September 21, 20241 yr Steam. Windows version was poor some of us reverted to Steam after problems and found it much better.

In other words your stuff in content manager will not transfer from the Steam in game marketplace to the Store in game marketplace. That's what I asked about here twice. And that's what I was told twice in these forums. Wow! Guess I'm sticking to the Microsoft store then! Chris Camp
September 21, 20241 yr Unless someone wants to also run MSFS on both an Xbox console and a PC, I would stay with the same 2024 version as your 2020 version. 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel. Crystal Light VR.
September 21, 20241 yr Steam - I have several other applications running off Steam and they, plus MSFS, are very easily managed. Updates and purchases are transparent. My limited experience with Microsoft Store purchases have been awkward and sometimes downright difficult. It seems to me Microsoft is way too concerned with an end to end experience and integration of many things I want to keep separate. Maybe if I had started with MS stuff I would be more comfortable and able to understand what they want me to do. Steam - easily and almost transparent! AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D / MSI X870 Tomahawk Mobo / 64 GB DDR5 memory / RTX 4070 Super with 12 GB VRAM / AORUS FO48U 4k display NVMe for Drive C, an NVMe device dedicated to Flight Sim 2024 and a separate NVMe device for Flight Sim 2020 and an NVMe dedicated to 500GB of addons managed by AddonsLinker / 1 GB Comcast Xfinity Internet connection / HP Reverb G2 / Tobii 5 Head & Eye Tracking
September 21, 20241 yr That one free aircraft for early adopters is for use right now in the 2020 version. But the same aircraft will be free in all editions of 2024, and so you would have to wait until November to fly it if you don't get it early as a bonus. 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel.

September 21, 20241 yr Steam Vote to fix transparent sun visors having no effect on the sun glare effect in MSFS at: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/sun-shades-sun-visors-not-influencing-light-in-cockpit/691565/
September 21, 20241 yr For someone new to MSFS that doesn't already have 2020, I would choose Steam. Unless you also want to run it on a console, perhaps for your kids. A store bought purchase of MSFS and from the marketplace for PC is free to import to Xbox consoles (you don't have to buy the same things again). 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel.

September 21, 20241 yr Steam. 13600KF - AIO - 32GB DDR4 - RTX4070 - UW1440p GSync - USB DAC - 2TB NVMe - Windows 11 Pro - Gladiator NXT EVO - 1 Gbps Fiber - MSFS 2024
September 21, 20241 yr Windows Store. No reason to go through a middleman that will absorb some of my money. The bigger percentage of my money goes to Microsoft, the more of it will be reinvested in the simulator, the better for me. Editor-in-Chief at SimulationDaily.com
September 21, 20241 yr Steam for me. Surely not everybody was kung fu fighting. https://rationalwiki.org
