there is nowt for me

I agree Iain. Always pleased to see a sim evolve, but seems to me that this is about the X box gamers. That's fine. don't begrudge them their enjoyment. I'd like to see them get a simple VFR or IFR flight right. But of course cash is King.

After yesterday's seminar from Jorg and Seb, I don't know how people can continue to believe it's "about the Xbox gamers."

 

MS has updated their FAQ regarding several points of contention and concern surrounding MSFS2024. A few key points from a much larger post, relevant to many hardcore flight simmers (my emphasis below) :

Will there be improvements to the core simulator technology in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024? 


The development team is improving almost every aspect of the simulator. Some examples include: 

    • Improved multithreading to improve performance 
    • Faster download, load, and installation speeds 
    • Improved aerodynamics and physics simulation 
    • Improved aircraft systems including electrical, pneumatic, fuel, and hydraulics 
    • New failure and wear & tear system 
    • Deeper and wider avionics systems
    • Cockpit tablet available by default

I know this is marketing, however following clarifications and dispelling of gossip, I'm now cautiously optimistic about what the new sim will bring for both flight simmers and 'Xbox gamers'.

We can see how much of an impact MSFS has had on our hobby - it has the lion’s share of users & sales right now,

 

also fully supported,

 

unfortunately, P3D developers are abandoning that P3D platform in droves,

 

it has become clear how much of a game changer MSFS 2024 will be - its impact is being felt now,

 

& a bonus that it will have advanced technology that will work well on both PC & Xbox,

 

a winning formula! :)
