Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 announced.

What are the best of the default airliners to fly in the sim until third party devs migrate? I’m guessing it will either be the A310 or the A320 v.2?

I usually fly the PMDG 737, Fenix A320, TFDi MD11 and have been starting to learn the FBW A380.

I’m away on a work trip at the moment, so won’t be able to try the sim again until I get home tomorrow evening. Hope it’s sorted by then.

No chance this will be fixed by tomorrow evening or even the weekend. It's not hyperbole when I say this is in an alpha state. As for which airliners to try - hard to say, I haven't tried any of them but I would caution you that at least several of the default light aircraft have broken avionics. So it wouldn't surprise me if some of the more complex aircraft are in an even worse state.

Such a shame I was so looking forward

Here's hoping fixed soon but I'm beginning to wonder if the move to the cloud whilst addresses some issues like huge install sizes and just having to keep the server version up to date, is actually fundamentally flawed

It seems a huge amount of data to be streamed so what happens major holidays, new updates etc are we going to have the same issue

Anyone know why so much reliance on cloud like why the planes etc

Tried on Xbox and no better

A400m crashes immediate when start a flight

If you crash or restart a flight completely hangs with controller vibrating

Apparently they only expected 200,000 people and that's why there were so many problems.

To be fair they said they tested it with 200,000 pretend connections. Then presumably thought: "Yeah, that's working fine and it'll manage ok with ten times as many." Followed by lots of Gallic shrugging from 4pm Tues.

Anybody else fondly remember the days when big online games used to get a few days or even weeks of massive stress tests to highlight these issues before release? :D

I remember buying boxed games from computer shows, complete with maps. manuals, medals, other assorted goodies, and they worked out of the (literal box), they had to, no internet then!
 
Have to admit working much better now than earlier have been in 2 flighta with no issues seems to have better chance of loading etc if pick a simpler plane
