I think there will always be a negative bias in these kind of discussion threads. The people who are having good experiences usually don’t come here to write about it. But that’s probably fine, because one of the main points of having these forum threads is to push the development of the sim towards an even better state all the time.
It depends what aircraft you fly. If it was a Cessna 172 simulator and it was the only aircraft available it would be a 10/10
But it’s not, in airliners some of the time it’s 5/10 and other times 8/10
It’s definately improving and IMO better than 2020 in some parts, but lacking in others.
Once we get some legit 3rd party planes in 2024 where the Devs know what they are doing we will see greatness. The only thing holding a candle to 2020 is the fleet of 3rd party greatness, which at this point in time, none are available on 2024 Xbox except the Chinook and a few GA props

Fs2020 can run 50-60 fps on xbox (1444p no hdr) - fs2024 is herz distorted slideshow in comparison (same settings). That is the difference.
Excellent post - fully agree…
Yes.
Also I agree with the posts above in response to mine, especially the one about airliners. I fly for an airline and would rather give myself a root canal than spend even just 5 seconds in a big plane in -24. So my xbox experiences are all in models (mostly helicopters) that probably require way less processing overhead to run.
I see no performance, LOD or graphical improvements in SU2 on Xbox Series X whatsoever. Look at this shadow quality and ground texture quality.
The aircraft’s shadow in external view is just a blob, and ground textures don’t load because of this “automatic LOD system” on Xbox, which turns everything down to zero because the game doesn’t fit into memory. All while the game constantly stutters, because as soon as you move the camera, it has to stream everything in, trying to load the scenery from the servers. It’s just as ridiculous and unenjoyable as it was at launch.
And this is not even the largest airliner. So far I haven’t even dared to use the A400M, the Beluga or any of the wide-body Boeings.
Looks like MSFS 2024 will not get any better on Xbox. It’s a failure. 2020 looks and runs infinitely better. I wish these aircraft were available there as well.

I second this. I just got back for the first time since maybe January. Been hearing a lot of apparent good things after SU2 dropped and figured finally there is an improvement in performance.
Couldn’t be more wrong. Performance, especially with airliners, has just not improved at all. Maybe got even worse for me. And I’m still on 1GB wired connection.
So yea, instant uninstall for me 
I’m more convinced that MSFS 2024 was forced on console, and it won’t get better.
Meanwhile MSFS 2020 continues to be great.

Does anyone else have an issue with the airbus A400 on Xbox series X)
If I start the AC cold and dark, I can’t switch the batteries on (press buttons but nothing happens) and also can’t even get external power (can’t contact ATC to request external power as the batteries don’t turn on the power).
On the EFB, it does nothing if I go onto ground and press start on APU, start on GPU or ready for takeoff, just remains in the cold and dark state.
If i start on the runway, the sim starts with all four engines running, but then three engines spool down straight away, leaving engine 1 running but with absolutely no displays or indications on in the cockpit.
Have tried deleting and reinstalling the game (including saved data) and it still behaves the same.
Interested to hear if anyone has had or is having the same issue.
