As the title suggests, is this annoying behavior still a thing in MSFS2024 ?   

Yes of course

there's a surprise - another little black mark against 2024 for me - it all adds up.

i asked this very question the other day, but the usual 2024 band of fans for some reason didn't want to answer this. For me the writing was on the wall when Jorg and Seb didn't even know if puddles were in the sim when asked in Vegas.

Thats real disappointing... 

Remember! Your main task in MSFS2024 is to save drowning people and spray crops. Why cares about drying aprons?

And don't even tell me you want properly working ATC!

Nailed my issue with Asobo completely. They made a great sim but the little things add up with how amateurish they are. 

Missions and data streaming (to meet xbox limitations) are the main drivers behind 2024.

But they continue to ignore the small to medium size issues. 
 

if Geoff Crammond at Microprose can simulate drying tracks in 2000s GP3 - then surely Asobo can in 2024!

Amazes me that people fancy all the super detailed interiors airports with simulated duty free and check-in areas but don't care that the airports air side is dry 99% of the time !  

Wet aprons are almost top priority for immersion. Especially in the winter with the terminal lights reflecting

Is this your first flightsim software?

 

genuinely curious.

This has to be a joke thread.  Is it April fool's already?

...and iRacing recently released their rain update and lorded it as though it has never been done before 🤣🤦‍♂️ 

But yes Asobo have certainly shown their naivety in some areas with MSFS2020, even basics like mouse control they struggle with!

Bit harsh to call Asobo "amateurish" lol 🤔, Most complex flight simulator there has ever been and getting even better  , multi million dollar budget , hundred's of employees and just little old Microsoft to back them up , now an amateur would be me and my mates in a shed in my back garden i would like to think 

is it perfect no , but neither is my golf swing , or my wife , but bejesus are you old enough to remember simming in the late nineties ? 😀

Lol at all the usual hyperbole. The only things "adding up" as far as I can see are various net positives over MSFS 2020 in various core simulation areas let alone non-core areas (flight dynamics, ground handling, weather & clouds, atmospheric lighting, visuals and world rendering, seasons, aviation activities, improved/new default aircraft, etc etc)... and nothing AFAIK regressing from 2020 to 2024.

Sure, aprons not properly accumulating water when raining is unfortunate, but to try and use that and other specific issues not addressed yet and spin 2024 as an overall negative or as only improving trivial things (while ignoring all the major core improvements) is.. comical.
