November 26, 20241 yr 2024 takes 3-minutes longer to go from pressing Play in the Steam window to Fly in the sim flight window than does 2020 with exactly the same addons and settings. I am on a 1 Gb Xfinity connection and run everything on NVMe devices. I can buy a 2 TB M.2 super fast PCIe 5.0 device for $180. That is a one time pain and I am sure it is big enough for the sim stuff I want downloaded one time. But, with 2024 I suffer the long loading times and occasional server problems every time I fly. What kind of a benefit does MS/Asobo think they achieve with the download ALL data?

November 26, 20241 yr It seems people are having different experiences here. I load in 1:50 seconds consistently and it is 10 times better than 2020 for me. There are a lot of variables to consider now, but for me I certainly do not want to go back to 2020 and storing everything on fast drives. Hopefully, however, when they open the marketplace you can download your aircraft and scenery to your drive and then it will be just like 2020 for you. Tomorrow there is a developer stream so we should find out when that will be. MSFS 2024.

What kind of a benefit does MS/Asobo think they achieve with the download ALL data? I really don't know. I can only think it is to save the storage space on the consoles. I have a full spare 1Tb waiting there for 2024, even with 2020 taking up the other 1Tb (on a 2Tb NVMe drive obviously). Rob (but call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind). I like to trick airline passengers into thinking I have my own swimming pool in my back yard by painting a large blue rectangle on my patio.

What kind of a benefit does MS/Asobo think they achieve with the download ALL data? I just tried loading a flight in both 2020 and 2024 - a C152 at KLAS RWY 26R. No traffic in either sim.
