I’ve been a flight simmer for over 5 years with Xplane 11 & 12, so reasonably adept at getting things running, bindings, aircraft, add ons etc.
I was really looking forward to extending my experience into the world of MSFS2024 - new aircraft, new scenery, fantastic pre release PR & Youtube tasters. My wife bought me the Premium Deluxe edition for a Christmas present last November and I patently watched the early reports on Youtube
and in full expectation that there would be bugs at the initial release I’ve waited until well after Christmas Day for the first 3 patches, before even attempting to give it a test run. I’ve now spent 5 days trying to get just 1 plane running cleanly. I’ve tried the 737, all the Airbuses, and am now on the Citation. There’s issue after issue after issue - so poor!
I’m just about ready to pack this in as a waste of time and leave it alone for at least 6 months.
I just can’t understand how a global business like MS can go to market with something that’s clearly not fit for purpose! Shame shame shame.
I’m trying to moderate my report but inside I’m boiling.
Please get your act together and produce a product that actually works like it should.
It’s not just the bugs but also the way the whole concept has been put together - eg why should we have to walk around the plane every time looking for hard to reach “click points” ? And why is the binding process to tortuous? Why do we have to hunt down hidden bindings which already have multiple conflicts? I’m have a fairly standard set up of controllers - Keyboard, Mouse, Honeycomb Alpha & Bravo Yoke and Throttle quadrant but getting these set up, without any instructions, is painfully slow - mainly due to trial and error. Why should we have to search Youtube for end user videos on how they’ve managed to set things up.
Please live up to the “Big Sell” promised in your advertising and PR!
