The good news is that RAM is a relatively cheap and easy upgrade, so if there’s good reason to go from 32 to 64 I’ll be on that quickly.

Like joysticks, watch there be a surge shortage in ram and 4x price increase.

Not really with DDR5 and the X3D chips. Can't necessarily just slap in another two sticks, because the memory controllers have a tougher time handling DDR5 and 4 sticks, especially at 64GB and beyond, plus AMD in general have a tougher time with that. So you might end up not being able to boot at all, thus you have to reduce speeds or loosen timings. So it's a bit of a crab shoot, for some it'll work, for others it won't. To be on the safe side, get the best experience, you need a specific 2x32GB kit. So that turns up the price a bit.

A bunch of flight simmers buying some RAM is such a tiny, tiny segment, that will barely register as a blip on the sales radar of RAM. Definitely won't cause any shortages or price hikes.

No by my logic this could've been a DLC upgrade (i never mentioned other sims that's on you), as pointed out by the guy above there's more reasons why it isn't which is fine by me.

FYI changing the UI is something devs do all the time in regular updates for other simulations, let alone DLC or a new game!

Not to this extent, especially in its functionality, not just aesthetics. It happens only with new games. 

But what do I know, I just played it for hours. 😂

Dont get me wrong, it is still a huge step in the right direction and of course, the step can not be that huge like it was when MSFS2020 was released, because MSFS2020 is now the basics we compare to while it was FSX/P3D back then. 

Yes agreed.. while the jump from FSX and sims at the time to MSFS 2020 was revolutionary, the jump from 2020 to 2024 is more evolutionary but IMO a pretty sizeable one! And with all the different evolutionary changes combined and considered as a whole, along with the unprecedented network of 3rd party partnerships for this sim release, *that* IMO is revolutionary. Kudos are well deserved for Jorg and MS, and the MS top brass clearly views the sim franchise as something to heavily invest in, which in a sense is a highly evolved way of thinking and doing business for a tech giant like MS 🙂 

No where did MS/Asobo tout MSFS 2024 as having a completely new engine of course, and as they said multiple times all the changes in total were big enough to warrant a new release, and it's clear to see why. That said, there are aspects of the sim that *have* been completely re-written, such as the atmospheric engine, the ground handling, etc. Also the whole thin client thing is a non-trivial architecture change I'd say.

Which issue?

Whispers: Copying accusations

Well, 2024 has certainly turned XP72's opinion around. He's not a pilot but now he thinks 2024's flight model is great after consistently saying 2020's was inferior for years. Expect more of this since he hasn't been the only one.

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

Oh ok thanks for the info. I was confused because in games seeing a "Premium Deluxe" edition usually means its the most expensive and has everything but I noticed the Aviator Edition costs more and at first didn't figure it until now - that is has 30 extra planes. I need to look at that list of planes to see if the price is worth it.

The aircraft chart on the store page has been updated with the 30 aircraft that come with the aviator edition

It's most likely the ideal spec for 4K flying with max settings. No way you're going to hit 32GB flying in 1080.

I run MS2020 max out settings in 4k with 32gb of RAM now. Granted its the newer DDR5 stuff. 

In other words, if I want the same ATR I have, I'll have to buy the more expensive 2024 version? no thanks. At least, not at that price. Sorry...

So that's all the junk Local Legends and Famous Flyers? None of which I bought because I didn't want. That makes it so much easier to pass on the Aviator edition.
