I wonder if the amount of releases relates to the amount of money being spent by consumers. Obviously I can't speak for everyone, but I personally have spent an awful lot less since 2024 came out. I spent a small fortune on addons when 2020 released, and for the most part I use old 2020 addons that either work with 2024 or have been made compatible. I have purchased a couple of 2024 specific addons, but only if there was an upgrade price.

I seem to remember sometime ago some people were having issues with USB devices causing problems due to them entering a power saving mode after a while. Maybe worth checking and disabling?

No, kinda lost some interest unfortunately, also didn't want to spend a bunch more money on scenery addons for 2024. I do plan on starting again, maybe getting just a couple of updated addons.

I have both, mostly used 2020 while trying to get to grips with 2024's hardware control setups and bug's. Haven't used either since around September last year, fed up with the state of them either 'as is' or with the bugs introduced from updates. I'm trying to keep up to date with the progress of both, and will probably start flying again soon as development is improving with 2024, and 3rd party support for 2020 is dying off.

For some of us Flight Simulation is a hobby / pastime, for others it's a business. For those in the business camp it's up to them how they market and release their products based on the amount of work and effort put in to their products.

Personally I'd rather they (whoever the publisher is) just release their aircraft / updates to their paying customers first, rather than give to influencers to try and hype the product beforehand. At the end of the day, we know the product / update is coming and I am happy to wait for the final product to be released for me to use.

I guess there are people who spend a lot of the time outside the aircraft, but I spend 99% in the flight deck. I think I'll wait to see what PMDG eventually come up with.

There is not much footage of the sounds in the flight deck, they are mostly from outside or in the cabin.

This is one reason I've stopped buying addons.

FlyTampa were looking at EGLL a while back, but I'm not sure that will go ahead which will be a shame.

Just checking, have you removed the intake blanks? I only ask because I ddin't realise they were fitted and couldn't start the engine lol.

KPHX Phoenix Sky Harbor is in joint development by Jetstream and Flightbeam KPHX - Phoenix Sky Harbor for MSFS

Ah, okay, misread. Thought they were asking if it was a paid addon for 2020 🤣

No ,free for both versions. It's just the Piper aircraft that's different.

777-300 released for 2024, and updates to the 200ER released. [13JUN25] We are not afraid of Friday the 13th... - PMDG Simulations 777F and 777-200ER updated (FS2020 and FS2024) + 777-300ER released for FS2024 - PMDG Simulations

Might be worth trying to hide the pilot in the Sim settings if you haven't already. I believe it's something like ... Click your profile name. Customize identity. Co-pilot. Select the empty space.

I'm glad it's just not me. I have 2020 and 2024, and have been trying to get used to 2024 as I know support for 2020 from MS/Asobo and 3rd party devs will be limited going forward, and will end at some point. The 2 things I really dislike about 2024 is the control setup and bindings, and the aggressive LOD. Hopefully things will improve soon.

New update to v1.0.4 available - T3 - Pillar missing from building base near 323 - Roof Normals Inverted - [SU2] T3 disappears when flying in from another location

Already logged as a bug, apparently fixed in the upcoming SU. Msfs 2020 will not shut down fully - Bug Reporting Hub / Install, Performance & Graphics - Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums

If it's only for use on a PC then I personally get the cheaper version. I purchased the PC version when it first came out and haven't had any problems with it.

Not sure what the cause is. I don't use 2024 much at the moment, but only noticed it a day or 2 ago. I did some benchmarking and stress testing of my PC/GPU yesterday and everything appeared okay, no graphical problems, and had a play around in 2020, also no issues. Just seems to happen in 2024.

Thanks for the suggestion. My Displacement Mapping setting was set to 'ON', I turned it off, reset TLOD to 400 and unfortunately it's still happening. TLOD is back down to 200 now, so will probably just leave it at that.

Not sure if I have an issue with my system, but I reduced the TLOD from 400 to 200, and that seems to have fixed the issue for now.

Okay, tested ORBX EGLC v2 and Ini's EGLL and it happens there as well. When I move toward the artifacts, they disappear, I start to move backwards and they reappear, it's almost like the artifacts are tied to the LOD's with them popping in and out. Funny thing is, if I move even further away they disappear, but if I then move forwards to where they were, they do not reappear. Also, constantly switching between FREE CAM and RESUME, sometimes I have the texture issues, sometimes I don't.

I am trying to get used to 2024 so that I can switch from 2020 at some point, and I'm currently setting up things like cameras, texture options and my controls. I found the glitches by chance when switching quickly between FREE CAM and RESUME a number of times. At first I though it was a problem with my graphics card, but the artifacts don't happen all the time, and only with certain scenery addons, so I'm not sure. So far after a fair bit of testing with a few 3rd party airports I have only experienced the glitches with IniBuild's JFK and LAX, but plan to test their LHR when I get a bit more time. I've done some extensive testing at a lot of airports in 2020, and I don't get any glitches, just in certain airports in 2024. I have a 3090 card and was on the latest graphics drivers. I've done clean install of 566.36 a via DDU to see if it was a driver issue, but I'm still getting the artifacts. I don't use DLSS or frame gen, I've also cleared out the Nvidia cache, and the scenery indexes in 2024 to see if that helps. Does anyone have any idea's what may be causing these glitches? Thanks.
