December 9, 20241 yr I see the potential in 2024, they clearly did a lot of work under the hood. I surprising have not had a problem with loading or streaming and the sim does look great out of the box, the ground and flight models have been improved, the mountains look much, much better and the ground is more realistic. But I too am thinking of uninstalling it and going back to 2020. The holidays are coming up and I want to have some time to actually fly. Yesterday I had three crashes, two of which took out flights that were up at cruise. There is no ability to access the things we purchased from the marketplace, a lot of things are not yet compatible or if they are they do not have installers, and the night-lighting looks absolutely terrible. Just so many small bugs that taken together start to undermine the experience. I think I will see what the patch brings this week and try a few more flights but if there is not a significant improvement I may too be back on 2020 for the foreseeable future. MSFS 2024.

December 9, 20241 yr The mountains in MSFS 2020 may not look as realistic as those in MSFS 2024, but they still look very good.....and that's the point. If you are happy with how everything looks in your current simulator, then accepting the issues that you already know about is often a lot better than taking a gamble, and hoping that you can live with a new set of issues that you are not familiar with.

Better the devil you know.... When using the Map Enhancement mod with Latest Bing in HD is really looks way better than the default MSFS 2020.

Much more ground detail and more realistical looking environment. I asked a couple of weeks ago, and nobody seems to know the answer. What map is being used in 2024, the New BING map, or the old one that is still being used in 2020? If it is the new Bing map in 2024, why don't they just start using it in 2020 ( which is what the map enhancement mod does ), or is just a deliberate move to make 2024 look a bit better than 2020? It can't be that difficult for them to change it. Edited December 9, 20241 yr by Bobsk8

It's like getting in your car and finding the gearstick is now mounted on the roof. Microsoft have put somerestrictions on 24H2 to prevent installation on incompatible hardware. My virtual machines and work PC have updated themselves, but it hasn't been offered to my gaming PC yet. You can pull it down manually, but I'm going to wait, just in case...

December 9, 20241 yr I forced an install of 24H2 a few weeks ago. Works fine with MSFS, work and everything else. Understandable to prefer to wait for it to be offered though. 9950X3D - X870E Aorus Master- TUF 5090 OC - 64GB DDR5 - 1500W HXi - Titan 360 RX LCD - 9100 Pro x 2 - LG 45GX950A - HOTAS Warthog with Ava Base

December 9, 20241 yr Neither stock MSFS2020 or 2020 with the latest Bing Map showed my house but MSFS2024 does so I'm not sure what they are using. 9950X3D - X870E Aorus Master- TUF 5090 OC - 64GB DDR5 - 1500W HXi - Titan 360 RX LCD - 9100 Pro x 2 - LG 45GX950A - HOTAS Warthog with Ava Base
