What I can say is that if PMDG wants to charge me again full price to upgrade to 2024, that will be the end of my relationship with PMDG.

Even if they promised to release their EFB for MSFS2026?

Speculation.....

"PMDG proudly announces the 737NG4 for MSFS 2024!! A brand new and super authentic version of the Boeing 737NG series (including the latest version of our universally loved EFB; release date to be confirmed)"

Inibuilds did the Beluga for XPL, so I'm quite sure they are behind this.

They confirmed they're not.

This is also a BelugaXL not a standard Beluga.

 

No hint of improved cloud textures (ex. cirrus), realistic ATC, etc.  If you cannot do good ATC or realistic radio comm, how can you do dispatch for several of those new occupational roles? And I want a traffic copter role so we have a reason to watch street traffic!  LOL!

Where is a static Flight Safety level flight training simulation within MSFS?  One that scores? 

Come on!  The sky's the limit!

At least Seedy confirmed they are reading Avsim 😉

I can't believe how pathetic the thread immediately dove into "PMDG without an EFB" discussion.

Regardless, I hope this 2024 is similar to the fsx acceleration pack or something similar versus a completely new simulator.

I guarantee those are scripted missions.  Career mode is likely just tied to missions and similar flying logbook hours.  It'll probably open the door for more 3rd party missions that tie into a "career" advancement.  It's all about catering to the XBox crowd.  We see very little traction in the core sim improvement department.   Us study-level sim users have been asking for improvements to ATC, AI, and weather since the sim launched.  It's just not a priority to them.

After the first thrill I am a little bit disappointed. Instead of showing all kind of mission style scenarios I would have enjoyed more deep dive into a few of such careers paths that highlight dispatching of such missions,  communication on the way and progress. I thing Reno and Maverick were very dull. I hope we get more beef soon for those of us who fly on daily bases. Let‘s see, but I have not much hope…

Speak for yourself. Those heli ops is a great addition for us study-level (eewww that term) sim heli users.

"To achieve this unprecedented level of accuracy, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is powered by the significantly evolved Asobo Studio engine."

But how significantly evolved?

So evolved that the horizon line is still present in the trailer. There are a few shots where it's marked on the official forum.😒

Kind regards, Michael

If 3rd party devs can take advantage of it then you could have really interesting possibilities that people may enjoy. Like what the developer of the Honda Jet has recently said:

Quote

I think we will get expanded possibilities , for the likes of the Hjet for example, I'm sure there will be stuff to update somewhere or some new way of doings things for a certain aspect , to interact with the new business passengers system for example... but look at it this way ,Hjet/Vjet and the likes will be more enjoyable , pax driving to and walking up to the aircraft, requesting you to take them to their favourite ski resort in Aspen , you land, they're happy and disimbark and g their merry ways, giving you a 5 star review if they liked your flying enough , I think this has the potential to add a new,fun, but still realistic sense of purpose ... The crop duster will now actually dust , the fire fighting plane will now extinguish fires ,cargo hauls etc.... if implemented in an open world kind of way i think this truly has great potential. All my notes are based soley on the trailler , But I truly beleive the picture is far brighter than every one is painting it out to be.

I don't have a lot of hope either.  Honestly, like previous versions of MSFS, I don't care if I need to add third party programs to get things working right, but AI has issues that apparently can't be fixed via third party, and the weather system should be opened up, regardless of how pretty it can look.  Not having weather radar in expensive add-ons is a joke.  We had that in FS9.  It's a beautiful sim at times, and I am thankful for it.  I just wish they would address core features that don't work well instead of just adding more gimmicks to it.  This is really why I don't play traditional games.  They release buggy content, don't fix anything, release more missions or maps, et cetera, then come out with new versions.  It's just a money pit.

At the end of the day, unless I can start my career on the ramp loading baggage and worrying about heat stoke, I am not interested. 😄

Mostly excitement me thinks.

Currently there are so many questions.

"We've given up fixing all the bugs with our current game. So buy our brand new Flight Simulator 2024, buy all of your addons again (this time through us), give us your money so we can deliver even more arcade content that you never asked for! Functioning ATC? Never heard of it!"

Edited June 11, 20233 yr by Republic3D

So, it looks like a mission add-on. With seasons thrown in. And rebranded 2024. 
 

Is this part of the 10 year plan? Or is it a whole new sim? More chaos in the world of Asobo/Microsoft/Flightsim.
