  1. 1. Will you keep using MSFS 2020 for as long as it is supported ?

    • Yes, for sure - at least for as long as my addons are fully ported to 2024 and assuming I will like 2024 after getting hand-on experience...

Only if I'm forced to install 2024, otherwise I'll stick with 2020. At least until the end of support!

You're kidding right?

    I imagine this didn't age well 😁. I haven't installed 24 yet and really see no reason to.  Despite assurances from so many folks on the Internet, it appears that not only will ALL of my add-ons n

  • 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

  • I think you just have to look at how busy the FSX forum is here (even the FS9 forum for goodness sake) to see how some people like to cling on to what they know. 

I will probably leave it installed for a few weeks at most. All depends on the issues with 2025 at release. Considering they are only doing a soft alpha and no beta test there may be far more bugs than in 2020.

So why did you ever install MSFS in the first place, could have just stuck with FSX.

I will definitely get it since I've had every one since the beginning.

My only concern is that I now have a medium range computer that runs 2020 okay.  If 2024 forces me to go to all the low to medium settings and not be able to take advantage of the new features, I'll stick with 2020.

I can't afford a new computer or graphics card that it seems to require.  Mine meets the minimum settings it requires but I'm not sure I would like the results.

I am not shure if i go ASAP over to 2024, think i wait a little time and see what happens, so yes still need my MSFS 2020 !!

cheers 😉

I feel the same way and I cannot understand the hype around the new version. In my eyes MSFS 2020 is perfect and the new features do not tempt me very much. I am a notorious "free game" user - I never tried "landing challenges" oder "bush flying" or one of theses "rescue challenges". So most of the new features are not interesting. 

Better graphics? I do not walk around on the grass to enjoy the improvement - I am not interested in watching elefants and cows in the sim - all these carreer things are not my cup of tea - so I just want to fly from A to B and that is possible in FS2020 in a perfect manner.

Since 1980 subLOGIC has released a version for the TRS-80, MFS 1.0, I will try to use FS2020 and FS2024 if the physical and human hardware can handle it.

I'll keep on using MSFS2020, but only because I'll wait for a sale, and to see all your comments about 2024. While I tried MSFS2020 on Day One, I uninstalled it and didn't come back until SU5 (and a dedicated rig).

The stupidest post yet, and the bar was high already.

The difference between FSX and MSFS graphically is HUGE, the differences between MSFS 20 and 24 graphically are slight.

I'm not going to 2024 till maybe 1 year into it. I am looking forward to seeing all the posts when it comes out, I am not a serious flight simmer i was in MSFS for the sheer beauty of it all, still makes me gasp now at times.

Thankfully i make my own decisions and people can do what they like i don't really care. To pretend that MSFS is some word not allowed game that belongs on the scrap heap is just pathetic and reminds me of my 10 year old girl as she flits between each new tik tok craze... be it stanley cups or whatever word not allowed they are peddling.

As long as the Fenix and PMDG aren't falling out of the sky, I'll switch. And even then, the new standard airplanes can keep me busy for a bit.

Actually, you just owngoaled yourself into a stupid post by showing how little you care about flight simming and all the improvements 2024 bring, seems it's all about shallow visuals for you. Rest of us are looking forward to improvements in flight modelling, live traffic, weather, improved performance in going DX12 and improving multi-threading, world immersion, included charts, much improved physics and overall content. Not just how big of a visual upgrade they made.
