I just saw the vapor effect on the F-18

I need a list of all aircraft and all airports in each edition before I can decide which to purchase.  Is this something that has been published that I have missed?

Previous experiences have taught me that if I don't buy the top version, I will end up regretting it though.

I haven't gotten to any of the videos yet. Any word on ATC?

Are you kidding!???

So just to be sure, the most fully featured version is the Aviator Edition?

Yes. I'll probably get premium deluxe, mostly due to enhanced airports. They keep getting better and better

Right - same here. It appears that the difference between this and the Aviator's Edition is the 30 planes that have already been released. I'm thinking that if I wanted any of those, I would have picked them up already.

The water physics and effects + wake look pretty cool here: https://youtu.be/-ebgYIgVeRM?t=842

Hi guys,

Is there a preview official video from Jorg somewhere?

No new "official" preview videos from MS/Asobo yet, but all the videos and articles posted in this thread are from the preview day event MS/Asobo held for media and social media folks. Maybe the next official video might come on Sep 25th as part of the MS/ASobo livestream or likely afterwards as they start dropping feature deep dive videos.
 

Ok watched more, listened to more, the hype is real but there's still a nagging sense that they're actively avoiding some big subjects, I may well of missed something as there's a lot going on today so willing to wait until the (non-)Q&A to hopefully get more word on those areas 🤞

It's all shaping up to be something that could be truly brilliant, but it's not just the content & core that needed improving, it's the manner of Sim Update releases, the severe lack of Quality Control and poorly structured Beta Periods that also need a makeover. Of course time will tell on those areas, I'm merely cautiously optimistic they've all been improved for MSFS24 - the rest of it though, oh my 😍

. Surprisingly also: almost all vids show the same set of scenarios. Why?

Some of the footage is a B-Roll provided by Microsoft.

They're literally taking live questions on the day.

The Helisimmer article has two maps with pins for all modelled/placed Helipads and Oil Rigs in 2024 (so far)

mind you they're static images, so some things are overlapping.

No. They are not.

From the heavily moderated live chat but a large chunk are pre-asked as they've stated and as discussed elsewhere 😉

great quick showcase of weather improvements
