    Well, at 74 yo I find it prudent not to plan anything a year ahead 😄 ! Of course its all about money. And this is great.  We give them money, more or less as much as I need to fill my SUV tank fo

Interesting!

Cool story.

i9 9900K at 4.9ghz, MSI RTX 3080, 32 G RAM, (3) 1TB SSD 

I'm sure we'll all end up moving to MSFS 2024 eventually, am I excited by the trailer?

NO, it just looks like another upgrade of what folks are already doing in the sim with 3rd party addons.

Does a whole new 2024 title release feel like a totally cheesy money grab move? YES

Just hoping the new features and improvements list is something to be excited for such as...

Native Shared Cockpit Online Functionality 

Better Camera Functionality ie Spot View Zoom/Pan, Native First Person Camera

Better Air, Ground Traffic and ATC  AI Logic

Better default Trees, Foliage and Improved Photogrammetry 

Better Default Rain/ Windshield Effects

More details with default aircraft ie operable doors etc etc

The way I see it, if you upgrade to 2024, there is probably no need to keep 2020, as 'the vast majority' of addons will carry over. 
So you will only need to keep your 2020 installation if you don't want 2024.  If this is the case, I can't see any reason for me to keep 2020.

A bit like train sim really, where you either 'upgrade' each year or you don't, and if you don't you just keep using your old version.  If you do upgrade, it makes your old version redundant.

2024 will swallow all of our 2020 content, but it will just add a newer graphics engine, plus new features, missions, and the new aircraft they show off, and of course, they want paying for it, which seems fair enough to me.  And if people don't like the deal, they get to keep their 2020 version, no problems.

That's the way I see it anyway.  I know people can say 'you can't be sure', but at the moment, the balance of evidence points to this.

And meanwhile 2020 is moribund. Good luck to any developer that brings out an addon and fails to state that the upgrade to 2024 will indeed happen and that it will be free!

What would be only slightly more interesting is hearing from anyone who has decided not to. 

If it's any help, I have decided not to buy FS2020. I will wait to see what FS2024 has to offer :smile:

You are going to love it! Medals, league tables, scary missions with goodies and baddies, loot boxes, Zadok the Priest playing when you land  and animated graphs with flashing lights. Oh, and a nice white dot. 😀

Fs2024 is so real and jam packed with AI and missions.

If you crash you’ll have to wait till a rescue helicopter arrives and transports you to a hospital where you will remain for multiple days.

Every time you then launch Fs2024 you’ll find yourself in a hospital bed ….

And your ac is taken out of the ac library till Fs2026…

It's so realistic, if you crash you have to walk back to the airfield 😁
