Yes Virginia, the 2024 GUI Screens are Appalling

Featured Replies

Everyone can agree on one thing. The 2024 GUI screens are the Worst designs Ever.  

It's one thing to have Bad or Incompetent designers, but another thing for them to get Approved and they are found in the final product!

What should happen is, the Community should be allowed to design new GUI screen replacements that are streamlined, simple and easy to use. 

Then there would be a Community poll to decide the best one, for a future release update.

    He doesn't. Like a lot of it's critics here, he doesn't actually have a copy of 2024. Bizarre...but true.

Any chance you might actually drop something constructive to the Avsim Forums mate?

You run around like an unregistered dog looking to snipe at MSFS2024 any chance you get.

I like them, have done so since release, so not everyone.

When I read many reviews of a restaurant where reviewers say food and service was terrible, I don't go there for dinner to see for myself. 😉

 

 

 

I like the UI.   Possible modes of the sim on the home screen and very few clicks to get to flying. 👍

I like the UI. Took me maybe an hour to get used to it. But then, I am a grown up. 

 9950X3D - X870E Aorus Master- TUF 5090 OC - 64GB DDR5 - 1500W HXi - Titan 360 RX LCD - 9100 Pro x 2  - LG 45GX950A - HOTAS Warthog with Ava Base

UI is one of the worst I’ve seen in a long time … seems to be geared around the XBOX crowd and the XBOX controller.

1.  On the controller screen the button value (i.e. 1, 2, 3, etc) isn’t integrated into the input box, it overlays it resulting in an ugly box covering the text behind it.

2.  Slider arrows on either side of a selection box so that you have to scroll thru every option until you find the one you want … why not use a simple dropdown box?  Click, one select vs. clicking < or > many times going thru the entire list of options?

3.  Control groups specific to aircraft is a confusing mess, it’s like they tried to implement FSUIPC functionality but missed the boat on UI design.  Seen countless people wondering why their “assignments didn’t stick” support threads.  

I’m a long time software engineer so my “nit pick” is because my users would NOT let me get away with the UI that is presented in MSFS 2024.

What’s with the “can’t deal with negativity” stuff … hurt “feelings” or something?  I don’t get that process of hide head in the sand because I don’t want to hear about it?  It’s essential to get user feedback, it improves the product and hopefully sales.  

As much as I would like to have users like some of you, ultimately you’d be bad for business/sales.

How many restaurants V flight sims are there to choose from?

This is not a good thing for UI design.

Bet you would not offer a review of said restaurant though, having not dined there yourself..  If you did I might hold you in the same level of low esteem I do with G dude.
