MSFS24 just the positives

[ExplorerJB]

Some of the positives I’ve seen.

• The tree models look fantastic. They completely change the look of the world.
• Flight physics. Particularly the takeoff/landing phase is so good. This is in regards to the 172, as I haven’t flown a ton of others just yet.
• Quick load times. Loading a flight is so much faster than before.
• Animals. They add a bit more life to the world.
• career mode is actually drawing me in more than I expected
• EFB is a nice addition - i just have to learn it
• Seasons. This is a big deal for me. Not only did they include the four seasons, but I noticed they change incrementally too. There’s not simply an “autumn” look. It progresses every day throughout the season.
• ground deformation/grass laying down where you’ve rode over it is really cool
• getting out of the aircraft is amazing. I landed on a beach yesterday and being able to hop out and walk around the area was really neat
• menus and setting up a flight feels much easier on xbox than it did in msfs2020

There are some negatives or imperfections that come with the above mentioned positives, but to keep it to just the positives we’ll leave it at that.

For me - even after installing Addonslinker and adding the majority of my 2020 addons - the game launches faster than 2020. I haven’t timed it, but I think I will later just to compare.

Also - VR is super smooth and I’ve done very little to the settings. I used their suggested settings for my system (7800x3d, 4090) and VR works great around 60fps unless in NY or something. Granted, in time I’ll push things. But for now - it looks and performs fine.

I have not been brave enough to move any community content in yet.

I can tell my own scenery stuff will need some work given how much has changed.

My positives are the visual realism and smooth VR performance. But much basic stuff needs fixing.

Yesterday I flew through Tasmania, it was Live Weather.
I had adjusted my graphic settings with with DLSS and the flight was superb. Good frame rate, very convincing atmosphere, some rain close to peak of a mountain, strong winds there also.
Even though some bugs still are plaguing the Simulator, I can say there is no more going back to 2020. Msfs 2024 is far superior.
