Day 1 was a mess.  Day 2 fixed a lot of server issues for me.  USA flyer here though.

Yes there certainly are aircraft bugs some showstoppers.

Overall when it starts to work, it's a better experience than 2020 was at launch.  Obviously it's not as mature as 2020 was 3 days ago so it's not fair to compare to that.  

I'll continue using it I'm sure they'll be a SU1 sometime soon.

It's too early to say whether MFS24 is worth the hype or not.

There are some awful teething problems which should resolve with time – much like what happened with MFS20.

IMO, anyone who gives a definite answer right now (either for or against) is just leaning into their preconceived bias.

Day 1 was a mess, yes. Yesterday was fine for me and today is good. Some things still need to be fixed but it is better than the launch of 2020.

I would imagine everybody would agree with you stating day one was a car crash.  However, 2024 is a clear advancement on our beloved 2020 in many areas.

You pay first. 
after.. You only have to wait for the fix of the finished product that you bought .

It will be very interesting to see usage numbers between the 2 in 3 to 6 months - Personally I wouldnt make a bet either way but it wouldnt surprise me either if 2024 takes the lead if they can get the issues sorted out.

I think by Xmas everyone is going to think it's the best thing since.....well msfs2020.  First few days of any major platform release is always a drama with the most histrionic shouting the loudest.  It has always been this way.  

But today I have seen and heard much more positivity and measured commentary as people take the time to work things through and not rush to get to FL350 within 5 mins of a major release.

Nope its more like GTA at the moment.

Not at all so far, Bandwidth issues every few minutes, CTD's at some point just about every flight. infact, i've actually yet to complete one.

Yea, day one was a flop. But yesterday I was able to get in and start figuring out the UI and adjusting settings and controls. I had 3 great flights, no bandwidth issues and I have only a 50 Mb connection. The lighting was much, much better than 2020, as I think is the vegetation and while I agree it is not possible to come to conclusions yet, the flight and ground models certainly seem to have improved, and others are noting this too. So, we have to see how it plays out and what developers do, but it would be difficult to argue that it is not a significant step forward and creates a platform for MS and third parties to do a lot more. I am excited for the future.

Why start another re-hashing the same griping?

You don't even need to pose this as a question, just look around this forum it is littered with complaining.

Time to accept what we have for now. There is other alternatives if one doesn't like MSFS 2024.

2020 had plenty of issues and they were remedied. This product will probably receive plenty of updating to correct many of its shortcomings.
