March 21, 20242 yr Do you expect a mass shift from MSFS2020 to MSFS2024, like from FSX to MSFS2020? I wonder if we will be able to jump back and forth between the two for some period of time. Surely Microsoft/Asobo will not abandon MSFS2020 anytime soon. Thoughts? How about the major 3rd party guys, do you think they will shift priorities to the newer sim? Just wondering. . .

March 21, 20242 yr All depending on the following factors 1. Stability of the sim. If there is major issues with crashes, textures, stutters and we will need to wait for several patches or hotfixes. 2. Addon compatibility. I think sceneries will be compatible almost from the get-go. Aircraft may take up to a 3-6 months ( just a ballpark figure) for people who have top-end systems( like myself) , i don't think sim performance will be an issue. i would say within 6 months MSFS20204 will be the dominant sim.

Exactly, although I expect aircraft to be compatible much quicker. Me personally I will wait until 2024 is stable (CTDs!), everything I fly is compatible and the first addon arrives that I want and that only can be used in MSFS 2024. I don't think the general improvements will be that big for my kind of simming, so I can wait it out. For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord. However, I do not get paid for it in any way.

March 21, 20242 yr Since it will be on GamePass I am sure the total number of users will be higher on 2024 from the day of release. Regarding AVsim users I am not so sure. // 5800X3D // RTX 3090 // 64GB RAM // HP REVERB G2 //
March 21, 20242 yr What is going on here a lot of ? topics here. What are people afraid of.? Geez Relax Life goes on. Playing a game/sim on a wide screen is not the end of the world. Edited March 21, 20242 yr by JBDB-MD80

March 21, 20242 yr The only thing we know for sure is that the community will be in an uproar about one thing or another. No matter how well it actually goes. 🙂 "That's what" - She
March 21, 20242 yr What's going to happen? On hearing MSFS2024 has released, 95% of MSFS2020 flight simmers will respond like this: Depends on the availability of payware aircraft, but I expect a lot of people to buy MSFS2024 on day one, if only to see what the improvements look like for themselves.

For sure re: jumping back and forth.. and that some period of time will be in the order of a few years per what Jorg+Seb said in various interviews at last year's FSExpo. i.e: https://www.helisimmer.com/interview/msfs-2024-helicopters-future-msfs-2020 Sergio: Microsoft indicated that MSFS (2020) will still be supported going forward and everyone seems to be freaking out because they think the world is ending. After all, that support will end soon, right? Or is it? Jorg: I think the general perception needs to be, in 2020 support continues, right? We want to make this great. When feasible, when there's improvements in 2024, we are thinking about backporting as feasible. We don't know if everything can be, most likely not everything. But we'll try, you know, make it as good as we can. Sergio: I asked Jorg if they had any idea of how many years we would expect support to continue. Jorg: I do. But I'm not going to tell exactly what year is simply because things change. But the plan is for many years to come. At least a handful. Let's put it that way. That's probably a safe way to say it. Len 1980s: Sublogic FS II on C64 ---> 1990s: Flight Unlimited I/II, MSFS 95/98 ---> 2000s/2010s: FS/X, P3D, XP ---> 2020+: MSFS Current system: i9 13900K, RTX 4090, 64GB DDR5 4800 RAM, 4TB NVMe SSD
March 21, 20242 yr There will be a mass exodus from day one and I'm confident 2024 will have a much smoother launch than 2020 did because the team is a lot more experienced now. Let's also not forget that on some level, 2024 is a massive fix for issues we've had with 2020. 5800X3D. 32 GB RAM. 1TB SATA SSD. 3TB HDD. RX 9070XT.
