Woahhhh now SU15 is the last update for the year. SU16 will come in 2025. Interestinggggg

Yup, their full focus is on MSFS 2024 for remainder of this year looks like (which makes complete sense).. also glad they confirmed they're planning on feature discovery videos. Can't come soon enough.. but like we suspected on earlier threads, very likely no new info will come until early/mid June when that big MS/XBox event and then FS Expo occur.

Last update for this year. 2020 will get more sim updates next year.

The team needs to focus on 2024.

But why?! I don't understand this at all, did they explain why?

Historical weather

• they will bring ability to fly in preceding 24 hours weather in MSFS 2024

 

Very nice! I really hate to fly in northern California in the early morning fog all the time because I live in Europe. 🙂

Because not everyone will be switching to 2024 right away.

If you're asking why they're stopping Sim Updates for this year, it's so they can focus more on FS2024.

That's kinda obvious. They need to allocate their resources to getting 2024 right

Not everyone switches to the next FIFA(FC) game, not everyone switches to the next Madden game etc etc It seems like a totally bizarre waste of energy to me

[mobiel 74]

Is it still current that Add-On is supposed to work in 2024?

[Fielder 3,692]

I guess I was wrong, more sim updates coming for 2020 after 2024 is released, but no more 2020 sim updates before 2024 is released.

yes that's fine, so why waste those resources on further improving 2024 and go back to 2020 next year when no doubt a vast majority would've moved on?

They said they plan on back porting some 2024 features to 2020.

oof, the pilot they had doing Photogrammetry capture in Hawaii flaked on them, they didn't finish the job

Top Gun Maverick DLC is leaving the marketplace May 25th

the Beluga and A400 in MSFS2024 are both made by inibuilds

again why?! They're a business, surely they want to sell the new product, they're losing potential sales by updating old software. Seems they class this as an operating system when in reality it's a game!

I'll get on the phone to EA and demand they back port FC24 features into FIFA20 (see, makes no sense!)

[Fielder 3,692]

700 people at Asobo, Microsoft, and others working on MSFS. I never understood that. $50,000 salary per year times 700 is 35 million USD a year. Seems like that would not leave much room for profit.

Bruh iniBuilds straight up lied through their teeth lmao

Well they're probably under NDA

Well wait and see, maybe they'll delist 2020 from sale after 2024 comes out.
