These dev streams are perfect. I had absolutely 0 interest in these planes just from the aircraft list, but hearing the devs speak on it stopped me from being a curmudgeon. It's great to see so much thought and heart are going into these.

I never knew these aircraft existed let alone being so awesome using incredible modern tech. The Joby is like new city taxi but with no traffic.

I'm so happy I bought MSFS 2020 on day one. Some bugs were frustrating, but, so are computers It's just amazing to think back to Microsoft FS 1 on my TRS-80 in 1980 and Microsoft FS 1 on my first PC in 1982 and compare them with MSFS2020. I would not have wanted to miss a day.
At 74, I thought I could wait to hear MSFS 2024 had a gold pass from the community before buying as really, 2020 is more than good enough for me.
I've seen too many YouTube videos on 2024 and together with this stream, I'm now just busting to go and pre-order and then count the days until release.
Thank you all for your passion with MSFS 2024 and your projects - you make my life so, so much more enjoyable with so much to look forward to!

Please pay more attention to the helicopters 🙏🏻🙏🏻

I really appreciate these kind of streams. I would probably miss out on some of the awesome aircraft in the Sim just out of habit of using those that I am familiar with. Some like those I have felt that I can’t fly them so this gives me more confidence that I can fly the aircraft.

General question:
Will multi monitor support be improved?
Homecockits with, for example, three 50 inch TVs are very difficult to set up in FS2020 because important settings for the individual screens/cameras are missing.

[seattleraf]

These look like they’ll be awesome for sight seeing in VR. Appreciate the hard work that went into these.

Looking forward to next Wednesday!

I'm personally not interested in these 3 aircrafts. But I hope model matching is working flawlessly so that I at least see them in multiplayer

I noticed 2-3 points that bug me and raise questions:

You can buy your own plane when you have your own company, but;

In career mode, can you fly like in freeroam with YOUR plane, instead of just "fast traveling" via the map to another airport to generate "local missions"?

Example: In career mode: My main airport is in London. Can I literally leave the HQ without launching a mission first and just take my plane in my hangar and fly between London and Paris freely, and only then change my <main> airport to Paris without paying for <fast travel>?

Another example: I am still in career mode, not in free flight mode of course where all the planes in the game are unlocked:

Can I take off my personal plane from my main airport and land it somewhere in the middle of the fields for a stroll in fps mode?
All in a career mod once again, just to take advantage of the wear and tear and the additional costs in "Between 2 missions I take my plane for a ride if I damage it I should repair it" mode (A bit like Beam NG or ETS 2 career mode)

In the same vein, without selecting a mission via the map, is it possible to fly from my main airport to the location of a "local" mission for example "passenger transport" before selecting it and launching it once there? (Typically Beam NG or ETS 2 to get the mission you have to go there)

Or does career mode only work and only under instance? That's a bit of the impression it gives, and it's a shame if that's the case! Afterwards... We don't have the opportunity to have OUR plane so far in the alpha it's always "loaned" planes (once again like ETS2 before buying your truck)

BUT. There is no menu box in HQ that suggests "free flight" :/ So...

What happens if you want to free fly in career mode? With vehicles purchased outside of "free flight" mode, where everything is unlocked in advance?

In short, can I fly freely without starting a mission in career mode? Or can purchased planes only fly in "instance" type missions?

Are we going to see integration of live user voice for ATC and or AI voice ATC in an update module. Can this be done with the new intel chips and of hi end GPU's processing this or is it still to new and we will see it in flight sim 2028? Thanks

[NZASimulations]

Great work Nick and the hard working team. You guys have really worked hard for it.

[madfinntech]

This was interesting. Would watch more of these.

[shinkicker]

I have the Got Friends version of the Jetson already and it is fun to fly, this looks like it will be just as fun to use as well. So pretty keen to give it a whirl! Is there an option to add the safety bars around the outside of the the rotors?

The Joby and Archer look quite interesting to fly as well! Some really fancy flybywire in them. Low level taxi/tourist stuff will be pretty fun in career mode. Dunno about taking them onto Vatsim though, lol... probably get in trouble doing that, but still.

[mfr]

Sometimes I don't know if I see 2020 or 2024 graphically when it flies it's the same

[rontaumelscheibe]

Guys, U R amazing! Thanks for yor fantastic planes!

[data-drifter-vs]

I love these three new aircrafts 😍 and can't wait to get airborne with the fs2024.

[MrSunlander]

will there be an update of the 707? Sunland, California

[FabianoMarques-cqro]

Marwan, good to see you, very nice new products you are on, awesome. Saving money...lol. But what about my LOVED HONDA HJET? Will it be updated or works perfect on fs2024? Best regards!

[brunogt]

vision jet is the most loved plane in the sim.

[percy]

I wish they would build the Phenom 300, the best selling, single pilot, light jet.
