November 15, 20241 yr Just curious as to what are some of the "great" changes coming to MSFS 2024? I'd love to hear what some of you all have heard about the sim coming out in 4 days. I seriously hope there will be a REPLAY function so that I can see what my landings and maneuvers look like. I also hope that the force feedback I'm using now in MSFS, X-Force, is either improved our simply that the sim itself supports force feedback in its configuration. I also would appreciate better flyability for helicopters in 2024. I don't know if that is possible within the sim or if it's something that's vehicle specific. I expect the weather aspect of the sim will be very, very accurate. I look forward to better photogrammetry that doesn't produce alien structures at low altitudes. I would love for the sim to be very fast loading when being fired up. I absolutely think it's necessary to be able to switch aircraft WHEREVER you are in the sim without having to go back to start screen (not developer mode). These are just a few things that appeal to me, and I hope that many of you have an "inside line of communication" with those who really know. What's important to you?

It won't happen because it would degrade performance way too much. 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.

I don't know about the ground crew, but the 2024 SDK documentation makes mention of ground vehicles holding position to make way for aircraft and other ground vehicles. Quote When moving across the airport, ambient vehicles will use the TaxiPaths of the airport, favoring paths of type VEHICLE whenever possible, and they will also trying to avoid runways. When crossing a runway, they will pause at holdshort, and wait until the runway is free if ATC has been warned that the runway is currently in use for a takeoff or landing. If the User tries to takeoff without clearance, for example, the vehicles might cross the runway because they are not aware of the takeoff, since ATC has not been talked to. When taxiing on regular taxi paths, ambient vehicles are aware of other vehicles and aircraft taxiing, and ATC will also warn them in the case of incoming traffic near intersections. Which IIRC is how it works in FSX/P3D. So did they just remake it or reenable old code? Edited November 15, 20241 yr by Tuskin38

Which IIRC is how it works in FSX/P3D. So did they just remake it or reenable old code? In my experience with FSX (and 2020 seems to be the same in some respects) it is often a scenery (pathing) problem, rather than a problem with the ground vehicle code. Many airports in FSX seemed to be partially autogenerated...something I am pretty sure happens with lots of MSFS2020 airports...and the autogen code isn't perfect. Sometimes nodes would intersect where they should not have, causing the ground vehicles to go places they shouldn't. Rhett 7800X3D ♣ 96 GB G.Skill Flare ♣ Gigabyte 4090 ♣ Crucial P5 Plus 2TB
November 16, 20241 yr Ah Sorry, I meant the part about them stopping and making way for other traffic

Excellent explanations of some of the new aspects of MSFS. I, however, will not be getting into all the extraneous stuff like pilot's salaries, and adventures that require such extensive planning. I just love flying! I want to fire up the sim, get a realistic experience as I look down, and enjoy the feeling of the plane. The developers have gone so deep into the flight experience that there is a real degree of complication that for me, would probably add to a frustrating experience. I sure appreciate what the developers are doing, and I'm sure many will get deeply involved. I especially liked the explanation of the new wake turbulence that will linger behind on the runway for quite a while. This all should be quite fun.
November 16, 20241 yr Hoped for sophisticated model/simulation of piston engine... Edited November 16, 20241 yr by Beardyman Artur
November 16, 20241 yr More efficient coding and native dx12 implementation along with better textures, better mesh, better weather, seasons and aerodynamics are going to be big advantages for me assuming that the new sim is smooth and performs well. It will be interesting to see how many of my addons work properly too.
