Do we have a CPU shootout coming? With hyper threading now, i'm curios if the sim benefits more from 3DVcache or more cores a 7800x3d vs 9800x3d vs 7900x vs 14900 would be amazing. Would be expensive for you, but very helpful.
Great video Mark. Telling us what we really need to know as ever. I have put in a new SSD drive for this and feel very pleased about that. I’ll run the two versions side by side initially until 2024 is sorted out then delete 2020. Can’t see the point of running both. I’ll wait a few days to download, no point joining a stampede. The new game looks great and I’m really hoping it’s going to open a new chapter. I’ve learnt a lot from 4 years playing 2020, and I’m going to try not to make the same mistakes twice!
I got a new 4TB NVME specifically for MSFS 2024. Going to keep 2024 separate and download and store locally as much as the drive can hold of my most common flying locations.
So many complaints……we must keep in mind a huge part of the world is trying to download this at the same time. Perhaps Microsoft could have staggered the downloads to lessen problems. I do believe you can choose to download more content and store it on your drives. Keep in mind it would be wise to wait a few days till the servers can catch their breath. A sim this popular and this size can expect issued both in downloading and bugs.
Very timely video, Mark. Some very useful tips for me - I've implemented these, but I'm not starting my download til later. I'd forgotten about upgrading my graphics card software, and this led me to making several other performance related changes, so hopefully, all will go well. Thanks again.
Alert. I was on MSFS2020 this morning flying GA between Oxford and Southampton. I looked out of the left window and there was a patch of scenery blank. Not very big, but I'll bet it'll get more often. Much like OrbX was when it didn't have the file. Crafty MS. I will give them the benefit of the doubt, but if it persists, I'll be grossly disturbed by the tactic. I am going to watch YT vids for two weeks or so before making a dicision.
If i used two M.2 drives, the 2nd drive would be sharing bandwidth with my 4080 super; thus, my plan was to put everything on a 4TB Samsung 990 Pro M.2 NVME drive. That would put 2020 and 2024 on the same drive. What kind of problems can occur since they are two separate programs with only one loading at a time?? Great video Mark!!
The game is absolutely BROKEN Before it starts ,day 1 Release what a joke ,I have a video in my phone where the game is having a serious meltdown ,Xbox screen goes black then game flashes in and out ,it’s the worse release date game ,this ain’t No Joke ,The game is seriously Broken
Yes… its having issues. So many people are trying to download and play it at the same time. Itll get ironed out, Asobo just didnt know their servers would be this packed, they underestimated how popular the game was going to be. Im on series x as well and i finally got it to play and its working pretty good now… only issues im having now is the textures not streaming fast enough but im sure that issue will resolve itself in like a day or 2

First, I really enjoy watch your videos they are very informative. Been watching a lot of them the last two month as I returning to flight sim after 15 years Last SIm I had was FXS. Just Build a new system for MSFS 2024 and bought the Honeycomb Alpha & Bravo received them on the 15 of November. just in time for MSFS. I would really like to know if you will update the Honeycomb setup video for MSFS. As I not great at this. MSFS 2024 is on a designated NVMe drive Windows 11 on the 1TB NVMe C:Drive MSFS on the! 1TB NVMe D: Drive I have a third NVMe E: Drive for regular files. It would be a great help to all of us. And do you know if Aerosoft will update ther driver for the Lights on The Bravo, Thank for all your hard work.
Mine won’t install beyond 97% which it has stopped at for literally hours. I have bought mine on the Microsoft Marketplace on my Xbox Series X and used a freshly formatted empty 1Gb clean external Storage card.
@@TonyGator78 The game is broken ,Microsoft know about it ,loads of people can’t access the game ,constantly crashing on loading screen then kicked back to Home Screen ,also Low bandwidth issues are plaguing systems ,it won’t be fixed anytime soon that’s for sure
UPDATE: So after waiting until 10pm GMT last night I tried to start over only to find I was “in a queue because of large demand on the servers. Wait or try again later”…….so I left it in the queue and went to bed. This morning it had all installed and ran okay. All my previous add-ons were there and will run it in full later.
Why does the game crash when I use Pico Link with link cable but it works wirelessly with virtual desktop. I want to play this game using a cable for better performance at higher resolution.
I would like to install MSFS on a separate driver. I did not preorder. So I go to Microsoft store and buy MSFS2024 and then I install that through Xbox app in the driver I want. Am I correct?
I have a problem. I downloaded the game on my series s via game pass ultimate. It turns out the quality is shit and i dont know how to instal it fully like i did with msfs 2020😢
Hi Mark,, following you for years, can you help me on this.. just downloaded my Basic version of MSFS 2024 Problem is when the first part is downloaded and i get the install screen with the plane in the field i get this message .. ...... cannot start or run due to incompatibility with 64 bit of windows ..... If you have an answer i would appreciate as i know i am not alone, thanks, Raymond
Not sure. Have you seen this answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/ms-flight-simulator-2024windows-11-64-bit/d9f353fe-c41e-4e31-b418-ed1041a7f09f
Thanks for the timely info. My pre-install went to the wrong folder as I wasn’t given a choice.is there any way I can move it? Like you I want to put 2024 on a separate drive. Copying and pasting doesn’t seem to work.
Thanks for replying. As I understand it, the file in question, Limitless, is some sort of install assistance for the main event. It was placed in my MSFS 2020 folder by default because I have not used XboxGames folder for my original 2020 installation. As I cannot seem to be able to do anything with this file, I assume when I trigger the installation of 2024 through the Microsoft Store I will be given the usual options of where to put it? Anyhow I will wait until the chaos has subsided before I see if that is the way to go. As an aside, I have my community folder and cache folders as desktop shortcuts. It’s much easier to deal with them that way.

4K allocation of your SSD drive also increases the read and write time
I picked the right time to spend a few weeks playing God of War Ragnarok untill the dust settles
👍👍👍👍👍
The best pre-install recommendation is to pretend it comes out in a week. Then hopefully you will actually be able to login.
Difficult to argue that point right now!

Just uninstall 2024 and redo the install. (Before release). No damage done.
The Windows Store is notorious for being unmanageable like this. I wouldn't wish it in my worst enemy. Always buy on STEAM when given the choice.
