Great video. I think MS should do videos like this one about their gaming products. They are good in telling you how great their products are in computers capable of sending a rocket to the moon.
Thank you, truly. I am glad my videos find the right audiance. Your observation captures the essence I stive to showcase. Hence I put my trusty old-ish pc to use as it is so close to the minimum spec Microsoft provided on their site. I have more similar tech alpha videos in the "pipeline". And I am courious over comparing the tech alpha to the final product launchin November 19th. So, expect more videos relating to that, and of course reviews on top of Entired Retreats more explorative location-topic combination videos.
@@keithrobson8649 My intention is not to block the view. Its an overlay that shares information and advertices the platforms @entiredretreat are found on. (TH-cam, Spotify, Discord and Patreon) We upload our location-topic combo videos to TH-cam with Gameplay and Audio Commentary, and as Pure Audio to Spotify. Hence the logo-overlays. Sadly though, as I recorded the Msfs24 Tech Alpha videos, my face-camera bugged out and changed to the black screen in the low-center part of the screen. Usually I record video of myself in that location. I got it fixed though, so in future videos the overlay video of me should be fine again. 🤞👍
The photogrammetry is not made for that close-up view. You can zoom in on Google Earth and see the photogrammetry degrade significantly. The resolution is not good enough for close-up and personal viewing. If we had streetview resolution, it would not run on our machines. You would move a short distance and render for several seconds before you move again. Happy flying.
@patriotsix5880 Yes. And I believe that the photogrammetry was generally muted in the tech alpha. Though I am courious, as I understood Msfs24 will have first person game level graphics, whatever that then means. Whats your take on this? Personally I think of, lets say, PUBG type of graphical detail when I hear this claim. 🤷🏽♂️🤞 Surely not maybe everywhere at launch, of course. And happy flying to you as well. 👍
@@entiredretreat I am like you in that I don't know for certain but my instinct tells me that the first person will be good in areas outside of the photogrammetry cities. Like out in nature or handcrafted airports. Also in special designated areas and points of interest. I can't see it being great in all urban locations in the world. That would be an immense undertaking. We will know for certain very soon though.
i get putting your discord info on screen at some point. but a BIG block in middle of screen the whole video??? yah no thanks. and in a "low spec demo" vid maybe instead of pointless avatar set up you go over game settings? No fps display? kinda missed the boat with this.
@@jaysmith6466 Thanks for the constructive critisism. In the future, I plan on dedicating a smaller area for the logos and the like, and they are going to be in the top middle instead of bottom middle. Reason for using the overlay in the center is simply the "short" formfactor; meaning that the overlay is visible in short edits this way. Othervice it could be in a corner somewhere. And, honestly, I have not decided on me "the avatar" being showcased on the screen for good... But, for some reason a video feed of a goofy masked dude has been a positive affect on my video watch times; and thats perfectly fine for me. And a performance overlay is going to be in the furure videos that benifit from it. Its a good thing that I already have "tickets" booked for the next "boat" passing by. 🛶 I listen, and I strive to learn 😅 Opinnions, critisism etc... all good. You have one, others may have a different one; well see what I end up doing on a regular basis with the overlay. Less obstructive is my first planned step. 👍
Ist the Technical Alpha, so there is no DLC or add ons availeable. Microsoft underlined that the graphics dop not reprecent the final product. So, fingers crossed that the release build of the game is better. I mean, they said that they aim for a graphical quality that is similar to first person games. A tall order, but lets hope they deliver.
@@davidev69 No overlay, if that is what you are asking? Though in the future, I will include performance graphics. Until then, you have to settle with my voice-commentary.
Lmao, thank you for these videos. Do you know if they will improve city details? I know they said that nature will look better but this looks like FS 20.
@@WorkingJuntos The Tech Alpha was a "downgraded" version of the game. World exploration, career and some trick flying were the game mode options. And only 3 airplanes were availeable. So the graphics were also downgraded. I was greeted by a emphazis/mention before playing the Alpha version, that the graphics are not the main point of intrest for Microsofts tests, and hence they (the graphics) were not fully reprecented in the alpha version. So, take the visuals in my Msfs24 videos with a grain of salt. Photogrammetry seemed like it was turned down at least. I mean, high and ultra graphics did not do much when I turned them up in the video. You can see a similar affect in my "Aokigahara forest, Mount Fuji and Tokyo " videos also. Those are out on my channel. Microsoft had shared that they strive for FP (first person) game level of graphics when walking on the ground..... OR WATER! Yes, you read that right --> Wait for my Lofoten-Norway video 😅😂 I also tried to walk up the Eifel tower... So I have a couple of videos comming soon as I just have finalized the edits. So, yes, I trust that the graphics will be better then Msfs2020.
Im sure it will look better. Microsoft emphazised that the graphics are not the main event in the tech alpha; instead they tested server funtionality and the like. The photogrammetry at least was not responding as I would assume it should. I have 100Mbs download and that, according to Microsift, schould be enough for the photogrammetry graphics. Im planning to do more content relating to Msfs2024, including graphical performance as the game launches. Focusing on the Lower Specification Pc's. This then schould give us a good comparison between the tech alpha and the full game. Let me know what details interest you and I strive to include these in my future creations. 👍
True, its the Tech Alpha. Though, having more reference points to compare to is better then not having them? I will compare Msfs 2020 with Msfs 2024 Tech Alpha with the Full Msfs 2024 as the new game releases. 👍

Thanks for the video. Loved the thumbnail! :)
I would lie if I claimed I drew it myself. 😉😅
Is there a reason why you block the bottom of the screen with the TH-cam, Discord and Spotify logo ? Never seen it before. Blocks view of instruments.

It looks like the city infrastructure, roads and bridges are still the same as in MSFS 2020. Maybe you should buy more the DLC or the Add On? 🤔😒🙄

I agree. Though it is the Tech Alpha and Microsoft emphazised that it is not reprecenting the final product. Hopefully they deliver in the end. 🤞
pretty useless, wait for the real version.
