Latest update had a massive performance boost. In my opinion, 2024 is now in a better place than 2020.
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 announced.

I played this at launch on game pass PC , really liked the career mode and got about 20 hours progress in the mode so i decided to buy it on game pass but 2 days later my account got hacked and ive never got it back despite a year of interactions with MS.
The net result is i havent played the sim since but im wondering what the career mode is like now?

Su4 installed earlier this evening.
And...wow. What a difference.
Yes, I had to redo my settings, but it was definitely worth the effort.
I fly in VR, so the frame rate is never going above 100fps. The question has always been how to balance detail/visuals against a frame rate that might have big drops.
Previously, it looked fine at altitude, but low down, what a mess. Photogrammetry was worse than having it disabled, buildings looked melted and it still stuttered in cities. That's with a 5080/7800x3d.
Now, I was able to put the buildings to high and enable Photogrammetry. London actually looked like London, whilst maintaining a respectable frame rate, with very few stutters.
Great job by Asobo.

SU4 is what the V1.0 game should've been at release. I've not flown on either 2020 or 2024 for about 6 months (thanks LMU) but after a fresh Windows 11 install and trying out SU4 I can safely say that I'm happily moving over to 2024. Still got to get the settings right and addons but as non-vr user I'm impressed. Will try out my Quest 2 once I can find a good guide to setting it up.
Just been for a flight down the coast of Morocco in a P38, nice.
I also noticed the Stranger Things freebie. Not that I care about the tie-in, but it does include a free Huey, which I love flying in DCS.
Took it for a flight over New York. Yep, massively better than it was. However, still far from perfect. The Huey flies like it's on rails. Just massively too "easy", and yes I have all the aids disabled.
The city still suffered from areas that look like they'd been hit by a Hurricane. The carrier USS Kittyhawk (?) is birthed on the west side of Manhattan. That look like it had taken a hit from an exocet.
