Connection issues do seem to have eased, now to start rolling out some massive patches and things like returning the possibility for 3rd party repaints.

I'd hope they focus on more important issues like fixing the broken mouse, fixing the broken EFB, fixing the broken Toolbar, fixing the broken cameras, fixing the broken Xbox controller support first, but each to their own 😄

Did you mean they are broken for VR?

Because I am just playing on a normal 1080p monitor and I experience none of the things you are experiencing.

Yes but the locals get upset when I mention VeeRrr 😆, either way they're game breaking bugs regardless of whether they're for VR or not. Just like SU7 it's a shambles and clearly neglected.

Yup.  Don't get me wrong, I was never delusional enough to think we'd have a perfectly working sim day one or even week one for that matter.  But for VR users, the broken mouse is laughably bad.  Especially after it was said numerous times that VR was a "platform" for them now.  Never did I think something this simple would be this borked on release.  

Complaints aside, I'm still having fun just messing around for now, and I can definitely see the major potential.  I have faith the major issues will be ironed out...but it will take some time.

Can you imagine saying that about any other product you buy? Sorry but the delusion is all yours. 

If you think a broken mouse is bad, try a working moose.

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

Agreed. When was the last FS roll out that went smoothly? It'll be fine.

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

Likewise. It's still very early days of this new sim.
Though I'd have hoped that MFS24 (server connectivity issues aside) would have released in a more refined state than it apparently has. Unlike four years ago, MFS24 is leveraging off a stable base.

To be honest, that statement on the official forums sounds disingenuous to me. This is a cloud-based application by design - the server environment is inextricably linked to the simulator performance almost certainly.

I am optimistic that the simulator will get better - they have no choice, honestly, and FS2020 did eventually become really good even after its launch issues - but continuing to wave away the issues here as "just overwhelming demand" is kind of tone deaf and just makes people more angry.

They have recommended people update and move their community folders to avoid long load times.

Do those having loader long times have their community folder in the default location?

True but interest in anything falls off with time.

Think like a business for a sec and not a simmer.

Large upfront investment in what eventually would be an over commitment of resources is not smart business in the long run.

It’s a calculated risk, probably went worse than expected for them on the projection, but still within budget costs.

At then end, everything is about money, it’s good to remember that…

AI planes spinning and prominent sepia masks in night lighting are reminiscent of the early days of 2020 and beg the question if they used a lot of old code.

There is no way so many 2020 addons work almost seamlessly in 24 unless there is a very large codebase from 2020 still there which to be fair was a great code base to improve upon it just seems "right now" they are 1 step forward 2 steps back still but I am sure they will resolve it, the question for me is will I ever be able to continue a flight with an internet connection drop.  If every drop "pauses" the sim and you literally can't fly then it remains to be seen how frequently it happens, especially if you are doing long hauls.  That is an aspect of 2020 they have done away in 2024 with the streaming architecture they have adopted which to me is a huge regression.

No, moved it to another location.
