Beats filling up an ICE and beats Porsche Cayenne EV charge record at 14 minutes to full charge. I’m sure my post will get removed since I mentioned the yet to be defined horrific abbreviation “EV” which surely is somehow political or “word not allowed”. I’ve asked for my AVSIM account to be removed, but sadly moderates are only willing to delete my posts under the pretense of whatever they deem “political” but not my account … gotta keep the membership count high for those advertisers. I guess anything could be deemed political … since we do live and operate in a society that is governed. Maybe this one will get Admins attention and they’ll implement my account delete request.

Interesting location, British by origin, but I was born in Karachi circa 1964. Nice video and thanks for sharing.

Speaking of bugs, got the dreaded spinning wheel of infinity when select my TM Boeing Yoke at the controller screen. Only remedy was to shutdown MSFS 2024 and restart.

You really need to make a list of what we can’t mentioned, this is getting silly

Looking to buy, but not in Marketplace, not in Orbx, not in Contrail?? Turns out it's a coming soon product.

Everyone should just move to Vimeo … the advertising revenue from YouTube is pathetic. Content creators get their income from companies that want to expose their products to the world and from selling physical products (merchandise) with their logos etc. This can be accomplished on any platform. Content providers losing YouTube monetization wouldn’t even register as an amount on their financials. Moving to Vimeo provides for complete freedom from YouTube algorithms and constant changing of policy leaving content providers wonder why their videos are not getting any coverage. All that garbage is removed with Vimeo and for larger content providers the cost of Vimeo is negligible at about $900/yr. Content providers can focus on what they want to do and not what the YouTube algorithm tells them to do. And most important, NO viewers have to pay to not see Ads because there are no Ads.

Sure, never said it would not work. My point was that to enjoy the visual benefits MSFS 2024 offers over MSFS 2020, a better GPU will make those benefits (no limitations) available. Otherwise, OP will be very disappointed to see VRAM exceeded messages. Not trying to be elitist, just trying to avoid expectations that might trigger a bad impression of MSFS 2024.

Suggest you browse the Steam discussion groups and MS MSFS official forums to see just how widespread the issue is ... not just a few, many!

I had A LOT of issues with the MS Store version of MSFS 2024. Got a refund, uninstalled, purchased MSFS 2024 thru Steam and it's working well. Data not being saved could be a user/app permissions issue. Where does that data get saved to? Cloud/local?

Cheapest edition you can buy. Go with Steam, more likely to succeed with install. Upgrade your GPU otherwise 2024 might be a pointless test as you'll not be able to achieve better image quality than 2020 with that GPU.

Well ... if this is still Christopher's hardware: Then I can understand why MSFS 2024 might not be so attractive for him ... I've ran MSFS 2024 on low settings and it's definitely worse than MSFS 2020 in that regard. BUT, with sufficient hardware MSFS 2024 can and does look better than MSFS 2020. However, the hardware cost (especially in this era of chest beating insanity from TACO) are definitely a deterrent to the platform. If you look at the sad reality of Steam hardware survey (people are buying nvidia 5060's ... OMG what a pointless expense) a PC to run modern era games/sims at high image quality is pretty staggering ... looking at $5000 min on upwards (just the PC no monitor).

It could be continuation of data stream and doing cache management/processing. P3D/FSX had a similar process of doing a lot of background loading while sitting at the menu/scenario screen. Even on app exit, it could still be doing a lot of cleanup and indexing. Could also be the metric (CPU temp, GPU temp, CPU load, GPU load, chipset temp, etc.) used to drive the fan curves. My corsair iCUE setup drives a lot of fans and every fan can use a different metric to drive their individual curves. What I've noticed with MSFS2024, it's the GPU fans that ramp up so it could be doing a lot of decompression of scenery data (global) while I doddle around contemplating life, the universe, and everything.

Yeah that is possible, but what metric have you used to actually determine that? Load balancing on cluster servers is hard to determine a metric unless you are on MS IT team that monitors.

Ok, so how many fans do you have and which one(s) are “spinning fast until shutdown”? Are you using multiple fan controlling software and/or EFI?

But I’m still paying to not see Ads? $8/mo If you folks haven’t seen recent Black Mirror episode “Common People” … it has a rather dark twist on “Ads” and keeping humans alive: Yes Chris O from the IT crowd.
