Hi, just wanted to ask if we are required to upgrade our game version to Premium Deluxe if we get the game on game pass, or is it already included and we don’t have to pay any further? Thanks for the vid!
Thanks I should have mentioned that, The Standard Edition is available with Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. Aircraft in the higher tier versions will only be available for individual purchase
The last sim I flew was Flight Simulator X and it was a ton of fun. My daughter flies a lot, I used to program her exact flight then go to ATC Live and could pickup the real live ATC audio and add to my video. This is the best How To Get Started Video I've seen as far purchasing and the setup, very thorough explanation. Now if I only had a good PC I'd come back here watching these instructions again. Very well done RealSimGer
Live ATC is awesome. Nowadays I use PilotEdge to talk to people. There is a new AI ATC thing for sims that I heard is pretty sweet, ayIntentons.AI. I haven't checked it out yet but my friends have told me it's insanely good
Old time sinner ( simmer)... and have PPL since 1979..I am excited to see both MSFS 2020 and 2024...come on the scene I still use MSFS 2002 PROFESIONAL EDITION.(great for training..procedures..etc..). Looking forward to getting MSFS 2024 soon.. GreatVideo!! 🐦 ❤ 5:53
Thanks Chase, really helpful. Will the RealSimGear Cirrus GCU alpha-numeric keyboard, which never worked with MSFS2020, now work with MSFS2024? That would be a real step forward.
I checked and looks like you can't. If you purchase say the deluxe tier, then you would have to purchase each individual aircraft in a higher tier. I'm not sure what those prices are going to be either since the marketplace isn't live yet
Hey Chance, great video. Best I've found on installing 2024 and setting it up. Question, so please tell me what you think of my system to run the best settings and tell me if I need to upgrade my system. So, i have the Gigabyte E670 ice motherboard, AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D CPU, 32gig DDR 5 pc 6400 ram, EVGA GTX 3080 ti video card, Corsair 240mm CPU liquid cooler, 1000W power supply, Samsung Evo 890 2TB M.2 drive. The only thing I think i need to add is another 32gig of memory. But I'll go with what you think i need to upgrade to for me to use ultra settings. Now keep in mind in 2020 even with this setup, i would get plenty of studders especially on approach in the A32NX. Also, last question. I pre purchased 2024 from the Microsoft Store but I have not downloaded it yet or installed it yet as I wanted the bugs to be worked out first. So, i was going to install it after a month or so after release. Please tell me what you think of all this. Thanks
Hey Jim! Thanks for the feedback man! Great PC setup. Like you said another 32gb of ram and I think you'll be good to go. I do wonder how many VRAM gb you have, and what your internet connection is. With all of this being cloud based the internet connection is a must now. And actually even though this is a new game with better graphics, the demand on your PC should be less than 2020. That's because they only load things from the cloud that you actually need / are using. So I'm betting the same appruach in an A32NX will be less laggy than before. Another thing, how many monitors are you running? I notice a drop in frames when trying to run three 4k monitors and that's a graphics card thing
Oh and one more thing that someone from our tech support team mentioned, - "The thing that will hold some performance back on this system is the 3080 Ti, as it will not be able to leverage DLSS 3.0 or Nvidia Frame Gen (which usually doubles the frame rates). That being said, that system will still have a great experience"
I got the aviators edition to get all the airports, having all the aircraft was just a bonus in my decision, thanks for the helpful video, new subscriber.
I have the premium deluxe for MSFS 2020, and i'm leaning towards purchasing the Aviator edition for 2024. One question, I heard a rumor from someone in a Facebook group saying it is recommended to buy MSFS 2024 from the same place you purchased MSFS 2020 for addons to easily transfer. Can you confirm if that is true? I purchased MSFS 2020 from the Microsoft store and I will likely purchase MSFS 2024 from the same place.
I purchased it from two different places and they are going to transfer just fine. As long as you use the exact same Microsoft account then you will be fine either way
Great informative video, I bought through steam but got stuck after the initial download of 11 gigabytes. Then I applied for a refund. After seing now how to proceed I might consider buying again through steam as before. Why is it only 11 and not 50 giga as supposed? STEAM SHOULD RECONSIDER THE INSTALLATION PROCES, TOO CUMBERSOME.
So it's only 11gb because the game is all cloud based now. It's loads in the aircraft and scenary only when you need it which removes demand off of the system.
The Turtle Beach VelocityOne Universal Rudder Pedals do not work on the Xbox when i tryed them. not sure if they work on pc do to i had to send my asus motherboard to get fixed.
@ I thought so to but I tried everything to get them to work. I updated the firmware through my other pc I tried to update them through Xbox and I couldn’t update them without failures so once my motherboard comes through, I’ll just play it on my PC. From what I’ve been hearing online, the game is kind of broken anyway so I’ll wait until they fix it.
Nice walk through except I would have included the steps to move the Community folder. Navigate to the Marketplace and click open My Library. Click on the gear next to Search, browse and select your other drive.
Great video. I bought through Microsoft store. My biggest problem is something you didn’t address and that is accessing the sim and crash to desktop problems. Yesterday the startup process took 48 minutes. Once in I had a CTD after trying out the EFB in the c172. Had to restart and again the startup took 48 minutes. Totally unacceptable. I only have so much time to devote to this.
Sorry Richard that's got to be frustrating. I know a lot of people are experiencing bugs right now too so hopefully they'll expand the servers to make it better for everyone soon
so I like to share my experience with 2024 1. I did purchased 2024 on ms store. installation everything smoodly. sim loading time with 1 gig internet: 25mins 2. graphic. If I use REX AccuSeason Advanced Edition your graphic even will look better than on 2024! 3. performance. both the same. my oppinion: if you own 2020 there is s(still) no reason to switch over to 2024. most things like marketsim or addon aircrafts like pmdg, fenix ie is not possible to transfer it over to 2024 yet. 2024 has been released far to early. there is still a lot of work to do till it will reach level of 2020. I did purchase 2024 (standart) for VFR (VR) and mission only (later who knows) So I recomend if you are 2020 owner, wait for another 3-6 months till everything is rdy to use.
thx for the vid i bought msfs2020 thru steam and i had a choice to where i liked to install it first it installed it on my pc and than when i clicked to run the sim it than asked me where would i liked to install it which was my third drive is this the same as msfs2024 have you got a choice on where you like to have it installed
Hmm, I didn't get a choice. After the initial install you can always move the folder location to your third drive. Hopefully it's a SSD or M.2 SSD so it loads really fast. It's only 11GB this time and not 250 lol
Hey John, yes you can. The process is very similar to MSFS2020. So right alt key and left mouse click. Or you can use pop out manager for 2024. help.realsimgear.com/en/articles/8728724-setting-up-msfs-pop-out-panel-manager
@RealSimGear thanks for the response! So, if I get it on the Xbox, can I use my 65-inch tv to play it instead of a gaming monitor? Also, in your opinion, is this better than X Plane? What specs are required for a PC to play this simulator?
@ like the your G1000 hardware. I have the dual set with the audio control in the center. I’ve been using it for 2020, but have now switched to 2024. I got the message I need to wait for the new drivers.

Thank you very much Larry!
Thanks Chase, really helpful. Will the RealSimGear Cirrus GCU alpha-numeric keyboard, which never worked with MSFS2020, now work with MSFS2024? That would be a real step forward.
The GCU's will be fully compatible with MFS2024 and MFS2020 as we are completely overhauling our device interface for both platforms.
There ya go! 👆
@@AtlanticFlyer That's brilliant. Can you reveal when this will be available? It will make a big difference to usability.
The realsimgear GCU alphanumeric keyboard is working with MSFS 2020, there is a workaround
Is upgrading something we can do as well?
(Purchase regular, upgrade to delux later?)
I checked and looks like you can't. If you purchase say the deluxe tier, then you would have to purchase each individual aircraft in a higher tier. I'm not sure what those prices are going to be either since the marketplace isn't live yet

Nice video! How many major US airports are there in the simulator, and are they model like the real airports and cities?
All of them. and yeah the get crazy into the details. I could literally give an accurate tour of my home airport in the sim
This is a great vid one of the best on the new msfs. keep up the great work and you’ll be at 1 million in no time
1 mil would be insane! Thanks!

Do the graphics look the same on the Xbox vs PC?
Depends on the PC on how far you can push the specs. PC will be better on Ultra imo, but Xbox will still be amazing
@RealSimGear thanks for the response! So, if I get it on the Xbox, can I use my 65-inch tv to play it instead of a gaming monitor? Also, in your opinion, is this better than X Plane? What specs are required for a PC to play this simulator?
does the game also work on a gaming laptop
Yes, i have the hp omen 16

240hz
32 gb ram
And its a beast, the graphics are AMAZING and performance too

Make a video. How to get a refund for Microsoft flight simulator 2024. Thanks.
Lol sorry I'm sure if you simply email their customer support they'll refund you
Go to Steam > Library > MSFS2024 > Support > Click on "It's not what I expected"
Not including the standard 172 in the standard package is criminal😂
Haha I agree
I got the pre buy for the first G1000… no lights 😢
Need the G1000 for my instrument test in the game.
Like our G1000 hardware? Or in the game?
@ like the your G1000 hardware. I have the dual set with the audio control in the center.
I’ve been using it for 2020, but have now switched to 2024.
I got the message I need to wait for the new drivers.
Ah yes we are still working on getting everything up to speed. Shouldn’t be long at all now!
@ would be nice for career mode… everything in the beginning is with the C172 G1000
Heck yeah!
Can you link a real ipad and connect foreflight to MSFS 2024?

I mean, the video is titled accordingly. The goal is to make more content on the game play down the road
I dont buy this games is not work
Anyone having issues with series X | S? When I try to fly any airbus aircraft, the game freezes and crashes.
A lot of users are having similar issues. They are working on fixing it as we speak so hopefully it won't last too long
