Thanks! At long last ….

Hong Kong server seems good so far - but don't y'all jump on until I finish my flight :-))

Same in UK now; MSFS 2024 SU6 beta

No not here. Just installed SU6b and did a flight LSGG EGPE in the Fenix A320. All call outs working fine as well as switch sounds. Seems smoother and looks really nice - especially coming in over the Cairngorms, beautiful.

Got both. Both are great. Main difference is where and how far you fly. A320 is short to medium haul, 777 is medium to long. That’s the main difference. You can find many informative reviews on YouTube. Just like in the real world I guess it’s horses for courses.

Hi Joe Thanks for asking. Yes it’s certainly resolved since then. There was a workaround but I can’t remember exactly how I did it. I think given it was a year ago it may have been in MSFS2020. I’m now on MSFS2024 with the latest version and it’s all good now.

Yes, I'd agree with this view. Cloudscapes seem to be both realistic looking and convincingly thick and dangerous now in bad weather. Not saying it's perfect yet, but it's defintiely coming on. Finding the sweet spot in MSFS 2024 can be challenging, but it is always good to consider what it is about our system and set up that could be contributing when stuff doesn't work properly. In mu experience it has always proven to be at least partly me. If it's a genuine bug you'll get to know about it pretty quickly on this or other forums.

I upgraded from the 32Gb I had last year for 2020 to 64Gb for my new 2024 setup. I don’t regret it one bit but there some things to be aware of - apart from the price! I bought my original 32Gb RAM for £150. The extra RAM cost £320! However there are still issues to be aware of when you install 4x16Gb DIMMS. Not sure whether this applies to all motherboards, but on my Gigabyte Aero z790, I can’t run 64Gb with XMP1 at 6000MHz with CL30 timings, bc it becomes unstable. I’ve got mine running now with XMP2 with CL40 at 5600MHz. i would start by staying with 32Gb assuming they are 2x16Gb. Unless you’re already running 4k… then that might not be enough. There’s loads of optimisations you can do now esp with SU5 that will definitely help. Anyway good luck with it, hope this helps.

That's amazing, thanks! Now - what about a proper version of Alaska, fjords, islands, upgraded airports, bears etc? (obviously accurate terrain and imagery rather than cities...)? Parts of it aren't that bad but others are pretty poor.

I’ve had 2024 since mid last year with PMDG 737 and 777-200s. The the only CTDs I ever had were to do with dodgy addons. Particularly ports over from 2020. Otherwise it seems much more stable than 2020. I’d start by removing all Community items and see if it still happens. That often helps or at least rules things out. good luck…

Any help please? I too liked the E-jets in 2020 but missed VNAV. So I was pleased to see it now supposedly works in 2024. I just installed the Experimental version into 2024 and already loaded and then rebooted the sim. I just spawned at an airport for a flight and switched everything on whilst performing a start up at the gate on GPU. I calibrated my throttle and imported a Simbrief flightplan, which seemed all fine. However, the only thing that refused to work was the Honeywell FMCs. What ever I did they remained blank and inactive. I tried spawning on a runway ready for take off and what ever I did, the FMCs remained blank. My understanding is once you power up the plane the FMCs should come on automatically. Since FSS have refused to provide support for this version, Avsim is the only place I can go to. Has anyone else had this problem, or is it something I've been doing wrong? Thanks for any help and much appreciated if anyone can.

Hi, I have Orbx EU GB North & South. They work fine. If you look in the 2024 tab of Orbx Central, it should list it there if you bought it for 2020. If not go to the Regions entry in the Store and it should let you install it from there instead. *Note - not all your 2020 products willbe listed yet in your 2024 'My Products' section, so worth checking. Bear in mind though that those products may not be fully compatible with 2024 yet. Hope this helps.

Yeah and when I was thinking about an extra 32Gb RAM! 🤬

Looks really nice. Getting a bit better in MSFS24 as well. Problem is these I assume are static presets in a single region. Doing this globally with live weather (seamlessly integrated with airport METATRs) would be a whole level more difficult and more complex.

I’m on 2024 and in UK. Finally got a nice flight in this afternoon.
