Exactly. So far, I haven't been outside the plane walking ever. It always starts me inside. It's what I choose to do. There is no marketplace nor its associated content manager. There will be soon. Ever since 2024 came out, I haven't missed 2020 and haven't flown it. I'm in the minority, and the reviews on Steam prove that. I'm very happy about the whole thing.

so it doesn't bother you that airports load missing terminals and just show jetways?  Or static/dynamic airplanes with missing vertical stabilizers? Or bright blue taxi lights 10x the size they are supposed to be?

Who knows, but I find your list to be prudent.

The ability to download specific aircraft is not totally necesarry, as long as enough files of them get stored in the rolling cache or somewhere else that they don't have to be streamed in completely, can be modded and painted, yet don't clutter up disk space. I mean for the FENIX alone I have 8Gig of Liveries installed, that's quite the overkill for one aircraft, but it is what it is. Therefore I'd like the core files to stay streamed and only absolutely necesarry files stored.

The data streams are perfect here. I have zero of those issues so far.

I said in a thread a couple months ago that I planned to wait at least 3 months before buying FS2024.

Based on what I'm seeing in this forum the launch is even worse than I thought it would be so now I'm thinking more like 6 months.

Just not worth the hassle when FS2020 is perectly flyable and still impressive.

 

 

 

Not sure what people now are complaining about. I downloaded and installed S2024 without any issue. About 15 mins max. So far, it's been smooth as a baby as@!#, It took me a little while to figure out how to setup and bind my flight stick and pedals, but I'm enjoying discovering what the new sim offers. I think people are going to complain and hate no matter what. Right now I'm just waiting for developers to update their products to the new sim, but in the meantime, I still have 2020 installed which worked out great being able to start both sims at the same time and coping all my settings over to S 2024.

I'm not switching to 2024 until:

There is Option to start free flight in the cockpit cold and dark, no requirement to walk around and do things first.

There is ability to download specific aircraft and scenery to my computer.

Ability to disable marketplace items such as custom scenery, addon airports, aircraft..

Issues with community folder location are fixed.

ALL server and streaming problems are fixed, and EVERYTHING loads completely and quickly.

Maybe a month?

 

6 months at least !!

cheers 😉

It seems like the majority of the hardcore avsim type user are not thrilled.  I'm still happy to see many are finding enjoyment.  I hope to soon also.

 I have not experienced any of these issues. The worse has been poor textures during the first and second day; today all streamed very well and the sim has been butter smooth since day 1 for me, and I have a max 50 Mb connection. I think there has been a lot of overreaction from the issues experienced the first day or two.  I do not see any fundamental issues with the sim. It takes time to get used to; the keyboard layout is different, the options have changed, it is different but given a little time and some patience it will be a great sim. The next big step is for the market place to open and for us to be able to download scenery locally which will help with the streaming.

For those that just want to fly stay with 2020 for a while but be excited for a better and more capable sim in a few months. I am an early adopted and enjoy the slow learning process so 2024 is where I will stay.

Starting day 1 there appeared on the official forum the advise to switch to Western USA or use a VPN. I don't know if it makes a difference, but something does. I just don't see the issues others report. Especially about lag in loading flights or the sim, and slowly loading scenery.

I doubt if any of that is going to be fixed in a month.

 

Actually that's what they are aiming for.  No on can accuse Team Asobo of not working hard to get things corrected.  The lead Dev is working the forums - on a Saturday, no less, after what must be a grueling few weeks for them.

Just posted in the dev forum by Eric Pellissier -project lead for Asobo:

"Yes, “My Library” will allow to download an aircraft (or any other package) locally to avoid having to stream it. I am not 100% sure on the ETA but I think it should be before Christmas.

Of course we initially planned to have this option available for launch but didn’t manage to achieve it - apologies for the inconvenience. 

Additionally He says: 

"I’ll have to check with the team in charge (obviously I can’t right now since it’s Saturday) but I believe My Library will allow you to activate/deactivate packages - so in case you have two add-ons covering the same airport, it will allow you to choose the one you want to use."

Will it be an optional for our customers to download an aircraft locally?

When I buy (this, as an aged pensioner with limited income is a financial issue and it is not a BUGS issue) I will also be buying a 4TB SSD and house 2020 and 2024 on the same drive, partitioned.

I have to admit that I am impressed with the trailers I have seen but then again, I was also impressed with 2020 trailers and look at where that got me LOL

However, I also have to admit that I would really like to be in the game, so to speak, and not leave it to others to sort out my problems for me. I like to feel that, in some limited way, I could contribute to the problem solving.  

I just think that opting out certainly weeds out some frustrations, but those same frustrations really increase the pleasure when you sort it out or learn from someone else solving the problem,

I don't think either way is wrong ... I just know which option I would be taking.  

I am really looking forward to being able to play this sim of the future and hope to enjoy it as much as 2020 which will definitely NOT be uninstalled.

After what I discovered today, regarding   the Asobo servers impacting performance, since my FS 2020 suddenly was almost unusable (which turned out to be a server issue) , I am now aware how Asobo's servers can easily make or break the sim. So anyone seeing your FPS going into the dumpster, try changing the server you are using.

I tend to fly the same type of travels she does, but also in cities, and longer. To me 2024 shows me what she sees: everything is nicer and like she says around the 9 minute mark, the lighting. Things look more real. Of course this is the type of low down travel where scenery becomes more important and shows off 2024 to better advantage.

 

 

It seems like the piston VFR type are jaw drop thrilled, and the IFR airline type are very disappointed.  Obviously with some deviations.
