I would delete 2020 at once if SU5 can fix this strange 2024 reloading effect of the objects that brings down the frames horribly for 1 or 2 seconds while changing views, reported by many users in this forum. When not reloading 2024 is so smooth as silk, 2020 wins hands down in this part. So for now, no. Keeping both 2020 and 2024, as other said: 2020 more stable yet, 2024 the promise of the future, Anyway I don't have any problem enjoying both 2020 and 2024. So, to each their own.

For me flight simming is just 1 long version that never ends.

enough for MSFS 2024, only in the initial setup phase while it downloads your environment, during flight you'll never be limited by 50 MBit download speeds again, so no issue here. 

Thanks for the heads up. That's good to hear.

So i am right, still a buggy Flightsim, that's nothing for me 🤪

And i know there are a lot more buggy things, still a long way to go for MSFS2024, at least another year i assume !!

cheers 😉

Whilst I fully respect your decision to stick with MSFS 2020, I can honestly say that MSFS 2024 on my new PC has been every bit as reliable and stable as MSFS 2020 was on my old PC. I am aware that others have certain issues, but any issues that I have are not really any more extensive than those in MSFS 2020. On the one hand, GAIST does not work at all in AI Offline mode, which is a shame. On the other hand, those "land bars" have vanished (a big one for me), and the DEM and vector data has been significantly improved. I could mention a handful of others on both sides, but they basically cancel each other out.

Yeah, And I wish all the best to 2024 and I really want it to succeed because I enjoy some new features of 2024. I like all the sims, we are simmers after all and we are supposed to like these things, however I won't bargain stability and solid performance right now for some graphics improvements here and there (yes add some other features for sure) coupled with glaring glitches.

While 2024 has bugs, please don't think that every single bug affects every single user. I see so many people read about a bug and then immediately say "HAHA 2024 sucks, will never use". I mean, sure, but you're missing out.

If you try 2024 and a bug does happen to bite you (due to a combination of buggy code, hardware setups, user setups, network/internet issues, or pure dumb bad luck) and the bug is bad enough to drive you away, that makes total sense. 

What doesn't make sense is to read a list of bugs and think that every user is affected and we somehow ignore these bugs. Many bugs are highly specific and loads of users never see them. I have never tried World Photographer mode, so I wouldn't care even if there was a CTD bug there. If you love that mode, then yes, 2024 is unusable. Same with career mode issues - if you only do free flight.. who cares if career mode is buggy. 

2024 is truly amazing when it works, and yes, it has bugs. I still prefer 2024 (and XP 12 when 2024 irritates me 🙂 ) over 2020.

MSFS 2024 is not "buggy" at all. 

That's just fake news and misinformation.

The same blurry taxiway sign textures issue that I see at MK Studios BIKF Keflavik v2 is also evident at IniBuilds EGGW Luton and EGHI Southampton. I get the feeling that I will see this issue at quite a few airports during my testing phase in MSFS 2024. I have also noted other issues, and these are being logged.

Meanwhile, I've noticed this bug at a few more airports too (29 Palms EDDB, MSFS WU EDJA and EDVK).
Couldn't find a bug report in the MSFS forums yet so I decided to open a new topic.
Vote here to get attention to this bug: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/blurry-taxiway-and-runway-signs/757029

I still use FSX MSFS2020 and for about 3 months I've been preparing the way for MSFS2024, it's already installed on an SSD just for it.
The experience is great, I still use FSX and MSFS2020 because of some aircraft and add-ons that I like from them. I believe that in about a year everything will be for MSFS2024.
Incredibly, the performance is better in MSFS2024 than in MSFS2020.
The airport loading is top-notch, everything is very fast, between 3 and 7 seconds.

Does 2020 still prevent you from controlling the plane while using the mouse to pan? Do airport lights still stay on even in broad daylight? Careful with those stones in that glass house 😂. I don't experience the issue he described myself.

I purchased 2024 about 2 weeks ago.  I was waiting until the PMDG 737-800 was available and my virtual airline had our livery ready.

it took me all of two weeks to get all the setting and assignments tweaked (yoke, throttle and cameras etc).

Big improvement over 2020 in my opinion.

I deleted 2020 this morning while waiting for Microsoft to clear up the network outage. Hope that’s not a regular problem.

 

I haven't fired up 2020 for several weeks. I'm getting close to saying goodbye to it forever and freeing up sthe torage space.

I was still using P3D 5.4 when the Win11 24H2 issue broke all my Aerosoft Airbus planes and had been patiently waiting for a fix.  Over the holidays I finally hit the bullet and bought 2024.  I haven't looked back since. Yes, there are bugs (always on dome light in Adobo 737 max, missing Terminal E at KBOS, importing a simbrief flight plan into iniBuilds A320 not always working and trying to fix crashes the displays, etc.) but none of them are show stoppers.
