• Four years is not long enough for new versions of flight sim (2024 Proves that)
• Don't give us 200 default planes next time (less is more)
• Focus on Core Sim features
• Maximize performance for power rigs and make cloud streaming optional
• There should be a 6+ month private Beta testing period
• The year should not be included in the title (in case of delays)
• Redo entirely the controller mappings and make text editing possible

Congratulations. You’ve started a new thread with seven bullet points that have all been posted repeatedly by you and others.

Here is a better solution build your own simulator that fits your own  needs. You absolute don't call the shots around here.

And like you, he has a right to his opinion, end.

Where have you been? It used to be more frequent, and no one was complaining. Simmers were very excited when a new version was announced. In any case, games are way more expensive to develop these days, and a new version definitely won't be available before 2028.

Since when does every opinion need to be aired?

Msobo must:

1. Overhaul the studio including development practices

2. Reduce non performing employees

3. Focus on real simmers and not gamers or casuals

4. Bring extensive AI features to offline mode (similar to BATC but a lot more even)

5. Continue to fund Working Title, and even more so.

6. Extend Ray tracing to local environment.

7. Animated AI copilots who can perform co pilot duties, read checklists, answer any questions, help fly, communicate with ATC, ground crew and cabin crew etc, advise warnings, tell jokes, complete walk arounds, give briefings and suggest flight path changes due to bad weather etc

In addition:

1. Advanced pushback system, services trucks and jetway system that works with all kinds of aircraft.

2. Passenger models that can be "placed" on seats when aircraft loads or after payload changes. 

3. Advanced weather radar and ground terrain 

4. RAAS system 

5. ACARS system 

6. Aircraft maintenance system 

7. Configurable callout system for all kinds of aircraft and choice of voice type (AiI copilot)

8. Advanced TCAS system

9. AI cabin crew and emergency system 

10. Virtual airline, in sim, system

OK, let's make it 2029.

I personally have had few issues with 2024 since release far few than 2020 which was a mess for me. I would buy a 2028 if they did release one , my advice to you is don't buy the next version  it until its been out a year as no one is forcing you and let everyone else that want it buy it and be the better testers.

I am!  Probably will skip 2024 entirely.

Good luck, none of that is gonna happen.

We are in the era of unfinished 5h1t and social media hype. Even GPUs are released unfinished nowadays.

I really wish 2024 was never developed. I would have been happy if they had just continued improving aspects of 2020 that needed fixing. Right now i feel that 2020 has been abandoned, and the long four year development cycle that we endured with 2020 has now started over with 2024. And by the time we sort the current mess out they will launch 2028, and this will start all over again. Meanwhile we will see fewer and fewer add-ons for the previous versions, leaving them essentially orphaned. All the cool stuff they added to 2024 could have been added to 2020, and we’d be miles ahead right now.
