There very fact that the “MARKET PLACE IS COMING SOONS” should have told all of us Asobo rushed to release this simulator well before it was ready.

I understand why it take so long before the marketplace is back online.
Before the release of this beta version of the new MSFS simulation there was no detailed info, pre-release version or sdk handed over to the 3d party developers.
So the 3d party developers could finally start with the compatibility check of there products after the release of the new sim.
I would expect that the 3d party developers had months before the release all the info they need.
They didn’t sell us a beta…In reality, we bought into “early access”. The beta will happen later…

Fine but at least they should actually own up to the issues and acknowledge to the community this needs fixing. Their latest blog posts reads as though everything is honky dory.

What are the issues? They have the bug reporting threads and the wishlist. We can all go and vote there if we think the issues are important. These guys have always owned up to the issues based on that feedback. Random posts in the forums complaining don’t help anybody.

No they haven’t.

More like a crowd funded Kickstarter project. Different funding levels you get extra goodies like extra virtual or plastic model planes. And like Kickstarter stuff, it’s not finished but has lots of promise
I’m starting to feel that Asobo bit off more than they could chew when accepting to create a new flight sim and that they could have been the wrong man for the job.

But thereinlies the developer pushing back to say it is not ready. That’s the role of a developer.

The truth is that we should never have purchased MSFS2024 after seeing all the problems with MSFS2020. Rationally, it is difficult to believe that a partner who betrayed you once will not betray you again: it is just that we were all so eager to believe it that we fell for it again. It is our own fault: the sooner we stop expecting it to work, at least for a year, the sooner we will avoid unnecessary frustration.
Oh, now the comment will be blocked, and this will prove that I was right.

Mh, I don’t think that just because your post gets blocked it necessarily means you are automatically right.
I don’t agree that FS2020 was any sort of betrayal. FS2020 is a great achievement - best flight simming game ever made - for me easily the best in the MSFS series.
FS2024 at current stage is the complete opposite.

This is a solid point.
They’ve stuffed this one up so much that I think it will take a very long time for anyone to trust the readiness of whatever comes next.

I mean we were expecting bugs, but not to the extent that the sim has. Its ridiculous to release something in such a state.

Yes, But not when it came out: in the meantime, we all paid for it; then, two years later, we were able to enjoy it.
In this sense, it was - indeed - a betrayal.
since the release, nothing has improved…
It’s not only bugs. It’s just really shoddy work. Like ATC saying Eff Ell 130 for Flight Level 130. Whoever coded and reviewed that must never have experienced aviation before.
At times I do wonder if they used AI to make much of this game.

That is outright wrong.

This is likely a side effect of using Azure Text-to-Speech and Natural Voice ™ for the accents. The LLM hasn’t been trained to speak out acronyms. Which is why FS’20 could say “Runway 25 Right” but FS’24 can only say “Runway 25 R.”
I have a thread under my username that might be of interest to you - I’m asking for the ATC to have an off-line capability so those of us who enjoyed more compliant Phraseology can reapply our Mod files against the ATC script. Right now, it’s an all or nothing with Azure.
