February 20, 20251 yr Hello, new to this forum. Purchased MS 2024 but it is nothing but bugs and problems. Are any of the other Flight Sims out there any better? Thanks
February 20, 20251 yr Moderator @Gizmo2025, the two alternatives are X-Plane and LM Prepar3D Many P3D users have remained with v5 to ensure compatibility with lots of scenery and third party aircraft. I’m sure you’ll get plenty of advice. Posting your hardware specs will help. Ray (Cheshire, England).

February 20, 20251 yr Author Thank you for your reply. I have 1 month old new gaming computer so hardware isn't the issue. Have Honeycomb Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie system. MS 2024 just has so many bugs I can't fly some aircraft, it locks up when opening the tablet, planes rocket away at idle, etc. I could go on for literally 100's of bugs I have come across so far. Just want opinions on the other software before I spend more money... Thanks
February 20, 20251 yr My computer specs below, I don't have these issues with ms2024. msfs2020 performs better and has less little things going wrong all the time. If I still had my old hardware in the case (5600X and 3070) I don't think I would have a good time in ms2024. The default planes which I have tried all fly well for me in 2024 (except the new Cessna 185 which I cannot get to behave at all). 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel.

February 21, 20251 yr MSFS 2020 would be the logical alternative to MSFS 2024. Very stable on my PC, and the bugs are few and far between.

February 21, 20251 yr I like the 185 now but I had to set up custom cockpit view (so that it "resets" to Landing View) in order to see over the dash, and tone down the brakes and rudder sensitivities too). 2020 is a lot more trouble free and better fps, but not as nice looking nor do the default planes handle as nicely on ground or in air compared to 2024. 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel.
