Just tried on laptop on my lunch set VPN to USA and got in straight away.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 announced.

- Start date
Once you hit fly it should be just a few seconds.
It took me three attempts this morning.

Glad I didn't take any time off to play this week, what a joke of a launch!

Ok cheers. I think I'll give up for now.

probably a stupid question, is that manually curated content or was the AI able to piece that together from the satellite data?Just tried on laptop on my lunch set VPN to USA and got in straight away.

This is exactly where I'm at now. Spinning circle but negligible network activity in task manager so it's not even downloading anything.
Edit: Esc key still works, so it's possible to cancel and try again without actually quitting. Not that doing so seems to help.

Sorry, don't know. Only had 15 mins to test so did a quick free play from Barton airport.

Pretty sure it's been created, the AI is nowhere near that good
OK im a noob pilot in fairness , i played MSFS2020 for a month or two on release but i really needed some sort of missions structure like career mode hence the inclusion this time is very interesting.
I had forgotten all i learned back then so got stuck into training modes at career start but really struggling with Hotas sensitivity.
Its super sensitive with rudder inputs in particular while in flight but not too bad on the ground, its just jerky as hell if you understand.
Ive tried many sensitivity settings and still the same, anyone else having issues?

Got in.
Initial bindings and settings in place.
As you do, of course I tried flying over where I live. Initial thoughts:
- It works (eventually). Binding process is easier
- Recognised all of my USB devices, that's cool
- Plenty of options, though some are not that well explained
- In VR, 7800x3d and 3080ti, was getting just over 30fps, which sounds pap, but was actually fairly smooth, certainly better than 2020
- I was somewhat confused about where the bottleneck was. Task manager was showing all CPU cores in use, probably around 30%. GPU was around 80%. I tried playing with some settings, but even if I pushed the frame rate down to 10fps, none of the CPU cores or GPU was showing maxed out
- Visuals definitely better than 2020. However, still has oddities. e.g. my current settings for trees, made some look awful, whilst others were fine. Buildings don't look as melted, but the textures applied to many are distorted, such that a normal UK house from any distance looked more like it had a thatched roof
- FFB had some feedback, though a lot more testing to be done
- and then it crashed whilst I was trying to play with the visual settings

Managed to start it on the SX. Menus are really sluggish but managed a free-flight and it performs and looks exactly the same with the exception of the photogrammetry or perhaps the streaming was not working. Performed the obligatory flight over home and the roads and streets seem to have generic building placeholder assets. On the SX, the only graphical setting seems to be HDR on/off and although the there is a sub-menu entitled advanced, there is nothing in there to select or change and instead are the words "experimental".

Manual, it’s from the first UK world update for MSFS 2020
The auto gen tech is still trash and makes every non photogrammetry town/city look the same (ie: very crap)

Once your hitting 30 in a flight sim your golden tbh.
Im running it maxed out with raytracing etc 1440P 45 fps minimum in huge cities , going from native to DLSS quiality gives a lovely fps boost 70 fps in New York.
Im finding performance superb 7800X3D RTX4070.
Just got my first career license and about to take on my first job - career mode looks very impressive and exactly what i missed from FS2020.

Seems to be running better now but still getting odd graphic glitches with the plane and I don't seem to have any plane sound!
Menu sound, etc works fine but no sounds in flight at all

Wow, those graphics giving X-Plane 11 a serious run for its money there!Managed to get in and this was the result; I didn't realise Morph riding an invisible magic carpet was a plane option
I use the Standard Edition through Gamepass and it says Deluxe is £99.99, Premium Deluxe £129.99 and Aviator £199.99.
