What's missing from MSFS 2024?

Basic things should be implemented from the beginning

Do you have the list of approved "basic things"?  Super duper subjective as to what matters.   For me, worldwide ortho scenery is absolutely positively--basic 😉

    Sorry Noel but I completely disagree with you here - I have the exact same issue but it wasn't a problem in SU1 and early versions of SU2. There's absolutely nothing wrong with my computer or setup -

    I don't particularly miss 2020 but hey there were one or two things I wish were ported over. But that will happen eventually. What a clickbait-y title though, which is a bit surprising. So accord

    A bit of an aside, but for me this is one of those small improvements that made a big difference and made helicopters really enjoyable in 2024. Being able to pick any spot on the ground and start in c

The ability to land at an airport without dropping FPS from 90 on approach to about 10 when you get just over the runway is missing. May not be for all, but it’s reported by very many people on the forums.

Cloud quality from the middle distance is missing, they now have horrible LOD compared to 2020 and just look like terrible blobs in the distance. A side effect of this is that big fronts don’t form in the distance. They just start as these blobs and then morph into actual clouds as you get closer. You can observe this by zooming in on the clouds in the distance and seeing them change shape in about 1 second intervals.

Airport ground lighting and papis realism is missing. They just turned them into massive blobs rather than the nice sharp lights like they used to be.

A decent UI is missing. What was content manager is awful. For example you search for EGLL to disable the handcrafted and about 7 lines appear all within sub menus etc. In 2020, you search the ICAO code and literally that airport just appears and you can easily see where it is.

The menus are a disaster, so laggy.

Weight and balance is missing. You can’t load the aircraft properly, you can see this by the values on the weight and balance screen in the menu completely not matching what you have set with the useless EFB.

 

Crisp ground textures are missing.
 

It’s a right royal mess.

Outside of the odd logic in how the GUI was done in spots the rest of your complaints are so foreign here it makes me think your machine or software config is a royal mess.  I just had the most exquisite dawn flight out of KSLC, unbelievably crisp and spectacular as has been the view from on high to KSAN.  I don't have any substantial drop in rate upon arrival except the predicted drop when coming into the most demanding terminals, and then it's a drop from 50 to 42+ at the lowest.  PAPI's, 'massive blob'?  'Laggy' menus?  Something's wrong on your end.  The EFB has fabulous elements for a universal EFB.  Your description of clouds doesn't fit here either.  I just did your zooming suggestion and saw nothing other than zooming in.  Further, total cloud/lighting depiction is for me is vastly closer to what I will see in the RW over 2020 depiction.

This one right here drives me bonkers😮 Weight and balance is missing. You can’t load the aircraft properly, you can see this by the values on the weight and balance screen in the menu completely not matching what you have set with the useless EFB.

No it's not Noel. It's just not. The only royal mess is 2024.

Again, no it is not. Known problems. Check the official forums for lists and lists of complaints such as this one. Or just keep turning a blind eye to it.

Do you have a list? And why the wink face? Just can't help yourself can you? I would say that for me working AI and ATC is absolutely positively--basic for a simulator that is supposed to be simulating a flight environment. Otherwise why do I have a detailed 737, being overtaken by a CJ4 on the runway that was directed to do so by buggy ATC that doesn't even know I am there.

But sure I can look at the outdated photo scenery of a fair that comes near my house once a year, but is permanently there in MSFS, that pops in to place as I fly over it. Super immersive. 

The classic "it doesn't happen to me therefore it must be your setup" argument 🥱 be good if people actually frequented the official bug reporting forums to see what's being reported before making fools of themselves eh!

People keep saying that, and yet he is not the only person with these issues. There are plenty of other MSFS 2024 users on this forum who apparently suffer from the same problems. Do they all have something wrong with their PCs??

Says the pompous pot to the kettle.  You don't have a clue if abennet's hardware and setup are borked or not.  When someone describes coming in to land and dropping from 90fps to 10fps isn't a massive bright red flag that something is indeed all FU?  I don't experience this at all and have settings tuned to insure that and don't use FG.  If you're still trying to use default ATC and traffic in either version of MSFS you're more lost than I imagined.   But that's not why you're here as you don't intend to make MSFS 2024 work for you.  You only wish to bash, period.

Oh I see so setup and hardware don't come into play, oh okay.   Yep, 2024 is fabulous here, unbelievably gorgeous and performance is stellar.   No 'laggy' menus here.

Never said all those with complaints have something wrong with their PCs that is your twist.  The red flag in abennet's post was the obviously screwed up drop from 90fps to 10fps during landing.  If that happens to you in 2024 it's very likely your configuration from hardware drivers or your LOD settings or something along those lines.  I don't need to visit forums which are replete with problem reporting so are super biased to the negative.  What I do know is 2024 SU2 has been fabulous, trouble free, visually super compelling and with stellar performance.

The low FPS on final is a widely reported issue since SU2 beta, but some people just bury their heads in the sand because it doesn't happen to them...

 

Better off ignored.
