I still uninstalled it. It's just not as good as my trusty FS2020. For those that decided to move on to 2024, I don't begrudge them. May they enjoy their preferred sim. MSFS

That's awesome! I forgot to add the few hours that it took me to set up my controllers. Hopefully, those settings will stick when I try it again after SU3 is released. MSFS

Most people will post negative comments when something is not right for them, but many others don't see their issues. SU2 beta is now very good - why not install 2024 and see for yourself on your system with your mods - you may not have the issues you are reading about. You can at least start the transition to 2024, with the mods you use that are now compatible?

I have no interest in flying anything else, and to me, 2020 looks great, as it has since I got it over 3,000 hours ago.

I would stick to 2020 too if I only flew two aircraft that were not available for 2024. When they do become available, will you be switching to 2024 to gain the upgraded features?

If they were that different, I might have kept both as disk space isn’t an issue for me. Since I already use multiple simulators, removing one helps me spend more time actually flying and less time managing updates. I forgot to mention it earlier, but for me, the thin client approach in 2024 is also a big plus. It significantly reduces loading and update times, which adds to the overall convenience. Yes. And a side benefit of the new architecture is very much a SaaS thing: there are undoubtedly a lot of updates happening only on the server-side that we never even hear about, but that move the sim forward nonetheless.

In fact, the Orbx Direct installer even offered to do exactly that for me on a couple sceneries I was installing yesterday. A pleasant surprise!

Do you know if you can turn that off BTW? Since I manage the process with addon linker I find the prompt annoying now.

Well, yeah, in the ground textures & mesh department XP is relatively dated. I'm self-limited to the Orbx regional areas, especially for regions I know well. But XP does have its strong points and is very satisfying to fly, particularly for GA aircraft. But again, this is coming from a guy who from time to time still cranks up P3D with full-stack Orbx just so I can fly two add-ons there!

But yes good for those who don't use addon linker. IDK - I had quite a stack of downloads queued up so I just accepted and moved on. Agree with using Addon Linker - extremely useful. Similar to xToolbox/xOrganizer in XP.
