went to the discovery section, the pyramids.
Well loading circle, loading circle, loading circle.
That is happening on a 100 mbit/s line. IT actually worked for some time last week, after I saw the same issues on two different locations on two different computers.

Thank god I did not spend a dime on it, besides gamepass (and i was about to preorder the aviator steam version).

Guys, this is really, reaaaaally bad. No amount of “we did not expect this many people” explains this. What was the alpha test i participated for if not this connection aspect?

I will check back again during the holidays, but there is zero motivation to spend anything on this when gamepass expires.

I want this to work, but the experience feels so amateurish.

Anyone know of a way to have 2024 not freeze up when trying to exit the sim and have to reset settings again when reloading? Very annoying

Looks better than what I’m seeing. Is it possible that people are getting different results when it comes to photogrammetry? If so, I wonder why. I get internet speeds but I have a very fast internet connection. I also get graphics settings but I have a 4090 and my graphics settings are set to ultra. Thanks for accepting the challenge though, I appreciate it. Happy flying!

I’m on a 3080 so on high settings, not ultra. Go figure!

What are you talking about? I wasn’t replying to you.

And by the way, my sim is working pretty well right now.
