If you can get into BIOS / UEFI, try resetting all of the settings and use the old RAM sticks. Then I would download any potential BIOS update and chipset update and install those. Then I would try the new sticks. Sometimes a PC won't boot if the pressure on the cooler vs the CPU is too high. If you slacken the screws half a turn it might actually work.

I believe the cabin with all it's glorious detail (incl. highly detailed crew bunks, galleys and even two working cabin control panels) is only possible in 2024 due to how the LOD works. From what I gather, it is far less taxing for the system.

I took a break from flight sim winter of 22/23, because they had introduced a trackIR bug in December and refused to fix it until February. All I do is bush flying, so I need it. But these few months was enough for me to lose my interest again. I packed up my peripherals and did other things instead. Then news of 2024 came about, and I decided this would be the perfect time to get back into it. Delete MSFS2020, update from Win 10 to Win 11, and then install MSFS2024. But then on launch day I saw the complete and utter mess this was. It took away the hype. So now I'm just a grumpy middle aged man complaining on the forums instead.

True. It's awesome that MSFS 2024 have these improvements, but I wish X-Plane was in a state to compete even better to the benefit of everyone.

I think introducing the option to cache/store locally large amounts of data would be a good thing. It would speed up the process for the users that want to do it, and also for the users who want to rely on the servers. The load on the servers would lessen significantly, increasing performance.

Looks really nice. Still some LOD popping though. Do the size of the tires matter? If your aircraft has Alaska Bush tires it should handle rough surface better.

I really hope that will be an update at some point. Career mode as jump pilot, and letting other players jump out and hurdle towards the ground, and then have the option to pull the chute and control it. Aim for a marker or something. It would be a blast in VR. 🤣

All of these bugs were present in MSFS2020 and then fixed. It's almost as if the 2024 team started developing the new sim at a point where these things were still bugs in 2020. And then failed to notice or fix the issues. That's quite astounding.

MSFS goes between being CPU limited or GPU limited depending on where you fly, the weather, traffic and so on. So it's absolutely worth the upgrade if you're buying it for flight sim use. I saw a massive uplift going from 5900X to 5800X3D at 2560x1440 a couple of years ago.

I was hoping for a 757! But 747-100 is kind of cool. To sit at the gate and click buttons, listen to the sounds and admire it.

It seems like the Aerosoft way of doing business. They had a very good and well functioning Twin Otter Extended version for FSX/P3D. Then they made a new version for MS2020, severely lacking in functionality. Throughout the development process they received feedback and criticism in their own forums. They promised to fix certain things before launch, but didn't. Then they just removed it from sale anywhere.

My plan is to wait a few weeks until the hotfixes are implemented. Then scrub my PC clean of everything MSFS 2020. Then update from Win 10 to Win 11. And then install MSFS 2024. Do we know when exactly 2024 will launch btw?

I would love to see these: - DC-9 (all types, but we had to choose one, maybe the 30 or the 50) - 737-200 (all types, but preferably the ADV and/or with gravel kit, combi would be great) - 707 / E-3 Sentry / KC-135 - C-130J Super Hercules - DHC-6 Twin Otter (a proper one, not the cut down, half baked Aerosoft version)

What was the solution?

I pretty much fly only GA, but if the price is right I will buy this thing just to look at it and push buttons and listen to the sounds. Looks really impressive in the teaser trailer. Love the inclusion of the avionics bay.
