I didnt think I would completely abandon 2020 - but after SU4 I find it hard to want to fly that version. 2024 still isnt perfect - but performance for me is smoother - graphics are a bit better - and I have all the planes I want to fly. And I do love how much faster it loads then 2020. It does feel like I may have taken my last flight on 2020 - a year late but better then never.

Always seems to be the case with these updates from my experience - at first when a new SU is in Beta its "Best Performance ever" - then as issue fixes and other updates come into the Beta it slowly gets worse. Still better than no updates but never seems quite the same for first Beta release to final Prod release.

I have grown to appreciate some of the improved aspects of 2024 - I wish it had been released in this state - but thats water under the bridge at this point. I do look forward to SU4 as I am still not happy with the stutters I get more often then not (turning at large airports) - which may or may not be improved in the release. Still bounce back and forth from 2020 - but sometimes I am in 2020 wishing i was in 2024.

Unfortunately for me its so hit and miss with 2024 (not that its hugely different in 2020). Some days the PG is phenomenal and as crisp and clear as its ever been....then days like this AM into JFK where it was horrible. Nothing changes on my end so its server related and how much it can serve to me...its just frustrating its not stable.

Hello lightning my old friend - its good to see you again......First flight and into a raging thunderstorm in Malpensa.....

Hopefully SU3 will be where initial release should have been closer too.....SU2 certainly for me is another step up and looking forward to the next one. Might be close enough to get me off 2020 at that point (I do fly 2024 about 30% of the time - even in the not so great state I do have good flights every once in awhile for me to fly 2024).

Just saw this posted on FB "Support Update We can confirm that there is an issue in City Update 10 with Dallas and Honolulu not having the updated TIN (photogrammetry) data in the current live build of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. We are working towards a resolution targeted for tomorrow. Other TIN cities included in the City Update are displaying properly. Players on Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) and participating in the 2024 Sim Update 2 beta are not affected by this issue."

Correct - seems a bit strange I have to go and enable after its available - just have to keep that in mind moving forward with 2024

Well thats a new one I havent heard of yet - I noticed it didnt specify PC version (not steam) but it looks like its the same as the xbox app location. I wonder if its smoke or if it actually does anything.

I have found then when this happens I reboot and I can get in the next time without issue (Actually happened this am) - however my flight is very stuttery. I have to go in and clear all Nvidia caches and things get back to decent performance. This never happens with 2020 which I why I still fly with both for now

Since the update it does seem I get more stutters then I was seeing pre update....despite promises of better performance I seem to be in the other camp...more performance issue.

I dont see any difference between 2020 and 2024...the stutter issues continue. There are promised VRAM updates in SU2 which I hope will bring the promised performance improvements.

Me too - all greyed out....tried everything but they stayed grey for me. Just used DLSS Swapper for now.

For me after quite a bit setup from in my opinion and not very intuitive setup process for 2024 I definitely see the potential. Many many silly bugs and things that should have had optional settings so users can decide (for example forced historical weather)....but I am now 50/50 flying between 2020 and 2024 and I can see switching over in a SU or 2 to being fully on 2024.

Increasing the cache has helped with smoothness overall for me in 2024 - I went for 64g from 16g to start just to see and there is some improvement. Might go a bit higher but I really dont want to over do it. And agreed I hate being back in test setting and play mode - which I was hoping to avoid as I no longer have the patience for that stuff - I just want to fly.......
