I’m surprised by how few Quality of Life improvements MSFS 2024 has. The obvious improvement (and this is debatable depending on who you talk to, but it is an improvement nonetheless) is the control binding interface revamp with aircraft-specific controls, but there is little else. What has been g…

I just posted in another thread how I got the Sky Courier off the ground before the co-pilot could call out V1, and then three hours later they said it when I landed lol. Me to the co-pilot after they snap at me for my speeds, and then sit there doing nothing as I miss a radio call: [image]

It’s a good list of improvements. I also thought that they somehow made the UI harder to use and this is not just unfamiliarity. It just seems to take more clicks to get where you want in the UI. I’m not even talking about the control configuration which is difficult but not too bad considering how…

[image] Sal1800: It all depends on how much access such an app would have. But at least it’s a path to write code that can interface with the sim. I have done zero investigation into the API (I’m assuming here) for the EFB. In poking around with Navigraph’s 2024 suite it is exciting to see t…

A step backwards is that the UI can’t be scaled down. It feels like 1995 again when I was playing in 640x480, because the UI elements are so big. MSFS 2020 feels so fresh when going back, playing in 4K with UI elements scaled all the way down :heart_hands:

Here’s another QoL improvement I’d overlooked. My library has the ability to toggle on/off content. In 2020, I’ve gone to the trouble of categorizing my OneStore and Community folder content with colored folder icons. I’d move content by hand to a storage folder to disable them, as needed. I never…

Here’s one of those steps backwards in QoL from 2020-to-2024 that needs to be made right: [image] Revise ATC Window to Show ALL Available Selections Wishlist In 2020, the ATC window will show all available ATC communication choices. See all 10 selections visible: [Micr…

Yeah, I don’t use ATC because it’s a distraction from trying to fly, but I have to in Career, so I was reminded of this right away. No problem, I thought. I’ll just pop out the ATC window and move it monitor 2, expanding it so it shows everything. Nope, all that did was horribly distort the window.

I would go as far as saying I think there are actually a regression compared to fs20. As a whole the complete experience feels more confusing and difficult to learn/use. To me, as a user, that is what matters if you are talking about QoL. I still can not believe someone designed that UI and thought …

You are luck, anytime when I try open any window (ATC, EFB), in separate window for to move to other monitor the GAME crash :frowning:
