January 20Jan 20 I deleted MSFS 2020 after SU3 for 2024 had appeared. Before, I had a dual installation. After SU4 I made a complete uninstall/reinstall of MSFS2024 including cache cleanups and new NVidia driver. This procedure also removed some minor quirks which I had before. - Harry 9800x3D (Strix x870e-E) - 64GB RAM (DDR5 6000, CL 30) - RTX 5090, 34'' 1440p OLED HDR - Windows 11 Pro (1TB M.2) - MSFS 2024 (MS Store, 4TB M.2).

January 20Jan 20 Yes, some time after SU2 when most aircraft I like to fly were compatible with 2024. For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord. However, I do not get paid for it in any way.

It was working fine a few days ago. MSFS2024 still boots up as normal.

January 20Jan 20 I decided over the holidays to re-install Windows 11 on my PC as it was starting to give me issues. I decided not to re-install MSFS2020, as I really have not used it much since FSFS2024 was released, and now that 95% of the airplanes I fly are now available in MSFS2024, I did not see the need to re-install. Also said goodbye to P3D and X-plane as I have not touched them in years. Not saying there is anything wrong with them, they are all great sims, I just personally, did not use them anymore. However, I do have a back up of it, should I need it.

Actually, I did recently (during MSFS2024) make a valiant effort to retrieve and revive my FSX PC (from the basement) with my most favorite a/c likes of MD-11, 744, JS41, Q400, 727/737 -100/200 etc., but I could not bear the sight of FSX… I’m clearly not made of tougher stuff…to be able to use it now…🙂…
January 20Jan 20 My own opinion is that the default terrain graphics in MSFS after FS4 have been rubbish right up to the release of MSFS 2020. That is the moment when everything changed. I was so disappointed with the shimmering mess that greeted me with FS5 way back in 1993. Those textures may have looked good from orbit, but they were appalling at ground level. Only the rise of photoscenery saved the situation for me with FSX. Before that (and this was 2008), I used Flight Unlimited 2 and 3 exclusively. I made the mistake of purchasing every version of MSFS between FS5 and FS2002, and they were all a massive disappointment. The simple fact of the matter is that the scenery outside the cockpit windows has always mattered to me. I actually preferred the coloured vector graphics of FS4 to the textured rubbish that followed it.

January 20Jan 20 I'm not deleting it. It's annoying me about 2024 that when I watch replays, the smoke from under the landing gear keeps coming and going. Also, ChasePlane users, please tell me what to do—it's completely unresponsive with PMDG777, but it works with other planes. Contacting support hasn't helped—they're just ignoring me. This is one of the reasons I haven't upgraded to 2024—I thought I'd upgrade when CP was released.

If changes made in some future update to FS24 booger things up, I can instantly revert to FS2020 (or XP12, or P3Dv5). I also have a fair number of payware FS2020 sceneries that do not work in FS2024, and I'm remiss to re-purchase or pay to upgrade those that I don't frequent, but may still want to visit on occasion. I think of it as still keeping that extra boat that you don't need laying around the house. But hey there are still Amiga users. dd

Having spent full 14 years in FSX (2006-2020), the (default) world scenery and terrain textures in FSX felt rather appalling (compared to what we have today). Unless I happened to have a payware DEST airport, I would get that feeling of arriving in a place (in my PMDG airliner…🙂…), at a place devoid of any traces of human settlement…🙂…in the middle of nowhere…with just a strip meant for the runway… So, I compensated by photo-scenery, such as Mega Scenery Earth (MSE). I’d most of their titles for all parts of the world. The reason I mention MSE is because I recently received an email from them that their website is (finally) closing down for business, effective this December. Times have surely changed for us in our SIMs…
