Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 v1.2.8.0 (Patch #4) Discussion

For clarity A) The aircraft was a 2024 default aircraft, therefore it is conceivable that the gigantic and realistic dust cloud I drove through was in fact an intentional artifact of 2024; and B) the environment was one of a 2020 airport superimposed on a 2024 terrain substrate, therefore both visible and apparently able to allow the dust to kick up off loose 2024 terrain through the 2020 runway image. That is how I interpret what I saw and experienced in the sim.

Is that the Cessna CJ4? I can’t find a 404. I only have standard addition.

Um, no. It is the Cessna Titan.

Say, in one of your posts above you mentioned having a similar experience that you compared to the one I described; perhaps why not share which airport(s)/aircraft and phenomena you experienced so we all can benefit from your experience? We are all learning about 24 here.

I don’t have the Cessna Titan I’m guessing it’s part of the deluxe or higher tier packages.

I placed each aircraft in turn onto a beach location, any will do. Then set each aircraft at ready to take off to find out which aircraft have the new effects enabled on them.

Try it out, it’s kind of disappointing I’m not going to lie to see how few of them work correctly but you’ll see which work and which don’t.

A good place to test out the propwash dust is YWGM - White Gum Air Park. South Western Australia.

I gave up on career mode and missions, too tedious to do. all I want is a smooth experience in free flight with all my content available.

Hi since today, while loading I get this message: Loading time unusually long, log saved to Report-loading.toml.
And it stucks at 97% since 10 minutes.
Can I take a look at the report, or is it only for Asobo? And where is it to find?

I think you activated an add-on in the library that is causing this behavior. Reset all and activate them in small groups or one by one.

How can I deactivate them if I can’t acces to the game? In safe mode it loads fine, but all content is deactivated by default.

Once deactivated and you’re able to load into the sim, start activating small groups of add-ons until you have a loading problem again. Once that happens, you’ve narrowed the issue down to one of the ones you added most recently.

BTW, I’ve seen a lot of reports about Seafront Simulations add-ons. The core model library was made free in the FS2020 Marketplace a couple years ago and many of us have it in our Libraries. However, it seems to be preventing people from loading into the sim. If you have it in your Library, leave it disabled.

yes can someone please make this a fix in 24

You’re speaking as though it is a given that Asobo was granted sufficient time to get the sim in pristine shape by 19 Nov. I don’t know more than you do, but I suspect that it’s more likely that Asobo was given neither sufficient time nor sufficient resources to do that — i.e., that it wasn’t possible for anyone to do it under the constraints the main developer faced. And that is from whence the lenience for Asobo derives.

This, OR:
MS brought tom many external developers on board that were all cooking their own stuff and they were way to confidence that it would all fall together flawlessly.
So the deadline for all the external developers was maybe too close to release.
So wehn they all send in their bits of work there was not wnough time left to fix all the issues that was caused by various incompatibilities.

It is just a guess, of course. But just look at all the names that show up during the opening scene when stsrting the sim.
All these comanies have contributed to the final product in one way or the other. And it all had to be compatible.
This sounds quite challanging to me.

It’s always good to remember that X-plane had a quarter-century head start on Asobo. They may not have had the resources Asobo was able to muster, but they’ve had ample time to make up for that. I’m not critical of either group, and I’d like to congratulate both – to XP for their superb flight modeling and to Asobo for their superb job in bringing most of the world into their sim on delivery. It’s less upsetting to us to remain very grateful for what they’ve done at the same time we’re criticizing their most recent efforts.

I think it was an attitude with Asobo, the same one it took with FS20. But that is just the feeling I get from over 4 years of seeing how they act and react. It is not solely MS’s fault.

Just one man’s opinion.

All those “first party” developers working in harmony with a broken/unfinished SDK
? Unless they have a different one to “third party” developers, I can see why it’s such a mess.

Hi all, I thought I was in for the ride but I decided I wasnt. I have found a different game to occupy me during the Alpha phase.

I will be back in the summer when hopefully we are nearly out of Beta.

I realised that there are countless bugs that are very simillar to all the bugs in 2020 when that first came out. Its as if they copied a ton of old code and pasted it in to 2024.

All I can say is it is less frustrating to not play it vs battle on.

Good luck.
