I disagree with most of the comments above: IT IS interesting. Because Brazil can only happen with the Marketplace, meaning the Marketplace will be here in 11 March (and I rattle this out on the keyboard being blissfully unaware of the MP release date prior to reading this, but gather now it is widely known). So thank you to @CFIJose.

I thought MSFS 2024 was still in Beta. 😂

I hate MSFS 2024. Yet I fly it every day (in spite of still having my '20 install intact, but untouched). There will be frustrating times and frustrating aircraft, but when the cheese holes line up it's fantastic. Go upgrade and enjoy the journey.

I'd say much depends on WHAT you intend to fly. Like others have pointed out, FS 2024 is the future, but at present many, many of the aircraft have hopelessly glaring issues. If you fly, for example, general-aviation offerings then far too many of the MS/Asobo defaults in '24 have major issues. If you like helicopters then '24 is probably a good option. Can't comment on tubeliners as it's not at all my thing (any more). FS '20, on the other hand, has a functioning online store. '24 doesn't (yet). FWIW I have clung to '20 as I continue to frustrate myself (and curse the developers) with '24. BUT I also have not launched '20 even once since '24 was released. Have you considered X-Plane? 😂

Same here.

It semi works for me. Enable Premium Deluxe, have some flights then a day or two later I have to re-enable it.

Do your chocks, covers etc turn blue when you hover your cursor over them? If they (generally) do, and something doesn't then try moving closer. Some pitot covers have to be removed from the front of the wing, others are more forgiving (generally speaking, of course). AFAIR the canopy cover on the SR22 is a fairly easy click spot – can be done from some distance away and anywhere on it is an active area to click. Cabin entry by clicking on the door handle from the trailing edge of wing root (pilot's side). Hate to point out the obvious, but assuming you are trying to do this in walk-around mode, not when inside the cabin?

The Cirrus has a washed out windshield (which will be addressed ... eventually). The flight dynamics are pretty dull and predictable. It's a fascinating aircraft in real life, but the reworked sim version always felt a little off to me (which is not to say I liked the first version in MSFS 2020, just with all the hype of the reworked MSFS 2020 version and now the 2024 version it falls short of my expectations. On the up side the sounds are pretty good and the parachute works (everyone plays with that once, right?). One more major annoyance for me: the trim indicator doesn't work. The Corvalis is ugly. And small. And slower than a 400 should be (some claim). But it actually flies quite nicely. System depth is surface-level only but it's not at all the worst thing Asobo has dished up. Lively to hand fly in a satisfying way. My recommendation: spend the tiny extra few $ and get the full collection of aircraft. Then tell us which one you prefer.

Robbie feels the same to me. Tried the 125 again earlier today, this time with calm weather rather than the usual (live) gusty windy conditions of my surroundings; felt okay. It's a little titchy in yaw, but not too bad (the ability to trim helps a lot). Still prefer the R66 though, apart from very little (initial) AT input on liftoff it's actually pretty good. Yet to try the Cabri, but now you made me want to. 😆

Ironically the ONLY TWO products in MSFS 2024 I was really looking forward to was the H125 and the PC-24. Hoo boy. 😂

It seems to work for me (hold, re-position collective, release) during flight. But I really dislike the FM of the H125, seems to twitch all by itself (granted my controller potentiometers are not fantastic, but all other helis are predictable). It's beyond me how the H125 can need both left and right AT pedal inputs on lift-off (into a headwind). R66 seems to be the pick of the bunch.

R66 under the Skycourier. I get the niggles, what is a little more annoying is that searching for – say, in my case, R66 – reveals a whole lot of nothing. Sigh.

1) Correct all the obviously broken aircraft (PC-24 etc) 2) Give us trim for the H125 ... 'the real doesn't have it' is not a valid argument, the real one needs anti-torque input on lift off and cannot be started by pressing Control+E either 3) Some access to encrypted files so the community can improve flight models etc

EDIT ... whoops replied to the wrong thread. Thank you Bert for kindly creating and sharing the 33y GPS mod. 👍

What puzzles me is the inconsistency. The SR22's windshield is a washed out mess. The Corvalis has perfectly clear glass. (And I won't mention the ground below reflecting on the glass inside the cockpit). That sums it up perfectly. But hey, we still have a great sim to enjoy (if you step around the niggles). 🙂
