I wonder if you will be able to rent the extra aircraft from the premium editions. 

You get Boeing Bucks for each activity completed successfully to spend on rentals.

Good interview with Seb there by XP72.. really waiting on hearing from 3rd party devs and how/when they'll update their aircraft, especially something like the new more detailed aircraft surfaces and geometry setup which Seb says they've added new SDK tooling for to make the transition easier. Did Seb also say there they've released the new SDK and docs now? (starts around here about 3rd party devs and making use of the new FDE features: https://youtu.be/VyNi-Ic9mXQ?t=389)
 

 

Seb said there that the old planes from 2020 will just work without any or very minor changes in 2024. And if the authors know exactly how the plane is supposed to fly because they are pilots, it will be easier for them to tweak the plane up to 2024 capabilities. He said this sort of attribute tweaking is easier using the 2024 methods and SDK than the old 2020 methods.

Oh, claro, el aumento masivo en el multihilo (4000 veces más detalle), el cambio masivo en la arquitectura de transmisión, la adición de temporadas, los cambios en la dinámica de vuelo, el desarrollo masivo de opciones de carrera/rol, oh sí, todo FÁCILMENTE como una "actualización de DLC"   😂 🙃

Y según tu lógica, MS podría haber lanzado MSFS 2020 como una "actualización DLC" para FSX, ¿verdad?  🤣

Afortunadamente MS/A no comparte tu lógica.

Tengo 24 Gb de VRAM, 32 Gb de SRAM y en 4 años nunca he visto más de ~18 Gb de SRAM en uso para toda la PC, no solo para MSFS.  

I have 16gb of ram and never really noticed that I needed more the bottleneck was always the main thread.

What I hear from others is that in VR, more system RAM is needed than in 2D. I don't know if that is true.

i'm really disappointed by the footage shown by content creators so far. i know nothing can be 'confirmed' based on the footage alone for various reasons, such as how the recording software was configured, the PC specs they were playing on, etc, but the performance looked god awful - a stuttery mess. really, really reeeeeally hope there are actual improvements in this area over FS2020.

In one of the clips, it was mentioned the sim was running on a 14900K and 4080 Super PC. Despite these 'ideal' specs and claims that MSFS2024 will run on current hardware, I suspect the sim is geared towards next-gen GPUs and CPUs. The 5080/90 should be landing by the end of this year, so I'm holding off on upgrading.

Whispers: Copying accusations

The event was about FS2024, and unfortunately, the time for each interview was very limited. I thought it was better to ask more questions on FS2024 instead of using the time to ask about the pettiness of a competing developer. It's obvious that the accusations are false since they're based on "Asobo doesn't have access to the aircraft" which is a ludicrous notion. Maybe another time.

The sim isn’t out for another two months. Optimization is usually the last things done to a game.

The stuttering could also be from the fact there were dozens of computers all using the same network connection 

It could also be an old build. Usually demos like this are a month or two out of date.

The MSFS 2024 SDK does not yet appear to be in the wild, given Mathijs's post yesterday: https://forum.pmdg.com/forum/main-forum/general-discussion-news-and-announcements/328544-fs2024#post328544

Dear friends, it is logical that you all want to know more about PMDG and FS2024. And I'll share a secret, so do we!
The simple fact is that we know as much as you do. We currently have no beta or SDK, so we are not in a position to make comments or reply to questions. So, please don't be upset when you hear nothing.

Per the FSElite interview from yesterday about the SDK and 3rd party devs, at least (and naturally) the partner devs like iniBuilds etc do have access to the SDK and docs.

And this was an older build. You almost never test the latest build at preview events because the developers go for stability (which was great)

Looks good to me!

 

2024 is an upgrade but still could be so much more.

 

3D landscape, rocks grass tessellation etc look fantastic 

missions, training, loads of aircraft, more advanced flight planning, physics upgrade, cirrus clouds and improved lighting are all great.

 

ATC is delayed though - that’s disappointing but hopefully will be with us with an early update.

AI traffic logic - no news yet on that, hopefully dev q&a may provide answers there.

solid mass under bridges still - I thought that was fixed?

those strange black lines around certain landmasses like cliff edges where it meets water - I still see that unfortunately 

default airports, I would like to see some screenshots of the improvements to those - we already know about the handcrafted ones which have had a touch up.

I was going to leap into the deluxe (steam) version again, but as I have Xbox ultimate I’ll probably try the standard first for free

I’m excited but also concerned- just a little bit 😏

They said very clearly several times that they have *started* fixing it. They have to go through each bridge on earth manually, and it'll take time.

I didn't see anything in any of the recent videos about the new planner or included charts. Has anyone else seen anything?

I have seen it, but won't remember where because I saw so many videos and read so many articles that would be impossible to remember. It seemed pretty good. You can even see your whole flight path in-sim (like flying a drone with your flight path marked on the screen).
