Please don't buy msfs2024 on day 1. I am going to buy it on day 1 and want to be sure the servers aren't choked.

Kiribati will once again gain 1000s of new citizens 

I for one will not be applying for Kiribati citizenship. Too much risk of being drowned in an online tsunami on release day. I will wait for the ocean to retreat before inspecting the damage, and then check to see if the coast is clear with existing addon compatibility before taking the plunge

Community: Did you also mention improved air traffic and ATC? It s closely related to flightsim experience. More than those mentioned above.

Jorg: No way! I promised to myself long time ago we will never touch those. They are so outdated compared to animals and passangers on jet bridges. Are we supposed to attract new customers by improving outfashioned features?

That's very nice of you...testing the servers for the rest of us!😃

After you've given the green light we all buy it on the 20th of November then.

They're working on ATC.

Is this the big Versus stand up comedy show? I kind of miss quotation marks and smileys. Guess your glass is half empty no matter what.

I'll make sure I buy it in the first second so you aren't inconvenienced.

With the MSFS 2024 information we already have, I would say yes, you missed something.

And he's on record as saying 2024 "has the most sophisticated flight model"

I am not sure if many noticed Jorg’s direct comments here about a collaborative / community effort vs a single studio.

For the most part (from what I have seen), Asobo does not make grand statements about MSfS24 being the best at anything. But recently, “the biggest undertaking” and other comments (like what you pointed out) indicate that in-house they have a very aggressive & broad approach to creating the "perfect" sim…from the hardcore simmer to the casual simmer who just wants to take off in 3^rd person view using a controller.
