posted on the official forums. looks like they feel like major server issues are starting to get fixed  

“
We are pleased to see that so many players enjoyed Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 over the weekend. The capacity issues we encountered at launch were tied to overwhelming interest and access to the online servers – completely separate from the simulator itself. The aviation experience that our trusted partner Asobo Studio created alongside other first party development teams is the best we have ever made. The team is very grateful for your patience and we will continue to embrace your feedback and improve the simulator for years to come. Blue skies ahead.“

Glad to see a measure of its popularity, in spite of all the refund requests!

Yeah I don’t think forums like AVSim are reflective of the broader market..

Sure sure, 2024 will soon only be used by half a dozen people.

Wow clever comeback but not amused at all.

That's all great but the sim is in beta stage. Default planes don't work as they should. Scenery bugs and glitches. (i.e. floating jetways) Planes dropping through the scenery. (Taxiing on the airport bridge made the plane go through it and fall down) It feels like Inibuilds planes are saving FS2024 which I am shocked to be honest. I was never a fan of them for Fs2020 but they made me change my mind and I absolutely love their FS 2024 planes (All the Airbuses, A400M) A lot of performance problems, etc... The sim needs 6 months or more of more fixes. However, I have to say, the enthusiasm and excitement is thee. Past the bugs and glitches, you can see the improvements and how better it is than FS2020, but the glitches are destroying the hype.

OK? 

I posted some news. If you don’t like 2024, don’t use it. Or use it. Or do whatever makes you happy. If you want 2024 to be a failure, sure, that’s perfectly fine. I’m not offended, this isn’t my baby. It’s just a game… it’s not that important

I suspect it will be a classic in time. It's not even a week since that fateful hour it was released, ha ha.

Little touchy here? No you did not post anything new that we already knew days ago. Not here to offend any one but the clutter repetitive threads needs to stop.

This is just factually incorrect. This statement was posted on the MSFT forums about an hour ago. Maybe a little longer. 
 
About cluttered, opinion only repetitive posts that add zero value, I totally agree. It works both ways. 

You guys version must be stuck on FS 2023, I'm playing FS 2024 and I'm having a lot of fun. Sure some planes don't work right, don't fly those. As far as the other bugs go, yes night lighting is screwy, some places worse than others.

Otherwise, it's a SUPER word not allowed load of fun, you're missing out. I am not a Koolaid drinker, the first 3 days I was like man this is terrible and I had to spit it out like vinegar. After the textures started loading correctly, I was like WOW --- EWWWW ----- AHHH, this is a lot better.

I think they are heading in the right direction, and I'm glad I didn't have to wait another 6 months to play it just so they can fix bugs I can avoid.

The only downside is I'm using Standard Edition through Gamepass, so going to have cough up the money to buy the Super Deluxe Extra Gimme-Those-Planes Version.

I wasn’t aware of this notification and appreciate its being posted here.

I was in FS20 as early as the Alpha and I don’t think people remember exactly what state that and the ultimate product were shipped in. It took two years, give or take, for decent stuff to start coming out and QoL to be good enough for me to switch.

Haha yes! I was in the Tech Alpha back in 2019 and it was such a ride.. That's why when I look at 2024 (now that I have zero server issues, I'm aware others aren't as lucky), and see how detailed and performant it already is.. and it will only improve from here. Just like 2020 did over the past 4 years.
