imagine a world where they gave everyone who had 2020 a free equivalent copy of 2024 and only had to focus on updating one version of the sim.

Flight sim 2024 at the moment takes away more joy than it gives. I am too lazy to install 2020 -_-. At this point I just fly less and it's sad.

There's a lot that needs done to the career mode. More aircraft options (C47 for cargo as example), more used options to make expensive aircraft available earlier (think very used cheap but flyable until you fix it little by little), more available missions in the area, a better interface for company info. Options to see actual cost per flight hr for each aircraft etc. So far it's just OK.

To not have those VR bugs fixed in SU_01 is unforgivable. The game is not really playable in VR without these, and they clearly did exactly zero VR testing before release. Absolutely abysmal.

Wow, can’t believe trees are on the list. I think the autogen trees, specifically where they are located, is absolutely incredible and so much better than 2020. Literally one of the most notable improvements in the sim for me.

[DrSid]

Wait .. these are all from the forums. Does it mean they do no testing on their own ? That bugs I don't report, or don't get enough votes, are simply not fixed ?

I noticed the lack of rain on the windscreen. Flying in heavy rain you get nothing, which was a bit disappointing when I wanted to see if the wipers actually wiped.

[MikeAzul]

i’ve been waiting patiently for further updates :) Can’t wait to experience it all in VR

I'm surprised that photogrammetry trees (and some boats at piers) fixes are not mentioned. It's a total dumpster fire for me that everywhere I look, the photogrammetry trees are blocks of deformed shapes. I have a high end system (4090, 14900K at 5.5GHz, 64Gb of high performance RAM, 1.3GB/s download speed and live 100 miles from Seattle) yet most airports are disappointing due to the photogrammetry trees. Doesn't matter where in the country I go. I notice it in a lot of YouTuber videos as well so I know other people have the same problem.

Would love to see even more varied cloud types! Tall cumulonimbus please

[RAFASOP]

Shetland Isles in UK are covered with trees and you could count the actual number on two hands.

[ijazthegreat]

They hedged their bets and threw everything at the console market partially disregarding the PC market that had brought them some success. No one with a gaming rig cares about a cloud pc type experience

[danilooliveira]

while the game is playable right now, even in VR surprisingly. it will take a LOT of work for the game to meet its potential. so I'll patiently wait until they work on everything, and maybe by the end of the year we will be able to safely say the game is good.

[samuelm]

they also need to fix the mouse free look problem for xbox

[davidrenton]

the problem with 2 many trees, is the career tasks you with a helo rescue mission and it's not possible to land anywhere near the person, even with the land and get out of the helo and walk to them

[SkeletonPirate]

Shared Cockpit has got to be in VR as well! Don't let it get thrown to the wayside!

[ArtificialExperience]

Memory issues in 24 are huge right now. Had the sim crash several times in VR mode switching aircraft to aircraft. Can’t wait for marketplace to open…soon?

[surfercharliel]

7:51 yes. It was advertised to be able to be played share.

Asobo proving yet again they were never on pair to keep this beloved franchise. One would think they would learn from FS2020, but nope. We are part of a beta again.

[Yonada]

I fly basically exclusively in VR, and I am experiencing a fair amount of bugs that aren't even mentioned here. Perhaps most importantly: The EFB is completely unclickable in VR. You can open it, but can't interact with it.
