Who else fully moved over to MSFS2024 this week?

Looks like my MD11 is inbound to 2024 come Monday, that is when I ditch 2020 and free up all that HDD space.

No - you're not! I'm the same, never used time acceleration.

I've never used time acceleration, either.

He wasn't challenging you!

He was sort of agreeing with you.  There isn't a compelling need to move from one flight sim platform to another, if you enjoy the features of the old, and aren't interested in the features of the new.

Yet you just take the opportunity to insult and question his knowledge of a word he used.

He's right.   Some people on here......

You’re both talking past me, unfortunately. I was trying to identify compelling reasons for me personally to go from FS20 to FS24, and I said I didn’t see any specific new features that I personally find compelling.

You've reframed that into “can you keep running old software if you like it?”, which is obviously true but not the point I was making.

When I said “compelling,” I meant compelling features in FS24 relative to FS20.

Hope that clarifies!

Career mode is pretty good. It gets you flying planes you might not fly in areas of the world you might never visit. SU4 is rock solid on my rig. No crashes in over a week of heavy usage daily. Performance is exceptional.

Is it worth it to install the 2020 World Updates that appear in the Marketplace in 2024?

For me they appeared in status “streamed” and I understand there is no need to install them?

If it says “streamed,” it’s because 2024 is using them. I prefer everything installed; but OK, that answers my question. Thank you!

I assume for faster performance?

Hi Shomron:

Pretty much everything in MSFS including such updates (and aircraft etc.) are now streamed by default. It’s a significant shift of mindset when you’re transitioning from MSFS2020 to MSFS2024.

This is to make use of newer (client-server) technology and also to reduce local installation/footprint size. An option for local download was added in later into MSFS2024, but I’ve never used it myself…except for the first time (and the only time) just yesterday when I did not see the (free) iniBuilds VIP Update of my A340 aircraft (automatically) streamed in, so, I’d manually download and install the update. These are rare exceptions…

Since, it’s now more on-demand usage of scenery and textures etc., yes, it’s meant for higher performance. However, it can affect user experience. Just as, I was earlier today watching a film on (Amazon) Prime Video, and in the middle of it, it stopped streaming for a minute, with appearance of that spinning white circle instead, not something we would ever expect to see from using a DVD based film…

So, whether we like it or not, streaming and clouds are here to stay with us…🙂

Cheers…!

Am on 2020 and enjoying it. I fly the Lear35a. FSW developed one for 2024 using the new sdk features. That’s the only reason I see for moving over. But am not cause 2020 is running and looking so good. Let us know what you decide.
