but turbulence and wind gust effects are too abrupt. That'll be addressed as part of the 2024 native build.

Yes, Andrew, that's exactly what I'm seeing in MSFS 2024. I noticed it immediately compared to the previous version. I no longer have MSFS 2020 installed, so I can't compare directly, but something definitely changed, and in my opinion the earlier version had better flight dynamics.

To be fair, the new 2024 FDE entries actually work very well in 2020, which suggests the issue can likely be addressed without too much difficulty.

That said, in many respects there is still no real comparison with the competition, and it's clear the developers are actively looking for improvements and refinements.

I am taking this up for a SEA-ANC flight checking to see if the CTD issue I have been having is fixed? I have noticed so far the plane feels a little less resource heavy on my machine. This certainly helps one way or another I would think!

Please Stand By......

Question - I know each airline has it's own configurations for these jets (various PFD/ND settings, ice probes, HUD, etc). My question is, when I select one of the iFly liveries, does that automatically select the proper configuration for that particular jet or do I have to do some serious googling and then go through and manually configure the jet so it's set up like the RL aircraft?

Speaking of RL, question - the outer most displays have a section that shows flight number, time, etc. Below that is a significant portion of the screen that is not in use, it's just blacked out. Is this section used by any current airlines? If so, what data is displayed?

I just had a CTD with the latest update. I was flying at 360 when suddenly my FPS dropped from steady 100 to 60 and then DirectX error popped up and sim froze. I have not had a CTD in over 2 years. And this was with a clean community folder.

I completed a 3-hour flight from KISP to KHOU. Had no issues. The take-off, cruised at FL360 and did ILS landing at Houston 31L. Glad the external lights were fixed.

Just completed my SEA-ANC flight and no CTD. It was pretty smooth sailing until on final I got one of the famous FS2024 memory error pop ups and it started to get little pauses when I changed views but luckily it never CTD on me. I think it might need more testing to know for sure but I think its extremely positive it did not CTD on this flight and after the update. Actually the 1st successful flight with SP1.
