I am so glad that I have game pass, and I get the standard edition at no additional costs. I was contemplating whether to buy the higher tier but felt something was going to be disastrous. So glad I made the call!
@Micah-o3w from what i've seen when I finally did manage to get in, 2020 still looks much nicer. Something just looks off in 2024, I think its a combination of the color grading and the textures. It just looks low res and washed out
Spent the whole day waiting on the que screen, twice it started to load but crashed so I gave up, $291.91 Canadian and couldn’t even get it down loaded. Huge disappointment
I don’t think anybody surprised that what’s going on is going on. I don’t know why they didn’t let anybody pre-download the game or release it based on time zones. Dumping at all at once obviously was going to be a huge issue, but I’m a little surprisedIt’s as bad as it is.
I reside in Spain, I started downloading at 10:00 AM, completed, 4.00 PM the following day! All went well, got airborne. The next day received my first update to ms2024. After that all has broken loose! MFD and other displays missing, Totally blank!, Then stuck at Malaga airport. Selected the 737 and LAX, the system loads up on the world view over the west coast of USA, the revolves to Spain, and viola!, I am back in Malaga in an Airbus 321! Highly peeved, and not impressed!
When was that - just wondering if a fresh download (suggested by some simmers) might solve things. The full program is only 11GB on PC, and a reinstall is quick, depending of course on your own servers download speed, and then what MS are providing.
when i go to fly i click fly now and wait ages to even be able to fly my plane I'm just staring at the birds eye view of the map for ages and I given up waiting on some as it just never started.
Tried to download it on gamepass, gave up and got a refund as it was the only game I was interested in. Will try again in a few months perhaps, it was the same with MSFS 2020.
Hot take, The graphics on this game are actually kinda disgusting on Xbox especially with HEAPS of pop in for objects...I got in once and my plane was well clipped into a wall with everything still loading as I taxi (300mbps...) I wish they would add a option to download the content even if it's 200gb 😭🙏
I have literally no idea why they didn't allow us to preload. This happens with SO many big titles. Launch day no one can download it, the pre load wasn't actually a preload. What is the point of offering a preload if they don't just give us an encrypted earlier version of the game to update from. This would have saved most of the day one issues.
I'm amazed at how many people are surprised by how bad the launch was. I had every intention on preordering last week until I saw preinstalling the game was not going to be allowed. I noped right out of that. Millions of people downloading the game at the same time was a recipe for a nightmare. And I was right.
Agree very disappointed at the download going completely awry, then to cap it all when you do get in you do not have all the aircraft available, that we have purchased. Seems we will have to wait for the servers to be sorted before we get what is due and what was promised.
If you’re going to charge $70 for a base game, I don’t care if there’s not more content than a $60 game. I just want it to fucking work, no strings attached. If it has any bugs that fuck up its functionality, don’t charge a premium price for it. Imagine buying a real plane for 10s of thousands of dollars and having the prop shit out on you mid-flight and all the manufacturer has to say for themselves is, “oopsie! We didn’t see this coming even though this exact same thing happened with our last model because we made the same mistakes!”
Can any one help me, so frustrated .. just received download of MSFS 2024 and when it finishes the first part of download the sreen appears and i get this message ....cannot start or run due to incompatibility with64 bit versions of windows ...... Anybody got some advice.. Thanks
The standard edition takes like an hour to unpack as well with ryzen 9 5950x processor, i'm here going wtf? I'm downloading Diablo IV at 110 mb/s and its fastly outpacing MFS
horrible launch day 9 HOURS until i could play the POS. and then even then my impressions were meh. graphics are nice but more pop in. sluggish on my pc 2020 ran much better NO ai piloting options, trees have weird shadow issues overall i think 2020 is better.
This was a very bad idea to make it cloud based. I wonder how they're going to get rid of the queuing issue. Microsoft over hyped it and under delivered
Excuse my ignorance can you advise whether you are limited to using the airports in the version you buy or is it just that these are just more detailed airports Thanks
So you have plenty of aircraft and airports in msfs2024 - these come as standard, and some are handcrafted I believe, 'more than 150 airports, 2,000 glider airports, 10,000 heliports, 2,000 points of interest, and 900 oil rigs have been carefully hand-crafted while a procedural system generates all 40,000 airports, 80,000 helipads, 1.5 billion buildings, and nearly 3 trillion trees our planet.' when I type this in google. The other editions offer more. Some are an update on previous aircraft in MSFS2020. YOu are limited to these aircraft and airports - some of which will already be plenty detailed, but the Marketplace and other third-party providers will give you the option of buying additional content. That is the way that I work. Hope that helps
People still thinking you can play right away😂 Dont be naive.. I got in the menu within 15 minutes. Couldnt fly tough.. Just tried it and its ok now. Just some updates within 2 weeks and its ok.
.. But we should not be having to make allowances and plan in delays because Microsoft with all of its resources cannot make adequate preparations in advance.
Patience, Doc, patients. Pardon the pun. You'll remember how many times the community has been through the new update then server overload syndrome? It will pass (Pardon my second pun).
Imagine stress testing their slop for servers on the day of release and not during a beta phase lmao. Career mode is just as bad with its long load times
it's even worse once you actually get in the game. runways and taxi ways rarely load. so you're left with rough terrain in airports. the game will be constantly stuck on loading screens. you'll have to restart a lot so get used to that video at the beginning. the game doesn't seem to run well on series x at all. it's frame rate seems like I'm playing on a game cube.
Yes, I cannot get this to run at all at the moment. Still testing. I cannot even get on a runway. I set out to link with the assets in my community folder, expecting that we might see some instability but heck, there is nothing stable here at all.
Well... atleast I got it for free however I'm really dissapointed because I was ready to buy flight sim stuff. Espacally the heli missions looked really good. I live in a place where you can't get a good internet and honestly I would still rather download 300gb than not even load in. Very dissapointing.
@@skylinegtr96 I know, everyone hit it like a hillbilly on his wife 😂🤣😂 I haven’t lifted a finger yet. I’m going to wait a little bit for the dust to settle down.
Bullshit with growing pains. Its because its cloud based. Internet and servers will always have problems, this shit will not go away. I prefer my software installed on my hard drive to play when, how and where i want, not at mercy of someone else's incompetency and other problems.

cos that will effect the load time

Oh its 100% worth it. But as stated the loading times are atrocious. I've been loading into a mission for about 30 minutes now. @Micah-o3w
What's wrong with having everything installed on the hard drive with today's insane SSD ?
Exactly! I 💯% Agree!
Gave up after 6.5 hours, simply couldn't get on to the server after download to play the game.
Spent the whole day waiting on the que screen, twice it started to load but crashed so I gave up, $291.91 Canadian and couldn’t even get it down loaded. Huge disappointment
The co-pilot’s shirt is wrinkled in this sim (MFS 2024) and not ironed either…
That loading animation is running GPU's pretty hard as well by the sounds of it

Right? Doing this without realizing it would stress the servers seems too stupid. Perhaps they did it intentionally to stress test the servers?

Steam reviews says enough, more than 1700 neg reviews and only 300 pos reviews.

brooooo. I preloaded it yesterday at 4pm when it launched. And I was on 97 percent for god knows how long, and now I cant get passed menu
Same m8

Anyone watching while loading up
Patience, Doc, patients. Pardon the pun. You'll remember how many times the community has been through the new update then server overload syndrome? It will pass (Pardon my second pun).
No excuses. A multi-billion dollar company should be able to figure it out for the SECOND TIME
Don't understand how people just excuse this ! Stop it

What a garbage. I regret so much buying it.
no issues at all
bla bla bla worst than the actual MSFS delay.

Alot of these "growing pains" could have been averted had Asobo had gamers from different regions download at different times 😂😂
