I am happy with 2024, despite the teething issues. It uses my hardware to its full potential and is so smooth. I look forward to many years as it stabilises and improves.
Also, when you go to the store nowadays, we are also expected to check-out and bag our own groceries. Consumers are no longer customers per say. We are a means to money only and if we want, we must pay first with little to no expectations of quality or getting what we actually pay for until after the fact. At which point we are then responsible for going after the company and demanding it.
Agree, however, what can we do about it? Im pretty much on the same page as yourself, and its frustrating, but we also seem to have little “power” or ability to have any real input to developers. This seems to be the case with most all devs. They are a different breed of individuals that seem to be very defensive of any criticism. So I try to just accept what we get and deal with it as it comes
In the UK, if a product does not do what the advert says, we have the Consumer Protection Agency, Trades Descriptions Act and Trading Standards Act. HM Govt can sue the manufacturer for the customers' refunds. And the customer keeps the item, half working.
All of the missions are ai generated and it will give you impossible tasks with certain aircraft, fail your flight for something you didn't do, or give you the wrong flight path/ runway to take off from. not to mention only getting 2000 credits for a 45 minute flight when the cheapest plane to purchase is 200000
Microsoft must have known about the bugs. This happened for two reasons: MS nailed the release to a multimillion dollar ad and marketing spend. Release on time or 50 million down the drain. Also, games with dates in their titles just make Q4 release plans a triumph of hope over experience. The release on Game Pass should have been delayed by a week. That would have mitigated release day problems.
I am very understanding. I am waiting patiently for a workable item before I shell out. I have worked with Microsoft for 40 years, and know them of old. Can you imagine buying a Porsche and it goes wrong. Then you find out they are using customers as testers, and fix when a fault arises. You wouldn't be happy.
I completely understand what you are saying. I know things will get better, but what they did, and what the general gaming industry is doing is simply not right. We didn't pay to test, we paid for a presentable product.
FS24 is a failed title and it will never recover. What keeps MSFS going are the real simmers who consider this a serious hobby, not the 'kids' who want to fly missions and take photos and do make-believe career scenarios. For the serious simmers, FS24 is an insult and a joke. A vast majority have simply gone back to FS2020. And this is what ultimately what will kill off FS24, not those who complain about it, but those who will silently walk away from it.
Pretty strong opinion.I like it! I can agree that FS24 is nowhere ready atm for us "serious simmers". However, there is no reason to believe it will not get there. I had the same opinion about MSFS, but 4 years later we are calling it a good simulator. Regarding the "kids", I see your point, but the truth is that even if there are a LOT of casual people coming in the sim, they are still potential future "serious simmers". So yea.. I get you, but just as MSFS took a long time to get somewhere, FS2024 will take aswell. Safe flights brother!
@@Capt_Frank It'll be interesting to see how it turns out. You're right about the missions etc being an introduction to potential new 'serious simmers', but what worries me is FS24's technical environment. Look at some of the finer details, control bindings are a mess, it took me about 2 days to configure everything. The aircraft menus are a mess, there are planes and helicopters all over the place. Don't even get me started on the thumbnail inconsistencies. Things being so cloud-based has taken customisation out of player hands but above all, I'm not convinced the graphics in FS24 are better. They look cartoonish almost FSX-like. I know people will disagree with me but FS24 is not an improvement to FS2020.
@@TheBigChokito yeap, I get ya. At least on the next patch you will be able to choose what you want to stream and what you want to download. That will help make some choices
between helicopters that cant adjust trim to constant bugs during missions

Great potential! And we are seeing more and more addons coming over slowly!
