They will work. It was confirmed by the devs, e.g. in the last dev live stream.

I'm excited but with their track record of poorly released Sim Updates breaking something then I won't be wetting the bed in anticipation of this title, day one purchase most definitely, but I'm prepared to be disappointed by some aspects - no it'll never be perfect, nothing is, but this current Sim proves that it could be a whole lot better and I just hope overall MSFS2024 is just that.....better.

My goodness what a glass-half-empty viewpoint.

It makes me want to go back to Prepar3D where everything is so much better 😉

Clouds look as bad as they currently do in MS2020. Shame really they haven't done anything with something that you would think is critical in a flight sim. 

They have improved. There's more layers of clouds, and there's no way you can recreate these clouds in 2020 right now

Clouds in the last two shots above seem more like stratus. It was an impressive trailer overall for me. I think there is still a lot more to learn about the weather system in particular which is hard to tell from the trailer. But I think there will be major changes in the performance if much more of the processing workload is done in the cloud as they have previously said. That is something you can't readily show in a trailer like this.

But at the moment, i'm interested in the frame by frame nitpicking : )

I figured they would be pushing to the near limits of 2024 but that still gives them a solid 5 months to keep refining and adding towards release!

Just preparing myself for the inevitable lack of Quality Control that has plagued this Sim since launch, sorry to be factual 😉 I'll be delighted if they've finally sorted this area of course, fingers crossed eh!?

They look very similar to me...  I spend a LOT of time looking at clouds irl and in the sim.  The lighting is slightly changed (I think for the better) but the cloud layers - I count 3 there.  I made 3 here... 

There's definitely some lighting and scenery changes (like slightly higher res DEM and generated rocks and things near the ground), but I'm not seeing a massive change to the sim from the trailer #2

Let's hope they really attack the flight model and things like water physics.

Y'all do realize that what you see in marketing trailers and what you get in game are going to be miles apart.  Just look how smooth it looks in the trailer.  MSFS have never looked that smooth.  Ya'll keep dreaming though.

It does if you use frame gen in RTX 40xx series GPUs.  Plus from what we know from prior Asobo dev streams, 2024 will be vastly more efficient on the user's system.  I would expect to gain performance on my current PC in 2024.

It's all in-game footage according to the disclaimer at the start. It's not pre-rendered or anything.

OK.  Mark my word.  Hope I am wrong, but I am not.  Same with 2020 marketing.
