Don't see the point of uninstalling 2020, supposed to demonstrate your enthusiasm or something? 🙃 Having both means one need not get as stressed about things as many here seem to be. Fly what works, be happy don't worry 😊

Personally I uninstalled MSFS because my SSD was full 😄 

MSFS was far from perfect anyway, I'd rather stick to 2024 hoping to contribute to its improvement by beta testing and reporting bugs as I see them.

Reinstallded MSFS 2020 yesterday ,this sim is nearly perfect

MSFS 2024 let's be honest is a total mess ,gonna wait few months more till they fix it

Ditto. I also have deleted 2020.😔

The thing is, 2020 was really sorted. GAIS, FSLTL, Navigraph and all the study level planes I like to fly. I jumped into 2024 on day one and expected a leap forward because of the hype and the statement that practically all my 2020 addons would work in 2024. For me it’s a downgrade because they don’t.

What I am experiencing is far from what I expected. Default AI planes flinging themselves all over the place with constant error messages telling me it can’t access live data. Ditto the ships. Most planes that I fly are not compatible ie PMDG. Crashing, especially when exiting the sim. An appallingly bad simplified menu system. (I can’t for the life of me work out to refuel a plane without setting up a flight plan. All I want is to fill up the tanks!) The ridiculous decision to start outside the cockpit and the battle to find the click spots to remove the gubbins. Intermittent tanking fps. Most of the time it’s fine but occasionally it will just chug for 10 seconds and then recover.

The one joy is that GAIS seems to work if you switch off the in game online ships.

Yessir - these unfortunate truths are very disappointing, and the sim, even when it's working as intended, has it's own very new learning curve.

I learned the hard way from various P3D upgrades, XP v11 -> v12, and of course, v2020 -> v2024, never to expect a seamless upgrade experience. Maybe all those OTHER upgrades thickened my skin enough to tolerate the slog through the new!

Anyhow, like you said, v2020 was really well sorted. And v2024 will get there, too.

And like I always say, "Have a backup flight sim for when things go wrong!" 🙂

So true and needed nowadays in these times of fully streamed software.  Internet outages can and DO occur.
