Nobody asked you for this or appointed you to this role. There must be a misunderstanding to think you have the right to bother everyone and every time with this duty. 

It's okay.  Deep down he knows he's a flog dog of a bloke who does nothing but whine and gripe about 2024.

The planned SU16 is showing some promise. As discussed in the live stream with Lionel. However no mention whatsoever of FSR3 or FSR4.  I think it's not good enough.

WHAT is your ultimate agenda here, seriously? 

Who said he had an agenda?

I asked you this a month ago and you never replied:

I’ve asked you several questions over the previous months and have had no reply 🤷🏻‍♂️

at least I saw "aggressive LOD handling" mentioned.

Sure, maybe random stuff just comes out of his brain with no purpose, that's possible for sure.

Feel free, go ahead ask any question relevant to the topic in the thread or other threads.

Sure, that's always the case for you.

Do you think it is good enough? Several months after release, and their second major sim release, and we have taxi signs popping in 10 feet away, AI aicraft that are quite frankly a mess, and no end in sight?

Absolutely for me it's currently 'good enough' to do what I've done with MSFS going on 5 years now:  choose a route in Simbrief, use the fabulous import tools available to get the OFP into the airliners or light jets I'm using.  Next, we load up Self Loading Cargo and BATC and have gorgeous flights from gate to gate with nary any issues in either sim.   I'm loving performance in 2024 as I'm able to get rid of the heinous artifacts associated w/ FG when using 2 screens as I'm able to maintain 50fps with maxed out everything, in largest part.  Am I aware of its current shortcomings like the ones you've mentioned?  For starters, I never see 'taxi signs popping up 10 feet away'.  That is either a gross exaggeration or something is gravely wrong with how you're configured.  I use FSLTL, so whatever is amiss w/ AI aircraft is not relevant here.  Your 'no end in sight' is exactly the same warped view coming out of Greazer.  You have no idea what's in sight nor do your buddies Greazer, Bobcat999 and a few others looking only at what's wrong w/ these two amazing sims.   I'm very good at using what works well and waiting for improvements in what doesn't.  Lately I've been just digging simple default planes like the Longitude and mind-blowing imagery this morning out of KPSP at dawn, just breathtakingly real with stunning performance in the AS CRJ700.

Putting it where the goats can get it:  for every one defect in MSFS 2020 or 2024 there are a things done very right and those, are ignored by usual suspects, yourself included.

So me and hundreds of others are wrong then and have wrong setups? Ok, I will be sure to tell everyone over the official forums and reddit users who experience the same thing that we are all setup incorrectly.

Ahhh so everthing is perfect for you, and me and my 'buddies' are just wrong? Correct? @Greazer @bobcat999

One thing I did notice was a common theme of we have a lot of bugs to fix before we start taking on new features.  Obviously some nice new stuff from WT/Asobo, but they are also working on Boeing bug fixes and will have an art team to fix model issues.  WT are also working on incremental ATC/AI improvements.

I also liked the substitution of WT's Chris Burnett for Martial

After completing yet another awesome flight in 2024 I'm off to hit some balls on the range.  Like golf, 'perfection' isn't possible in any flight sim and never will be.  My cup's 90% full.

Yeah, I thought this was really encouraging.
