I'm 90% in 2024 flying the Fenix, HOWEVER when I do fly the 777 in 2020 I have a similar experience, so I am able to see the beauty in both still.

The way-too-aggressive LODS in and out are also an issue at KLAX I have found. So it's clearly a known limitation being dealt with.

Ini Heathrow 2024 Premium has some LOD issues (ie very late loading buildings when you're right on them) that the discord says are Asobo related right now.

It seems like we all have been saying this for years !

Sometimes BATC will put you on the STAR which is then mostly on you. I have been using it for a few weeks and I find yes it's always WIP but the experience for me great so far. This regenerative AI space is going to evolve quickly and what we pay a lot for now will become very cheap before long. Kind of like "data" itself did.

I understand their forward plans. They are a business after all and need to balance their considerations. I'm 98% on 2024 now anyway. The same thing happened in the days of FS9/FSX.

I've stopped chasing miraculous fractions of % performance from one month to the next. I get great performance on version 560.94 and am happy to leave it alone for now (4090)

I have tried both now and am angling towards staying with BATC. On a cost level, it seems that when you work it out SI is better value when you do at least 1 flight per day. So if you fly every 2nd day or less then BATC becomes better value. SI also has an onward recurring cost which puts into the "subscription mindset" I'm not really fussed what's happening with the AI Traffic side of things for each of them.

How good were those days. That Level-D was a solid plane

I've just done the 24 hour try out for SayIntentions and I have been very impressed. I flew two x 1 hour IFR flights in the Fenix (2024). It's a lot of fun. Is it worth the price ? I'm still weighing this up. That's an individual question. I suspect I'll end up buying it. It got a bit mixed up only sometimes but for the most part it's an incredible use of adaptive AI and this will be such an exciting development space moving forward. It can only improve. I've never used ATC since the FSX days but now it's a very busy experience, especially running FS2Crew at the same time.

Having a ball currently with the 24hr demo on short Fenix flights. I am basically thrilled at how much fun SI is. It even seems to integrate flawlessly with FS2Crew. Really amazing all round. I would pay the full yearly sub on this and likely will do so.

I have copied all the ones I own to the 2024 side and they appear to work, give or take the odd tree on a taxi way (YSSY) but I can ignore that.

Apart from that ^^ any major showstoppers now ? PS Is anyone having issues with the website to purchase this ?

I've always been somewhat anti-interiors. I used to say those frames are much better spent outside. I guess with mega-RAM setups and 14th Gen i7's etc we can maybe afford to have some interiors without the old fps hit. You can cleverly model & texture your buildings though to appear like they have interiors from the cockpit though.

I'm not aware of any current problem. Both my 2020 and 2024 are working perfectly. That's still on 560.94 and I'm seeing no reason to change this yet. I'm using TAA also as I can't see the difference that all these "youtoobers" are flashing around. I mostly fly at 38,000 ft not at 300 feet over Manhattan.
