What is going to happen when MSFS2024 arrives??

Just an example, will add-on planes fly properly when 2024 changes the flight model?  Compatibility is one thing, but will the planes fly the way the developers intended? 

Devs have commented that v2020 changes so frequently that their add-ons already fly differently from release to release even now. 😀

"New sims for old", cried the magician on Aladdin's street.

I suppose my biggest concern is whether the 3rd party planes that I am buying today will fly in FS2024 or whether we will be purchasing a bunch of upgrades.

I wouldn't worry about it at all.

v2024 is an iterative upgrade of v2020, not a new sim.

It will go very much as the recent X-Plane v11 to v12 upgrade went. Which is to say, many of the add-ons were ready by launch day (even the Beta launch day), the vast majority of updates were free, a few devs had nominal upgrade fees (usually for actual better/new features), and a very small number released such a fundamental upgrade that they only offered a full price repurchase. 

It went similarly for release dates.

And considering how good the Default aircraft have become, I know I'll have PLENTY of fun without installing a single addon 😀

I'll probably buy it, and then uninstall it in a row....

Unless Petrovich did some Miracle, I guess the same complaints I have of MSFS 2020 will keep me rather critic about anything regarding it's flight dynamics... Time will tell... Would love to be wrong ...

They've proven to be very serious about improving the FM. The C172, and Guimbal Cabri are Reference Models and fly very well vs MANY of the payware add-ons.

To one degree or the other the same follows with several of the other Defaults.

I think it'll take awhile for Hi Fi FM updates to be applied to 3rd Party add-ons, though.

Same/Same as has been the case with CFD/NPS/SBS in v2020...

It's up to the third parties to take full advantage of what the sim can do with flight dynamics.

The only aircraft Asobo seems to update with new features is the Cessna 172 (G1000)

Community,

Are we expecting this to be released Oct - Dec or earlier?

August is my guess, but the HYPE TRAIN hasn't properly left the station yet so they need to get a wriggle on and show us some decent videos or something to whet our appetites.

The flight is here. I need ATC, not a balloon ride.

Petrovich RL experience was bound by light gliders like delta wing trikes but he has an aeronautical degree and programming experience in the area!

When 2024 is released, there is only one thing that will happen - people will start using it.

Close; when 2024 is released people will start using it and start complaining about it.

People will complain regardless. Should it matter. That is how life works.  Bring on MS2024 and move from the past.

They're only promising balloon rides?
