I've been in flight simming since 1994 and I have to admit never in my wildest dreams (especially after FSX was discontinued) I could imagine we would have something like that in our computer today.
Same, and with VR… couldn’t have imagined
I started at 1982 ... just back with green lines. One curve to fly took so much time. No chance to land the Cessna in the first week.
Lets see what happens next. My VR headset is on order on the right time.
@@xraycharli sorry, but VR is THE way to experience flight simulation. It's a dream come true if you have the hardware to run it.
Have you done VR yet? I cant wait...
@@stevejones924 VR is incredible if you have the hardare to run it
Shared cockpits all I want! Why me and my bud got the sim they said it will have it but they push it back so far its not even going to be in 2020 now. And now I hear it push back to the end of the line for 2024..... BAH
I hope only they thinks to vr.. 2 actifs controlleurs and a lot of precision for buttons.very difficult adjust altitude and vs in linners. For the moment xplane and aerofly are best.and skin hands for vr.not stupid controlleur. I dont understand devs. They create an incroyable immersion and they put controlleurs skins..very strange..sorry bad english
I need an easier camera change button to map. I want one button to easily switch between all the different camera views. That shouldn't be hard.
I’m with you on this one
@@SimHangerFS Now we just need Asobo/Microsoft to see our plea and make it happen. 🙂
Well I’m excited, don’t understand all the negativity from the man children
Hope it includes flyby view!
Me too!
@@SimHangerFS And a replay mode.
Nice Summary, Mark. Almost every MSFS UA-camr has done a video on this subject, but as usual yours is the best, owing largely to the text slidez that group and enumerate the improvements.
Really hoping for better usability also! I'm pretty savvy with computers but dealing with the intricacies of flight Sim settings can be a real mindbender.
Awesome, really excited. Thanks for the update. Have you heard or read, if there will be an easy way to import keybinds?
Not that I know of
Compatibility with 3rd party addons will be the primary consideration for me as to whether I move over to the new sim. Let me say first that I know its ridiculous, but between airports, aircraft, and other addons Ive spent some $3500 plus. Thats a huge amount. But its what make the sim the most enjoyable to me.
Same, given I purchase all my addons like Airports etcetc direct from the developer I, e Orbx etc etc. I really hope like Mark said it's just drag and drop into new community folder. Time will tell and I'll wait to see if this is true.
Just a slight correction, from an old 12+ year Microsoft/Xbox games developer; multi-core and multi-threading sort of is the same thing. A thread can run on any core. Many cores can run two threads interleaved (hyperthreading). If you're "multithreaded" you are also inherently "multicore". It doesn't make more sense to run more threads than you have cores, although for what's called "embarrassingly parallel" problems it can sometimes still make sense to have more threads than cores active, especially if there are dependencies between them.
do you think 8 cores will be all that is needed until ms2024 end of life?
@@Glider324yes.
Acknowledged, but the reality is that MSFS, just like its predecessor is running using primarily 1 core (often at 100%) and never more than 3. In terms of multitasking efficiency this would help improve the wait cycle overall.
@@SimHangerFS have you watched last ms/asobo twitch, where they actually describe briefly multicore tasking in msfs2020 with graphics showing how it's divided per core? Certainly msfs2020 now is multithreading software and they described that very well.
@@SimHangerFS 100% true. It's got a render thread, a main thread and now an interuptable avionics threads, it seems. It's not very well threaded, building on top of an old single-thread engine. I'm sure they'll be making some architectural improvements, but in an eco-system so deep, so storied, it must be impossible to not break things.
Most engines today basically have a main thread, a render thread and then a thread pool, which the main thread awakens when hitting embarrassingly parallel problems, like animation decompression, pathfinding, (a lot of) AI resolution, asset decompression, graphics buffer building etc. That allows developers to think relatively "single threaded" but still scales up to however many cores the host system has. Of course that is not the state of the MSFS engine, being very old.
The say it's always best to under-promise and over-deliver.
Top of my list is being able to see an aeroplane as it should look, even if you don't own that particular model.
I’m with you on that point!
4:20 improved ground textures and cliffs. I see this already using the new Bing maps instead of the default Bing maps. On the msfs official forum, this mod is not allowed to be discussed. But it is discussed on Avsim threads. It works very well for me and no performance hit. I never fly without it.
Really dislike MSFS distorted wideangle screen. I want my planes to look like they do in real life and not with stoopid unnecessary distortion. Comic sim. Planes don't look real despite all the eye candy.
Great video. I careless about missions.
hope they improve ATC and add helicopter AI traffic
Don’t know why they ignore this. ATC and cloud variation is lacking sorely. I have FSLTL Cessna aircraft just sit in one place all the time. Helicopters can’t be far off 😂
thanks for this great video needed it thanks buddy.
I've been an XPlane user until just recently. I just started using MSFS 2020 and I must say, it's very clunky compared to XPlane. Using a laptop, it takes two hands to make adjustments to headings and radio frequencies. Adjustments only last a few seconds, then you have to start over. Flight characteristics are not realistic, and searching the menus is very difficult. The graphics, weather, and some other things are fantastic. But from the prospective of a real pilot, MSFS is more like a game. Hopefully, the new version will be better.
FLIGHT MODEL QUESTION: Most YT channels that compare the MSFS and X-Plane platforms don't do a proper job of demonstrating various critical maneuvers. Try the cross control / base to final / too low - too slow maneuver. This is a critical maneuver that has been removed from PPL Skill Set. CFI's only demo this pilot killer at altitude. Student pilots don't have to demonstrate this to their CFI or to the Checkride DPE. No one remembers Asobo's DIRECT ASSURANCE during the by private invitation only, Global Preview Event that MSFS's thousand points on the wing flight model will properly have the C172 spin in. A broken promise.
Hi Mark. First off, thank you for all the great content you post to UA-cam. I'm a newbie to MSFS and your page, and I just purchased the HC Alpha/bravo combo with TM rudder pedals, all set in a Next Level Racing FS Cockpit. I'm just learning how to navigate thru the MSFS program, and learning, bit by bit, what types of setup changes I need to make in my Assistance and controller Options in order for it to work as I'd like for the sim flying I want to do. I'm wondering if I could pick your brain on a few questions that I have. Just so you have an idea of my experience level, I'm a pilot with Commercial, Multi-engine and Instrument ratings with about 520 total hours, but I haven't sat in the left seat in about 30 years. So I'm familiar with cockpit operations, but to say the least, my skills have diminished considerably. Anyway, that's my background, but I was hoping you might be able to help me with some questions I have concerning my Honeycomb hardware and the MSFS software.
Hopefully a huge ATC improvement as well
Prior to 2020, they said virtually all PC add-ons will come to Xbox if the 3rd party devs wanted them to. It took them 4 years to work through technical issues (ongoing, many solved by 3P devs themselves), there is no freeware in the marketplace, and loads of payware devs have been waiting years for approval to be in the marketplace ‘club’. Never take their word at face value…
Virtually all will turn to some will turn to finger pointing between MS, Asobo, and 3P which will turn toward demanding you pay more money.
I am still unclear about whether I will need to buy Gamepass on PC. At present I don't (but had to on XBOX if wanted to use. multiplayer - indeed that was one of the reasons I switched to PC). I don't want or need to have access to any games; all I need is a good flight simulator. If I have to buy a Gamepass for 2024 on PC, it means that I will be subsidising those who want to be 'masters of none'. I have a feeling that all of the hype about improvements is 'smoke and mirrors to mask a switch to more profitable subsctiption-based business model. which at a stoke removes a significant proportion of the 'capital' value of my current MSFS2020 purchase with increased annual cost to boot.
Good summary Mark. Any info on improved ATC in MSFS 2024?
Nothing out yet on that subject.
Microsoft know there are more gamers than flight simmers and want to take advantage of this, it failed before with Microsoft flight. Gamers complain that there is nothing to do in MSFS 2020 but fly about, they want missions. Sadly it's all about chasing the money nowadays.
I think they are going for a separate Xbox console software package. Nothing if very few changes for real flight sim PC users.
with the move to a more cloud based model, what happens with those of us without access to high speed internet, and photogammetry at the moment for me is so ugly I've turned it off. Will new better servers be provided to support this new cloud model with higher response (I have a 58ms ping to the SE Asian server as Australian apparently doesnt rate its own local server)
There are rumors that msfs 2024 will come without a community folder, is this true?
Well covered Sir! 👏
Appreciate the info Mark 👍
GA traffic would be great too.
I only hope that they do not do this at the expense of msfs2020
Eye tracking/Dynamic Foveated Rendering support with Quad Views would be amazing. Unfortunately from what I'm reading I'm not holding out much hope, but you never know I guess 🤞.
Addon compatibility is the biggest question for alot of folks right now. To date, Asobo has yet to commit to confirming if MSFS 2020 addons will work in FS24 but only saying they “should” work. I’ve invested too much in MSFS2020 and I can’t justify leaving it all behind. Hard pass for me
I’m beyond apprehensive, especially when I hear anything along the lines of “due to limitations of the Xbox”. If they hold back PC because they want feature and performance parity, we’re far down the road of gamification. I hope like hell to be wrong, but the alarm bells clanging “Flightsim the RPG” just won’t stop.
Will it have a reply function?
I feel so fortunate to have been able to enjoy MSFS2020 and was surprised that Microsoft decided to generate an even better product after 4 years, but wow MSFS 2024 promises to be even more enjoyable. Thank you for your informative summary of what is to come. The wait will be several months, but we have a great simulator to continue enjoying during that time.
I hope there is an aileron trim reset command to assign. There is already in MSFS2020 a rudder trim reset command, but not aileron trim reset command.
Also in the Options | General page there is no universal search box for commands. It only allows searching the small part of the options that you are currently looking at. The exact command you need can be hidden way down the menu and searching won't find it. This is only on the General window, not the Controls window.
your brilliant sir thank you
Flyby view please (one-click, NOT with drone)
What has happened to the cockpit builders. I bought 2020 on the expectation that I could integrate it with my cockpit build. I wasn’t able to remove or move around parts of the aeroplane to achieve this as per X-Plane. I’m still waiting on that promise from ASOBO…. Will this be integrated into the 2024 version? I hope so….
the hell you say, mu buddy has 737 home cockpit for tens of thousands of dollars and it works super well with msfs2020, he has also another cockpit with GA1000 panels for GA planes, also works very well.
The only thing I wonder about this new 2024 Flight SIM game is how well is it going to be to teach someone like myself (beginner) that knows nothing about starting up an aircraft and flying it. I have worked on C-130 aircraft in the Air Force, in the Viet Nam years but does not make me an expert in knowing how to fly any Aircraft. Also i only have a RTX-3080TI GFX card, so I know there will be some limitations in running graphics. Plus I would want to do VR.
Also be interested in what and how many aircraft come with the game - and hope not just a few planes and have to pay an arm and a leg for every aircraft that is half way decent. The game itself is probably going to be very expensive on initial launch. I will wait for sometime in the future to buy the game on a deep dive sale price. If it does not happen, I will not get the game.
Thanks for the video. Take care.
Mark I have a question. One that is important.
It's this > How is MSFS going to behave at 36fps or 45fps with the cystal light? I'm worried. And it's arriving at my home very soon.
45 fps would provide a smooth performance. Ideally 33 fps or more required.
@@SimHangerFS That's good to hear. My fear comes from my experience with quest 3 with Asw off at 36fps. Whilst going down the runway it ghosts and blurs? Now.... is this the fps or something else?. Maybe the latency of the USB cable? Can you elaborate mark?
At present in the neov1 in 2d at ultra and high I'm getting 98fps in the air and 85 on the ground at Heathrow. I'm wondering whether I'll make 45fps in the cystal.... and I have the best rig available....7800x3d + 4090?).
I am doubtful this is going to perform. Sadly.
Does Game Pass mean a monthly subscription or can we still purchase as a one off ?
You can opt for what suits you best. Still need sub for multiplayer.
I can't wait
I don't beleive what MSN says about compatiblity ( doubting Thomas ) however I trust your information and.... I will wait for at least a year before considering the new sim I have invested alot in 2020 and wish to use it for now.
Very exciting times! So on or before November 19th, should we be adding more SSD mega-memory to our current systems? Or perhaps completely delete fs2020 (save the payware), before we install fs2024?
I’ll get rid of FS2020 as soon as it drops, personally. No need to keep both for me.
🇳🇦 Thank you . Great info for an exciting new Era 🇳🇦
Glad you enjoyed it!
Glad to hear it’s not. It’s supposed to be the most realistic flight sim on the market. So far it has been nothing of the sort. Hopefully that’s finally changing.
Don’t count on that unless they go for a commercial certificate on the sim. They won’t, there’s too much money pouring from the console community.
I was hoping that MSFS 2024 would be more of a game, where you fly around to earn money to buy bigger planes. As it is now, there just isn't any reason to play for than a few times a month.
MSFS isn't a GTA of the air. Find another game.
@@andyakarudolfhessiansack7936 It is to me.. In GTA I did nothing but just aimlessly driving around without bothering too much with the storyline, much like i do in MSFS.. just flying around to explore the world. Preferably in a plane that feels realistic of course.
@@andyakarudolfhessiansack7936 GTA? Really? Every other sim game I have has a campaign mode: ATS, Farming Sim, Snowrunner, even KSP.
And multiple 3rd party companies have created a campaign mode that clumsily interfaces with MSFS. Some even charging monthly subscription fees. So the demand is there.
It wouldn't even interfere with the flyaround types as it would be a separate mode like all the missions.
But, you are correct that this isn't a game for me as a tiny portion of the MSFS player base seems to want the game to have the smallest possible player count.
how the hell no one asking about shared cockpit
I find the 2024 footage compelling in capability but realism has been turned to cartoon level with those saturated colors.
And who knows what system they used to render that trailer. And how much of it is "embellished" with CG?
Apparently the aurora isn't that colourful to the naked eye.
It can be ... very varied.
