Am I reading too much into this. or could there be a reason why Aivlasoft EFB was recently discontinued?

I wondered that exact thing a few weeks ago. I never used their EFB so I don’t know how detailed the charts it produced were.

Navigraph used LIDO before switching to Jeppesen. A decision I personally was not happy about, as I always detested the Jeppesen layout. I would look forward to having both available IN sim.

Something that Aerosoft's NavData Pro does not offer.

I agree that the LIDO charts have a superior presentation compared to Jepp (IMO).

Basically FS2024 will bring purpose of flying!  For those of us who started with Sublogic ATP and still got excited looking a vector graphics back then,  what MSFS is showcasing is simply mind blowing! As we already know FS2024 developing won't stop there!

True. Where will it ultimately bring flightsimming? Flying in a 1 on 1 real world?

the new charts are clearly LIDO, here the LFBO chart they used in their presentation:

 

and for comparison here the original Lufthansa LIDO for Singapore

Jorg just said MSFS2020 has nearly monthly updates planned all the way out to 2028, for those concerned about them ditching the sim after 2024 releases.

Question is... Why will we need 2020 after seeing 2024? 

Well, only two reasons come to my mind:

- collectionism

- not having enough PC specs to run 2024 and having to wait for an hardware upgrade...

This only happened to me once, from fs4 to fs5...

Its running on the same generation of Xbox consoles, so I can’t see the specs changing that much

The only question remains: Will they be regularly updated or will they just come as a one time package which will then represent the sim world at the stage of release.

I don’t see why they wouldn’t update the charts.

They already constantly update the nav data

Absolutely incredible stuff coming. If someone isn't impressed by this then I don't know what to say

Cost. A Chart package is way more expensive than a navdata package.

So you really think they're going to come out with a set of charts that will become junk in a month and leave it at that? If cost was an issue, they wouldn't get into it in the first place.

Why junk? The sim world does not change at the same pace as the real world. Sure if a VOR get's deprecated this will be reflected by a navdata update, but airports layout do not change in the default sim. They are a snapshot in time, and you theoretically only need the charts of that very moment.

Many of us expect things other than pretty graphics to impress us.

if there's data for it, who knows what they could do!

does Bing have real world traffic data? it could replicate traffic levels/traffic jams for instance

completely pointless, but would look cool on final approach into big airports...

We think the world we see in 2020 is great and what is coming in 2024 is mind blowiing compared to what I started with in FS2.  Is it just me who remembers using and fidling with Tileproxy (by Christian Buchner) in FSX and documented by Ed Truthan, who thinks that was the origin of real world graphics and that ASOBO simply refined it to become what we have today?

I remember also using FSEarthTiles to create some nice phooto scenery and spent hours creating water masks and custom mesh but could never upload it due to it's huge size and a slow internet connection. It was a great learning process as previously I had no idea how any of these things worked, let alone how to create them.
