Have just been looking at the features and poking around in 2024 when I saw a free upgrade to the Beech Baron from the Market Place.  Tried to install it and the whole system dumped with a data exception.  Sounds like 2024 has issues and isn't ready for prime time.  Maybe its graphics are better but if I can't install something from within the system, bad show!

now if you take 2024 into account as well, the picture is even clearer. i gave 2024 another shot yesterday evening to see how things had progressed and i was just flabbergasted by how many issues slapped me in the face constantly for ~75 minutes until i gave up and refunded again.

I read this sort of thing about ‘24 and believe me, I’ve had issues with it but I think I must have some different version of the sim.

 I don’t have stutters, I don’t have crashes, it looks amazing, it performs superbly and yet…..

sometimes I feel guilty or strangely left out of the fun because for me…it just works.

Jan, 2021. Before that I used P3D, so MSFS was a major improvement. I don't see that same benefit going from 2020 to 2024, just problems I don't need. 

 

You didn't even try it. I bet if you do you won't go back.

... thus replicating 2020's development perfectly.

2020 was a brand new sim. 2024 is a development of 2020. They had the basics. Or is it (2024) such a radically different beast altogether?

Drama much?

I've been happily flying 2024 since launch, worked through the early problems, SU1 came along and happy days.

Great aircraft and scenery addons, some amazing 2024 Premium content out there.   Just love it.

Hm, well, there actually are people who did try it and went back... so I wouldn't bet on it. 😉 

I myself installed MSFS2024 on day 1 on a freshly installed copy of Windows 11, uninstalled MSFS2024 and got a refund on day 2, rebought and reinstalled MSFS2024 again on day 3 and never looked back. SU1 made it a lot better and SU2 improved it even further. It's absolutely bloody brilliant for... (!) ... my kind of flying! I guess it's less brilliant for people who use the sim in other ways. I myself only (and really absolutely ONLY) fly the Vision Jet in Free flight (never even touched the career mode or anything) and absolutely love MSFS2024. The graphics are soooooo much better, I love the EFB (specially after SU2) and the LIDO charts (bye bye Navigraph!), the default Vision Jet blows the payware version out of the water, loading times are much better (SU2 shaved off another minute and the sim 's ready to go after just 2 minutes now) and... it's only just begun!!!

Still, I do understand some of the negativity... as I said: MSFS2024 works fine for my kind of flying but I am sure others may have big problems with certain things that still need to be fixed. But I am sure that within a year or so most of those problems will be fixed and MSFS2024 will be the default sim for most simmers.

You should be telling all that to Bob, not me, lol. He is the one who needs convincing. I already know all that and that's why I won't go back.

I know. Only the first line of my post (which you didn't quote) was meant for you, haha!

They did say they couldn't accomplish what they wanted with 2020 - 2024 was a significant change.

You could shorten that - despite the "rant-y" nature of Greazer'

Once upon a time I was flying free in the air, but now there's only total despair. Nothing I can say, a total eclipse of the Sim.

Why waste valuable time?

how on earth is it STILL not possible to have the sim remember your selected worldmap filters?

Answered your own question.

Is this a re-release from Bonnie Greazer?
