      Yes! We are bastards who should not use critical thinking! Also Monty Python obligatory reference : "I'd like to complain about people complaining about things".
      Its an Alpha and we'll have time to use Game Pass to try it and keep MSFS 2020 for stability. Asobo's reputation is to deliver on time and incomplete.
      My concern after playing with the Alpha is the stuttery nature of it. I have ideal spec - except for the RAM. I'll be curious to see if the Alpha works better with more RAM. For those who fly the same general area, the old cache system is in place and they won't need to deal with internet traffic to get their photogrammetry etc.
      Note to those who have X3D processors - its was using eight cores *equally*. At about 50 percent occupancy. That's impressive.
      Lastly, cockpit shadows are no longer janky (they were an 8-bit nightmare). They look real now. This may be an RTX-only feature, mind you. Seeing the shadows crawl around the bumps on the Cessna's interior, very nice.

    • @DaveJ6515
      @DaveJ6515 9 часов назад

      Maybe a simple fact escapes you: the only purpose of this tech alpha is to discover hidden bugs and to stress the systems. So they are EXPECTING people to speak up about problems they found. For example, if the game is jerky and a stutterfest, they (and I) will want to know. Understood?
      Oh btw ... I have had ALL PC flight simulators that came out since 1979, so I know perfectly well where we are. And I know perfectly well that, before they give us the walkies simulator, the zoo simulator, marine wildlife simulator, and firefighters simulator, what I expect from a FLIGHT simulator is to be smooth, with NO stutters, to have a great flight model, a great ground handling model, no exaggerated ballooning on the runway, nice looking, realistic clouds, and great looking runways and taxiways with appropriate lighting at any time of day and night. I know that we didn't get there with msfs2020, where I can see all the houses where I lived in four different continents, and that's kinda cute, but I still have that stutter on short final which destroys the immersion, and the morphing textures, and the awful clouds, and so on.

    Thank you for the vid. My plan is to wait for MSFS2024 to get patched, improved and debugged. Nothing tests a product like releasing it to millions of discerning users. It'll be 2025 before I even consider it. This isn't a criticism: I'm just being pragmatic. I've worked in video game dev for 30 years and know that the longer I can wait, the better the build I install will be. And the more third-party add-ons, enhancements, fixes,tweaks etc. will be available, tested and improved.
    I'm eager to play this but it's like wanting to reach the North Pole: I'll have a far easier journey if I follow the experts plunging ahead in their ice-breakers.

      I must admit I would have scoffed at your comment, before I actually tried the Tech Alpha, and now that I have, you are probably right. Please folks don't get me wrong, it's looking amazing, it's just that there's a lot to fix before it can become as stable and ready for mainstream consuption as MSFS 2020 is and unless they have provided an older release for this test, then I can't see it being ready by November 19th. It's just not possible.

    Those autogen buildings look terrible. I don't know why they don't use more AI to make Bing Streetside and Maps into 3d. A generative type of AI could get extremely good at filling out missing details and making things look accurate when up-close. Photogrammetry can be very good, but is too expensive to capture for every area on the planet.

    I don't mind it being an evolution of MSFS 2020 rather than a revolution. Because MSFS 2020 still kicks ass! What I want from this new iteration is better performance, less bugs and good VR support. I agree, don't like the flashy zooming nonsense. It's pretty clear they want it to have this flashy presentation to it, but in the end, it's going to get old pretty quickly. I wish they had focused on the menus being more optimized. So far it seems like they are still as slow as in MSFS 2020.

      From the Tech Alpha's I've been running on my PC's it's been running great. Only issue I would say its the DLSS implementation leaves a lot to be desired.

Right now I'm thinking you can only use TAA and that of course would limit performance on lower end hardware.

I think the biggets improvement is to the scenery.. things such as trees, grass, seasonal crops etc really make a difference.Like you say, it's the amalmagation of all these things that make the sim look and feel much better than 2024. The biggest shock will be goin gback to MSFS 2020 after getting used to 2024 :)
    Of course it's not perfect, and many features don't work yet (all the AI plane models and liveries, animals, ships, grass, photogrammetry, mesh for specific areas, etc) so there's a lot more to this that we haven't seen yet. But for a first impression this is awesome :)

    Not enough people understand what this technical alpha is all about, so let me quote what someone else said:
    Many participants of the tech alpha don't seem to get what the point of it all is. It's about the systems and services in the backend as stated by Asobo before AND after the alpha started.
    This version is stripped down to the bare minimum for that. It is not for you to check out early how it will look when you get the "final" product.
    Most of the procedural/ai stuff like rocks, foliage, grass, fields/crops, basically all the new eye candy as seen in the previews and trailers is NOT implemented in this build. Traffic of any kind is made of generic models.
    The final product on November 19th will be way better than what we’ve seen so far 😏

Rememvber London photogrammetry wasn't part of the default sim, it was introduced in a World Update, so that's probably still being worked on given the install was only 10 GBs.

My guess is 6-12 months to get the new sim oiled and dialed in? This is new so growing pains and learning curve are usually a roller coaster of sorts. I'm hanging on to 2020 for awhile as it is pretty dialed in and running smooth. As always great video Steve! I'm Still in search of a VR headset....

    I dont think the sim will change that much in terms of look and feel , between now and the release in Nov. I fear it will be MSFS 2020 with better loading times and a lick of paint on the UI. I dont really care for the gamey addons. It will hurt to have to pay 150 bucks for that if its truly the case. But I will probably fold and buy it purely because of FOMO.

    How did you get your controls working so quickly, all profiles are empty and every button & lever needs to be set up, it's crazy they did not add any default profiles for Honeycomb Alpha & Bravo... It's a nightmare but the sim runs so much smoother and better than in MSFS2020 with the same hardware and yes all 12 cores I have on my AMD CPU get used and must be one the the many reasons it runs so much better. I would love to see setup video's like the ones from Mark the simhanger for Yoke & Throttle setup guide.

Aside from lots of scenery, if the devs of my aircraft especially Fenix, 146,a300 and PA28, along with GSX, FSLTL, beyond ATC, FS2crew, fenix2gsx etc can prove it works along with VR and decent fps then I’ll go through the upgrade pain! Plus I’m expecting lots of bugs in the first 12 months as per usual. Looks good though and the flight dynamics improvements will be very welcome!

    MSFS have a Forum, where users can log bugs and name there wishes on a 'wish list'.
    Asobo put their resources into the most popular bugs and the highest voted wishes.
    Unfortunately for GA light aircraft flyers, the wish list is predominately Internation Heavy Jet flyers.
    In this arena, the airports used have 'Game flavour' ATC.
    In the GA light aircraft arena, who have very few votes on the wish list because most of the users are Heavy Jet flyers, there is no ATC or AFIS at smaller fields.
    This has been the situation for four years.
    For GA light aircraft flyers, we have to use our imagination or only fly between medium sized fields with ATC.
    In REAL Life at small fields, requesting clearance for VFR exists, but not in this sim.
    For the 2024 generation of this package, IMHO, comms with the Tower at all fields that IRL have comms, should have been on top of the 'to do' list.

    The ideal spec published by MS is 100 Mbps (megabit per second). That's 12 MB/s. Nowhere close to 500 MB/s. In Europe 100 Mbps is nothing special. In most places you can't even get internet subscriptions that slow anymore.

    It's a huge upgrade to the existing game but for development reasons had to be made afresh with a new architecture so it could expand and improve in future.
    If anyone had listened to the developers and got a handle on the features you could only really come to this conclusion, despite the Asobo hype train (I don't begrudge them that, it's their job to sell the sim).
    I think, really by 2028 ish and the next release (if they do one then), compared to 2020 that release will be on a whole new level.
    The only major disappointment I see coming with this upgrade is a lack of focus on VR which is very disappointing.

      Oh my. For media consumption on a normal sized 16:9 screen, 4k barely makes a difference. In fact, in practice, it's often worse than 1440p, because constant framerates are a much more noticeable improvement than the miniscule bit of extra clarity the vast majority of people don't even notice. When it comes to games and media consumption, 4k is mostly hype and marketing. Nothing more.
      Where you will notice 4k is when it comes to things like font or image clarity when the content is entirely static. But that's not MSFS.
