Yup I’ve finally uninstalled and gone back to 2020. I’m a GA pilot and right now the GA experience is completely fugazi. They’ve released a dud.
Someone let me know when 2024 gets back to 2020’s functionality. All I want is 2020 with 2024’s graphics.
Preordered on day one, still haven’t installed. Will check back every now and then to see when it gets usable. Not refunding it. I’m confident it will eventually be fixed up mostly.
Great job, marketing! You got it out the door on time and that’s what’s most important, isn’t it?
I get the impression that this game has not been tested. There are a lot of just stupid mistakes here. For example, stones on the runway. Which cause the plane to crash on takeoff. The mission starts without the parking brake. When the plane can roll off a cliff. These are errors that are fixed with a single line in the code. But they are there.
I’m not talking about serious mistakes. When textures are loading very slowly, for example. Or a scientific mission that causes the game to crash. And it resets the rating…
I’m a regular user. I’ve been playing MSFS since 1999. And I am very disappointed that the developers have released a very expensive and very unfinished product.
5 Minutes now and not loading a f… thing!
500MBit fibre glass internet connection and yet it is an ashaming result of total technical fail on MS/Asobo side!
What else shall people do to make it work??? Move to the US to be as close as possbible to the servers? Invest additional money in VPN software?
This state of the Sim is a yoke even 2 updates/patches after the release.
Sorry but freaking bloatware at the moment and nothing more!
Not personal feedback more data driven feedback from steamDB.
The fact that a 4-year-old game is getting more active players then the new version should be a message to MS.
Get your s… together and make MSFS 2024 a success story as we all hope for.
Start talking honestly about the current issues and fix it quickly!
Make it as enjoyable as you announced it already!
Well knowing there might be more players on gamepass than with 2020. Anyhow this is the only reliable source we have so far as customer feedback.
My Flight Simming day today:
Making a video about how Taog’s Huey has abnormal performance hunger compared to FS2020.
Trying the native iniBuilds T-33 for FS2024 that didn’t work properly (erratic engine/throttle behavior that made flying it impossible).
Trying the Career Mode for the first time. See below (it worked 10 minutes later, though, although with very long loading times and stuttery cutscenes).
After that I had enough for today. I will try again tomorrow, hopefully with better luck.
is it just me?
I set a 100GB cache in under 2 minutes. What magnetic tape drive were you using?
Also, the cache sometimes worked… then when I ran the sim again, it didn’t load map/airport/plane data the first time. The cache is ahem hit and miss.
No, MSFS2024 is clearly not ready for release. I plan to install my copy in about 3-months when (I’d hope!) it’s a bit closer to working as described in all the pre-release marketing.
Just as well we can continue using 2020 while they make 2024 ready for prime time.
Oh. Wait…

And how is that ok by any of you? You want another 4 years of patches just to get a sim in working order?? This is unbelievable.
Well then go back to FS20 if it upsets you that much.
I just bought the game and I am brand new to the franchise. It has done nothing but crash. Not sure if issue is with my PC or the game itself. Graphics freeze and I get an error from my GPU software - “AMD software detected that a driver timeout has occurred on your system.”
Try updating your MB’s firmware
Come on Asobo, throw all of us Beta testers a bone.

If they do ‘give’ us something, it will be some old, steam gauge, plane from 1930…
I’d say a free plane but it’d probably have a bug and we wouldn’t be able to start it.
How about figure out a way to improve upon MSFS 2020 with new visuals and better graphics and keep all the career stuff to 2024 as is. For those who want that, they can play with the gamification parts that 2024 has brought in, which aren’t doing so well for most serious simmers. Everything else in MSFS 2024, ie free flight, is just not good, not fun, and not well coded.
for those of us who want an actual sim to do our charter flights, practice our pilot’s license, learn complex airliners, MSFS 2020 is where it is.
AMD version is up to date, will have to grab USB from work to update MB bios. It is a few versions out of date
