    Yeah, I would have liked at least a week - and for others' sake maybe 6 month by the look of it. I like to save and resume flights when I'm ready for long-haul. Real life does get in the way sometimes! I'm happy to have ASFS instead now. Back home 🙂 Although I still spend 95% of my time in P3D to be honest.

    About Gamepass though, if MSFS doesn't bring in the revenue and users to offset what they spend on developing and running MSFS, they are better spending that money elsewhere. For example, should Microsoft spend another $30 USD million on MSFS if it only gets Microsoft another $30 million in revenue, or should Microsoft spend the $30 million adding a popular game to Gamepass, that would bring in $60 million in revenue for them? All things being equal, Microsoft would choose the second scenario, where spending $30 million on a different game would bring in $60 million in revenue for them. So it's not like Microsoft has an endless budget to spend on MSFS. And to be honest, flight simulation is not all that popular among gamers. Flight simulation is still a niche in the video game industry. Fortunately for us, Microsoft is seeing the revenue from MSFS, to justify spending all the money they are spending on making MSFS 2024 (and also all the free stuff we have gotten in MSFS 2020, and the continued development of MSFS 2020). My guess is, while the number of users for MSFS is a lot fewer than other video games, the spend per user is very, very high. There are people buying hundreds of dollars worth of products from the MSFS marketplace (probably some people spending over a thousand dollars in the MSFS marketplace). To me, MSFS 2024 is a very positive development, it shows that the business model is working for Microsoft. And in return, because the business model is working for Microsoft, we are getting yet another next generation flight simulator, that is pushing the boundaries of what modern technology can do for flight simulation (prior to MSFS, the flight simulators being used in the home market were definitely not pushing the limits of what modern technology can do for flight simulation).

    Without backporting certain changes, photogrammetry will likely break eventually, along with product updates in the marketplace. And then you'll have a handful of people screaming bloody murder on every social media platform about how they spent $60 four years ago and bought a bunch of addons in the marketplace and its unacceptable for MS to drop support blah blah blah. I would assume updates for existing 2020 addons will be released on both the 2020 and 2024 marketplace if the 3rd party dev desires, as it wouldn't make sense for MS/Asobo to maintain two update approval channels.

  9. tup61 started following Historical weather planned for MSFS 2024
  10. tup61
    Nice for daytime-flights-during-nighttime but personally I want historical weather for something like (for instance) summertime-flights-during-wintertime. So it's a start but not what I was hoping for and not something that gets me excited.

    Yeah, that's how it is supposed to work. It prevents collsiions. Yeah that's okay too, you did not collide, did you? If you wanted, you could have prevented that guy overtaking you by blocking it's callsign. You must have seen him on the TCAS and in LittelNavMap a while ago already (unless it really popped up out of nowhere).

    seems to me everyone here misses the point..its about gamepass, having succesfull games in the gamepass makes people stay on, how many millions have that pass? i dont know but i bet they have at least 100 miliion a month from that. also about not knowing about bugs...in such big projects often the lefthand (managers) do not seem to know what the righthand (workers) do or know. me as a worker have had first hand experience of that fact....i found it often really amasing the lack of knowledge of the project the management has, but they decide what is going to happen. we can only hope that msfs2024 is indeed better in some respects.

    I've never needed data older than 24 hours, but as always there are cases and cases... just these days, to test ASFS, someone wanted to test the Dubai storm...

    I have an impression that even the simple issue of Historical Weather “wasn't understood” by these gentlemen. “How does anyone want to use that?” I think was the question one of them said...

    I am getting similar FPS to IniBuilds JFK. For me no stutters or issues although it is a very dense area. I am running an overclocked 13900k and a 4090 though. I am very happy with this so far and am pleased to see MK Studios pushing out updates and attempting to optimize the scenery for those struggling with performance.

    "What lightning in clear skies bug?" Nothings changed in 4 years with their ignorance at times and yes that's what it is, ignorance towards obvious issues and massive threads with hundreds of reports not to mention the fact that if they played their own game they would see these issues. It was Martials ignorance towards the biggest VR bug last Q&A and this month it's Jorgs turn over a bug that's clearly affecting a helluva lot more users.

    I find the topic interesting and I'll revisit it in the future thanks.

    Can someone pls repost the link to the thread where there was a nice summary of how to set up DLSS nVIDIA Profile Inspector etc.? It was in one of the first posts in this thread but now the link is gone...

    you read to much into the free thing that I was using to clear my point of the importance of what going to be needed for future growth of market place which is the intended cash cow, and as you said, the updates to MSFS 2020 worth more than what we paid for the original release.
  23. kiek
    No that is not a model issue, but is caused by bad RT data
  24. MikeyOnTheFlightDeck
    Such a shame. I was quietly confident that during April we would see one of the following:- BATC SU15 PMDG 777 Patience is a virtue I guess
  25. kiek
    You will have to wait another week. The generation of the RT file (an automated, unmanned, proces) failed because it ran out of disk space... Balt has promised that the next run will be ok again.

    Very nice set, thanks for showing them ! cheers 😉

    Beautiful set, and very nice Islands.. cheers 😉

    24 hours at least covers all of us who want to fly daytime with the correct weather when we sit at our computer in the evening after a hard day of work...thats fine, i think.
