Share very similar feelings. I didn’t ask for a refund because I expected substantial fixes much sooner (two months later we’re pretty much on the same place), and because here I pay taxed for foreign commerce, so if I ask for a refund and later want to buy again would need to pay taxes again, and they amount for more than 50% of the price.
Edit: one thing more, the intro when you fire up 2024 is full of beautiful missions… which you can’t fly unless you have the time to do career mode, which several of us don’t have. I still can’t believe how half of the sim is blocked unless you don’t have any obligation and can do career mode instead of just having some missions to fly, as anyone would have thought. Innocent me I guess, never thought missions would be absolutely blocked unless you go into career.
