N069NT Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Yeah I just stumbled on it while on Youtube looking for airshow videos! I instantly came here to see if anyone was talking about it (no ranting and raving yet on the official MSFS forums). But there's just not enough info yet out for what it means to us MSFS adopters. I for one have many questions like: Will there be an updated graphics engine with an up to date global geography map? My estimate on the current MSFS map graphics is that it was taken from 2011-2012 satellite data. In a lot of areas in the US around outer metro city exurbs, the growth has been insane and landmark buildings are either no longer there and replaced, or in the case of suburban growth, what was rural farmland in 2012 is now full of suburban homes and shopping centers. You can go back in time on Googlemaps Earth Pro to check your area. Will the missions and challenges shown in the trailer only be available with the new sim? Will current MSFS users just only need to buy an update? In any event, I'll hold my tongue until further information is needed. I for one thought we'd be with MSFS/2020 well into 2030 while just dealing with the occasional updates. i7 11700K @ 5.0GHz, ASUS Z590-Plus TUF Gaming, Noctua NH-D15, 2x16GB G.SKILL TridentZ 4000, EVGA RTX 3080 Ti FTW3, Super Flower 850W, SilverStone Redline SST-RL06 PRO case, Samsung 980 2TB M.2 (OS/MSFS), Gigabyte Aorus 48" OLED 4K 120Hz + LG 32" UN32650-W 4K monitors, Logitech Yoke + throttle + CH Pro Pedals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say this, MSFS is my first choice over FSX but that is only for the eye candy.... Happy Flyin yall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N069NT Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Thanks Tim - I must have missed it. For those interested, here's the Cliff Notes of unknowns straight from them: Questions we don’t know right now: Are addons going to be compatible? How about addons people bought in the store? Will they transfer? Or do we have to buy them again? All the previous world updates and city updates, are they going to be avaliable in 2024? Whats going to happen to 2020? How long is it supported? When will they cut support? Is this going to fragmant the community between the two games? Will multiplayer work between them? What other features are going to be in this? Are all the updates and stuff from 2020 going to be put into 2024? Is this a brand new game? or is it built ontop of 2020? What does this mean for people making addons for 2020? Do they continue building planes for 2020? i7 11700K @ 5.0GHz, ASUS Z590-Plus TUF Gaming, Noctua NH-D15, 2x16GB G.SKILL TridentZ 4000, EVGA RTX 3080 Ti FTW3, Super Flower 850W, SilverStone Redline SST-RL06 PRO case, Samsung 980 2TB M.2 (OS/MSFS), Gigabyte Aorus 48" OLED 4K 120Hz + LG 32" UN32650-W 4K monitors, Logitech Yoke + throttle + CH Pro Pedals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founder Nels_Anderson Posted June 11, 2023 Founder Share Posted June 11, 2023 Wow, that really stretches things beyond just flying. Interesting all the helicopter operations, as well as other things that go well beyond just basic flying. Kind of surprised though. I thought MSFS was supposed to be a 10 year project with continual improvements, and so far that's what it has been. The developers have some explaining to do...

loki Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 They have put up a FAQ with a couple answers. Quote Will Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 be a completely standalone sequel, or will it also be offered as a paid update for existing players? Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is a standalone simulator and the next-generation sequel to Microsoft Flight Simulator that launched in 2020. Current aircraft and airports that are in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020), as well as virtually all Marketplace add-ons, will be supported in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. Quote Will all purchases users have made from the Marketplace be transferrable to the new simulator? With very few exceptions, virtually all add-ons that work in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) today will function in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. Add-ons that were purchased from the in-simulator Marketplace will not need to be re-purchased in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. https://www.flightsimulator.com/microsoft-flight-simulator-2024-faq/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the rescue and delivery scenarios shown in the video, they'll have to fix those things to make such flying even possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicagorandy Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I suspect that many folks (like me) expected a longer shelf life/ best buy timeframe from MSFS 2020 than this? Of course I have NO idea if the newcomer is meant to be a 'replacement' to 2020 or merely a new flight game that consists of various specific scenarios without the global airport choice, aircraft choice etc that we now enjoy? I dunno but I'm certain I WILL know long before the time comes to open my wallet........ again.
