No, I haven’t flown airliners, on career mode I’m just reaching the Turboprop training. Getting to airliners is not a trivial matter unless you’ve flown them before and MSFS 2020 gave the barest of training that went right over my head. The Helicopter training has been patchy, but on the whole 2024’s training has been a good deal better than 2020.
By the sound of it then, the parts that aren’t working so well are aircraft I haven’t got to yet. Not really a way for me to know that.
I don’t think I’m unique. I’m closing in on my 50 hours flight time, but that’s an Xbox achievement that has been met by 0.04% of those who have started up the sim. And 2 hours each at the controls of 1. A Jet, 2 an airliner, 3, a glider and 4, a Rotorcraft has been met by only 0.01%
Honestly, I’m proper fed up of this now. I spent £130 for a game I physically can’t use! It freezes and crashes at every opportunity, when I can get in things don’t load properly like airports and aircraft. I bought the new Xbox to play the newer version and seriously, what a load of ■■■■! I have tried to reinstall, and it’s fixed nothing too. For now I think I’ll stick to 2020 until this is fixed, if not Im half tempted to request a refund!
Yes, you can do it in the video settings from your Xbox dashboard. Just set your refresh rate to 60hz. OF COURSE there’s no in-game options to turn this mode on/off. Anyway, if your gaming monitor doesn’t support VRR ( variable refresh rate ), i strongly suggest to not use the 120hz mode because the fps variations are pretty crazy.
Has anyone had/seen trim wheel issues? Flying with a VelocityOne, sporadically off autopilot on landing my trim wheel will slam to -99 and I’ll nose dive
That supports my hypothesis that the simulator “is there” and it is not an Xbox hardware problem, but how it manages its obtaining data from the servers that provide the entire scenario
I’m a bit sceptical about that. Basically you have a small circle around the plane where everything is loaded while outside it you get only a washed texture without any details. You can clearly see patches of trees and terrain popping-in when you move the plane ( and so the circle ). This how the dynamic LOD works, not a server issue. It’s incredible aggressive and really hurt the whole experience, but judging how they handled it in 2020 ( in the worst way possible ) i’m not expecting miracles here.
Firmware was up to date. I ran some tests today and found that I had a random binding sitting on the yoke errors to decrease trim. I must have been hitting that when adjusting the rudder trim.
Some of these new 2024 profiles have some very strange mappings. I need to spend some time checking every switch and button.
2020 add-ons don’t work in 2024 at the moment so you better not use them. They don’t support the walkaround feature and can also exhibit all kinds of bugs. Of course, you can try teleporting to the cockpit with LB + B, but I don’t know if it works with 2020 add-ons.
I’ve done about 20 hours of flying and in general it hasn’t been too bad of an experience. However, yesterday I had a couple of freeze ups on the settings page and a couple of crashes.
