October 1, 20241 yr Author ME will 🙂 Flying gliders since 1980 Flightsimming since 1992 AMD Ryzen 5600x, 32GB RAM, GPU Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB, 1 TB and 500 GB nvme2 SSD drives, HP 27" 60Hz LED monitor @ 1920x1080, T16000, Hotas from old X52 Pro, Saitek Combat Rudder Pro (2010 model)
October 1, 20241 yr Nope, zero reason. I reinstalled Windows few weeks ago and haven't even installed MSFS 2020 again and have no intentions of setting all that up again. Got a lot on my plate right now but happily just awaiting the 2024 release and going clean slate from there. Plus, MSFS 2024 will have so much new content, so many things to try and see, that waiting a few days or weeks for specific addon compatibility doesn't make sense. I don't need to jump into the Fenix day 1 and do daily bus rides again when I got so much new stuff to play with.

October 1, 20241 yr 7 minutes ago, jcomm said: ME will 🙂 Why? Honestly after about 1,700 hours MSFS has lost its appeal to me. Can't wait to experiment career and missions. FS2024 will do everything 2020 can do, and more. No point in wasting those 300 GB of SSD. 7800X3D | 2x32 GB DDR5-6000 CL32 | RTX 5080 | Alienware OLED 34" | 1 Gbps fiber
October 1, 20241 yr I will keep it for as long as I need to for copying over controller settings, but when that is done (after a day or two at most) it will be removed forever but remembered with the same fondness I have for FSX, FS2004, FS2002, etc etc etc. 9950X3D - X870E Aorus Master- TUF 5090 OC - 64GB DDR5 - 1500W HXi - Titan 360 RX LCD - 9100 Pro x 2 - LG 45GX950A - HOTAS Warthog with Ava Base
October 1, 20241 yr As a sceptic I think that the time to use the old version will be limited by the means Microsoft can apply to push the renitent users to the new product by reducing the bandwith for downloads for example. But the well-meaning part in me teaches me allways that I am going to be mistakening. I will try to keep the old version until I change my mind.

October 1, 20241 yr No reason to keep the old version. Literally, everything of it is included in MSFS 2024, but worse. I have even fewer reasons to keep 2020 than other simulators, and the reason to have other simulators installed is already zero. So I guess this goes into the negatives.

October 1, 20241 yr I will probably keep MSFS2020 installed on my current Flightsim PC but I am planning a new PC build early next year and that will be the end of MSFS2020 for me I expect. I hope I can share the Community folder between both sims although I expect that at one point addon updates will start to be incompatible with MSFS2020. But it is likely I won't use MSFS2020 at all after MSFS2024 is installed.

October 1, 20241 yr Only if I'm forced to install 2024, otherwise I'll stick with 2020. At least until the end of support! 13600KF - AIO - 32GB DDR4 - RTX4070 - UW1440p GSync - USB DAC - 2TB NVMe - Windows 11 Pro - Gladiator NXT EVO - 1 Gbps Fiber - MSFS 2024
October 1, 20241 yr I intend to roll to 2024 and remove 2020 completely. Though my addons are in a custom community folder with dynamic links (Via addon linker). I'll probably wait a few weeks until we see how addon aircraft/scenery play with the new sim. 5800X3D, 4090FE, 64GB DDR4 3600C16, Gigabyte X570S MB, EVO 970 M.2's, Alienware 3821DW and 2 22" monitors, Corsair RM1000x PSU, 360MM MSI MEG, MFG Crosswind, T16000M Stick, Boeing TCA Yoke/Throttle, Skalarki MCDU and FCU, Logitech Radio Panel/Switch Panel, Spad.Next

October 1, 20241 yr 2024 will be better than 2020. As I can afford 2024, there is no compelling reason for me to keep the previous version. The only thing that will keep 2020 on my disk are stability or add-on compatibilty issues with 2024 when it is released and I can't imagine they will take long to fix.

October 1, 20241 yr For a few days just to comparea few areas back to back, run a few benchmarks with as close as possible graphical settings, see if the optimisations they've made really make a difference. Then I'll uninstall and reclaim hard drive space for the thousands of pictures I'm gonna take in the new Sim!

October 1, 20241 yr MSFS 2024 is a vast improvement over MSFS 2020. With an even better flight model, better ground handling, better water physics, and vastly improved terrain at ground level, I doubt I will use MSFS 2020 for long, provided all the add-ons transfer over to MSFS 2024 smoothly. Once again, the graphics of this upcoming MSFS have leapfrogged the competition. And by competition, I don’t just mean the other alternative simulators to MSFS 2020, but MSFS 2020 itself is competition to MSFS 2024 and It’s losing on many fronts to MSFS 2024. i5-12400, RTX 3060 Ti, 32 GB RAM

This is one of the keys for me (the other being performance in DX12 on my late Jurassic PC). There is no point "testing" DX12 performance in MSFS 2020, as apparently this is significantly better in MSFS 2024. I just need to be certain that it is improved enough not to cause problems with my 6GB VRAM at 1080p resolution (and the same level of detail that I enjoy now). I will not be running MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024 side by side, since it is against one of the ten digital commandments....
