I just came across this and thought I'd sahre for the LOLs.

 

I don't think I've ever seen someone having 14 minutes of Jorg's time and not even trying to make him say something even remotely new, but still titling "New Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Details." The interview actually has 2 minutes saying absolutely nothing new about MSFS2024 and then 12 minutes saying absolutely nothing new about the World Update and the FW200 for MSFS 2020. 

It honestly made me giggle and I hope it'll bring a Saturday giggle to ya'll as well.

For the record, Xbox On is Microsoft's own UK-focused gaming channel, not an independent outlet, which makes it even funnier, at least to me.

Old news...

You mean to say someone posted it unironically? 😂

Well it is indeed old news but your post is exactly why I reached out to you recently. I do hope you get to talk to Jorg or Seb very soon.

Nice video, but too bad they are talking about updates to Germany and yet Asobo never updates the incorrect runway headings for their own Cologne EDDK.

Jorg was going door to door in my neighborhood selling subscriptions to Happy Newspaper.

I'm afraid it'll take some time 😄

Nothing wrong with that video IMO. Not every video or interview has to be for the hardcore simmer, and I'm sure "busy" Jörg appreciates the occasional opportunity to just quickly chat enthusiastically about the sim.

There are so many youtubers who'll go into the minutae of the sim on their channels. This is just an alternative way of promoting what's new and coming up.

If anything 'annoys' or amuses me, it's the fact that, whilst I understand the sensitivities of the subject, the FW200 didn't just 'disappear' when the war started, it became a maritime patrol and reconnaissance bomber and transporter, and became a replacement for the Ju52 as word not allowed's personal transport. Frankly, most German developments at the time had pre-planned military use considered. Even the in-sim info makes no mention of its later military use and it's not as though there are no other military connections in the Marketplace (albeit all unarmed).

But as for the video, horses for courses.

There is a massive difference between not being "for the hardcore simmer" and promising "new details" about a simulator in an interview that mostly isn't about said simulator at all, and provides no new details whatsoever.

The fault is in whoever titled the video.

Neither X-box or Jorg never promised any new 2024 details in the interview during the live stream it was recorded from.

Well, they are new details if you haven't seen or heard anything about the new sim before watching that video. 😉

The video was created by Xbox On and titled by Xbox On. 

No one is faulting Jorg, but the massive disconnect between content and title/thumbnail is absolutely worthy of mockery. 

And to be fair, Xbox On is literally run and owned by Microsoft's UK arm. While Jorg gets a pass for not saying anything new when thrown a bunch of the softest softballs possible, I'm surprised that someone as hands-on as he is did not notice said disconnect and picked up a phone to have it corrected, since he's being misrepresented.

The only new detail was Jorg saying 2024 has the most sophisticated flight model.
