This came up on the Career Mode thread on MS Forums. Apparently there is a command 'Toggle Visual Assistance Aids' or something very similar that does this. It doesn't have any binding by default so you'll need assign one

May be better to VPN to Ireland from what I've read on the FS forums since it's lower latency than US.

I live in the UK and installed and logged in quite happily around 7am on Wednesday. I had a short flight in the afternoon. Biggest issue for me was the changed keyboard shortcuts from 2020.

Sebastian said they simulated 200,000 concurrent requests. against that server. Did it not occur to anyone to check what the concurrent demand was at 2020 launch? Even if they didn't have exact figures then at least they might have been in the right ballpark.

Having watched the interview with the Asobo co-founder it's clear that Career Mode as it appears in 2024 is their estimate of what people might like. They're quite open to tweaking it depending on feedback. I suspect will be aimed more at the less demanding side since the aim is to get the widest audience. TL:DR People looking for a rigorous training regime will probably be disappointed but if it can attract far more people into becoming more flight proficient that's no bad thing.

What's the betting they're people who accepted the default location instead of specifying a different location? 🙄 I believe Microsoft even recommended using a different location for 2020 betas.

Tech Alpha forum is here for those who were wondering.

Probably thought they might find helpful advice rather than a sneering and condescending post. I remember all the posts where people had problems with updates such as reinstalling the whole sim because they hadn't got the hang of how to do it correctly. Have a nice day!

I believe this was more about the reduction in processor usage rather than fps. I know there was a lot of discussion about the subject at the time.

You're way behind the times. This was raised as a wish on the MSFS forums a few years ago. The latest wish list available from MS/Asobo shows the wish marked as 'Not Planned' after appearing as 'Under Investigation' for quite a while.

Looking back through my records I see I paid £110 for all the bells and whistles back in 2020; less than £30 a year. Nowadays that would be £135 adjusting for inflation. Personally, I fully intend to get the equivalent version when 2024 comes out although I'll wait a few months before buying it to get the worst of the bugs out of the way, not to mention missing most other people bringing the download servers to a crawl

What's the betting that SU16 will principally contain the stuff backported from 2024? I have my doubts that we'll ever see SU17 unless it's planned as a final bugfix version.

I don't really look at aggregator sites that often but I do tend to look at this forum on a daily basis and I never saw anything about the survey. I subscribe to Navigraph as well so it seems they don't even remind their subscribers.

I see the discussion thread for this update on MSFS forums has a number of pointed comments about the lack of info contained in these updates with a suggestion that perhaps they should move them to a monthly basis.

In one of the FSExpo's interviews the lack of any mention of ATC changes was specifically mentioned and Jorg's reply was "No, I did not!". Jorg then went on to mention that there was plenty of time before release to start drip feeding functionality. My view is that there will be changes to ATC but whether this will be minor tweaks or a complete revamp and what the community's view of those changes will be is another matter altogether. I suspect there'll be some changes to those other topics you mentioned but not necessarily major.
