MSFS 2024 Global Preview Mega Thread

The restriction I recall him saying as 100m, but as mentioned above, it will be removed at some point. I think it was based on the scenery not always being perfect enough everywhere to give a proper representation. 

He also said that having the walkaround feature required them to create a new "center of focus" VS previous iterations where the aircraft was always the center. My take is this possibly could be beneficial for things like slew mode, interior walkthrouhs etc.

  • A lot of articles and videos to chew on and these are just the first batch based on this day event, hopefully just the start of more info and details to come, especially on the MS/Asobo livestreams an

  • I am not sure what I am thinking about the FS24. It is a FLIGHT Simulator, we need realistic weather, realistic clouds etc. not elephants on the ground. Sorry

I'm so excited for the C17

It’s the new included aircraft I’m most excited for.  We’ll have that, the A400, and hopefully before too long a good C-130…all of my military airlift needs will be well taken care of.  There’s something really cool about taking a four engine jet into the kind of crazy places the C-17 can operate out of.

I’d still gladly take a C-5 at some point though 😀

I just heard the Vision Jet will have its CAPs system (the emergency parachute) neat.

Another video for ya'll. This time is one of the challenges. A-10 low and fast over the Blue Ridge Mountains, with bonus fall vistas. Very pretty place.

I remember the discussion being about the 24 hour weather.

This was during one of the monthly live streams, I don’t recall which.

It’s not listed on the chart, but I hope the SkyCourier has the cargo only variant 

This isn't the interview where he says more about his own concept of historical weather, but you can see 24 hour weather and historical weather are not the same thing for him. Good thing is they will keep looking to implement it.

My only issue with BBS nee MilViz is that they seem to measure consumer project milestones in years rather than months 😁

I just saw a time lapse video of 2020 and 2024 being installed side by side. 2020 took 2 hrs while 2024 took 8 minutes! They also indicated that once the sim is installed, we will have access to all World Updates via streaming data. I remember Jorg mulling over whether or not he would include them right away but we have the answer now. I saw the video on facebook and it was from one of the Xbox podcasts.

Oh, is short installation time for a sim now considered a quality attribute? 🙈

Are you serious?

5800X3D. 32 GB RAM. 1TB SATA SSD. 3TB HDD. RX  9070XT.

Yes, I am serious. I prefer 200GB installation on my disk vs. tons of quality issues due to streamed content. I prefer being able to manage and control what I have installed vs. a total mess due to everything (or nothing) available in the cloud. And I certainly prefer being able to modify local files to my likining, usually improving things over default.

In contrast, I could not care less about 120 vs. 8min installation time, as I do that exactly once vs. about several thousand hours usage time. And in addition, the price tag of todays SSD storage is so low, I would even not care if the sim is 2TB of local size. 

But that is just me in the end of the day...

Well, as Seb confirmed in the yesterday's stream, all the content that is newly stream-able now like default and marketplace aircraft, scenery, etc can also be explicitly downloaded in full (there is a checkbox to enable local install for each aircraft etc).

Who cares about install times? I care more about game startup time.

By default, now we I have to wait for assets to stream download each time one starts a flight instead of the files being local.

I envision most people changing back to having files stored locally.
