You should have seen the 1978 flight simulator available on the TRS-80 Model 2 4K. About all you could say about the graphics was: "yes". To the poster above, good memory it was "SubLogic", there was zero chance I'd have remembered that name. ruclips.net/video/xmkYVSbodw4/видео.html
The first one I played was FS 3. It was untextured polygon graphics, but you could build and fly your own plane, sort of like a lite version of Kerbal Space Program. It was fun
One thing I would LOVE to have back is a very simple and basic feature - that the sim automatically loads where you exited on the last session. Or at least that you can select that feature if you want it. It would really save time, especially with those astronomical loading times.
@sybeck1823 ... yes you do, but this way I end up with a million saved flights in a short time and I still have to go through loading the flight for five minutes after the sim took ten minutes to start up. I would like the sim on startup to take me there directly, just as previous flightsim versions did when selecting " load previous flight on startup"...
I enjoyed the video but just a little tip: it would be good to only use msfs 2024 footage, or make it clear when it's not 2024 footage because you've mixed up 2020 and 2024 in this video and at some points I wasn't sure which one I was looking at
This will totally change the genre, why? In all flight simulation history we always had our games relying on third parties to work (flight planners, aircraft performance utilities, etc), and the entire flight simulation community was only focused on fighting for which game had the best graphics or most realistic physics, but all of them forgot the true problem in flight simulation... that we needed a game in which we could play without the need of using a third party software with it... and the features, oh man the features, this new MSFS will come with lots of activities to do like a career mode, this is what flight simulation really needed besides physics or graphics, activities and complete in-game included systems and tools so we don't have to make it all with 7 million other third parties.
I hope they add the cloud condensation on the wing effect too, It has been mentioned by players many times but nothing has been done. For example in reality when the plane goes through the clouds the wings fade in to the cloud. However in the game it doesn’t. Its a small thing but it add to the realism of the game and make it more fun when playing
Is there any news on water fx? Waves at the coast, flowing rivers, waterfalls? This is a glaring omission from a simulation where 75% of the modeled globe is covered by water. Perhaps I notice this more as I’m from and grew up in Hawaii, but flying around oceans that act like millponds and having shores that look like they are from puddles is immensely immersion breaking. The ocean is incredibly active, dynamic, volatile, unpredictable and powerful, and it seems like they’re addressing every single possible detail in this Sim….. except the most obviously glaringly absent one. Bring the oceans to life and give water its due respect……it would do wonders to make the world feel more alive and interesting to explore.
I can really see them at some point using this same vast dataset of buildings, elevations, structures, etc. to make a full Earth open-world Forza type driving game. With OpenStreetMap's vast database of building footprints, roads, trails, etc. it should be possible to auto-gen and populate appropriate ground scenery in the same way MSFS does while flying. Just do what Euro Truck Sim and American Truck Sim do with corporation names unless those corps are willing to have free advertising by using their logos in game.
@@JohnMichaelson you need garbage can level of details for a driving sim. MSFS scenery is good for planes but already start being a bit sparse for flying helos. For cars (few Renault VAB available for example) it’s downright ridiculous.
My understanding is that the game engine was originally created for a driving game but the street level quality never worked but it quickly pivoted to a flight sim. I mention this mainly to say that I don't think the potential is lost on anyone. Microsoft is about due to revive the Midtown Madness franchise.
Would definitely be cool (finally a racing game with proper sense of scale), but nope, won't happen. There is just too much variety in data quality on ground level. What I could imagine though would be a racing game offering a whole city modeled using photogrammetry, perhaps with a completely different way of rendering, like neural rendering to achieve photo realism. The "look around" feature in Apple Maps is _almost_ there. It's still somewhat rough (particularly vegetation), but there is a 3D representation of the environment and you can "drive through" it (although it's just a fancy way to interpolate between keyframes).
Anyone else noticed that they NEVER talk about the BlackShark AI generated buildings? AI is sooo much better than 4 years ago. Shouldn't that mean that we should get way better looking/closer to reality buildings in 2024?
They said in the livestream that they had stopped working with BlackShark for several years already. The reason was that BlackShark did not match Asobo's ambitions for the future. I agree AI should definitely give us much better buildings. Bing even has its own data from Bing Streetview (same as Google Street view). I think it will come, and when it comes, they might as well give us driveable cars and boats and turn the sim into an "everything" simulator.
They need to turn this sim into an "everything" simulator. Where you can drive cars, boats, planes, construction equipment, etc. Essentially GTA, but a global simulator. Flying would be much more fun if you are actually transporting AI NPCs that can talk (chatgpto) to a destination where they go on to another mode of transport. They also need to improve the AI that makes the autogen buildings. It needs to look at Bing Streetside (google street view equivalent) to make the buildings more accurate. It is only fun to drive around if the world is close to reality, otherwise it will be competing with games like GTA and lose.
Would also love to see top end remote Australia for career mode. Massive aviation community servicing remote locations and aboriginal communities - got careflight for medical flights with their b200 king airs as well as all the other smaller companies doing general aviation flying everything from c210 c206 c310 up to conquest and metros. Even Paspaley aviation with pt6 converted Mallards servicing the pearl farms landing out on the ocean.
I really wonder how they're planning to achieve that "FPS like graphics everywhere on the planet", while being realistic depictions of real places at the same time. Some places in MSFS2020 look amazing (photogrammetry), and some places (small cities and villages, even in some parts of Europe), use EXTREMELY low res bing data, so the autogen based on them looks nowhere close to real place. Hopefully they're gonna use hi-res, more recent Bing data.
I really hope at some point, we can have multiplayer copilots. That would be huge! I’d also love to see helicopter ground effect and weather vaning finally added to the stock flight model.
Who doesn't know seasons are different between north and south hemisphere? What do they teach kids these days? We all knew that before the internet, even.
So glad they finally add things to do. It's nice to fly a plane, but rather pointless when there are no actual passengers in it. I had to rely on external programs to simulate that in numbers. Would be nice to have actual goals that you can complete. Hopefully not just a few scenarios but actual generated missions depending on the type you chose.
@@imacmill Thats what I always did like any other playing, but itd still be way cool to see cargo and passenger boarding/disembarking simulated and rendered in real time
Really great one, great cinematics, love when your videos show such wonderful scenery and in flight shots with relevant extra/demo content that doesn't repeat itself too much.
I really hope that the carrer mode isnt just click a button and start the mission. It would be great if there would be some progression like: earn money, buy new planes, unlock new paths. Maybe also get some training before you are allowed to open some carrer paths
I would advice to lower your hopes. I do not have the details but it would be a miracle if half of the mentioned features will be out of the box in the new version..
After 4 years, the sim still doesn’t accurately record takeoffs/landings and will randomly delete your logbook and controller settings. My hope for a proper career mode is less than zero.
There used to be this really nice add-on for FSX that you had your own company and you had to buy a plane, set your prices for the different classes of seats and their meal cost. And when you fly you control when food and stuff goes out, the air hostess would do their announcement. When you land the people would cheer or screen depending on your landing, if too much turbulence they would scream, and upon finishing the flight you would get reviewed by customers on how the flight was. It was an awesome add-on. Would be so cool if someone did that....I never checked if they did one for 2020.
@@Humza1that was fs passengers the developer also made some really cool addons for Orbiter 2010 sadly he dissapeared suddenly from the forums and I fear the worst.
I am going to buy it, but I expect scenery glitches, as the Bing maps base is still pretty iffy in many places at this point. 2024 would have to see a significant improvement of this map.
There are only a few things that really matter: Will the default aircraft fly decently? Will the current twitchiness in pitch and yaw, especially on the ground, be addressed? The most important thing about a flight simulator is the core effects of elevator, aileron, rudder and inertia. So far very few default or addon aircraft get anywhere near convincing flight behaviour. You can tell this by videos showing aircraft jerking left and right down the runway in MSFS 2020. What happened to the hundreds of aerodynamic data points? The fact is that flight behaviour has barely improved since FSX. I hope they get it right this time.
I agree.. I was surprised when I first played FS 2020 of just how twitchy the plane could be and overly responsive. Especially traveling down the runway.. it seems the physics are a bit off to say the least. It would be nice to have this fixed. You can only adjust your sensitivity so low to counter it before it affects the actual way you fly the planes
@@BiffsEquipment MSFS doesn’t model the change in flight control responsiveness in relation to airspeed. I fly Cessnas a Pipers single engine aircraft and in reality, the yoke movement is much greater when flying short final and during flair. My landings in MSFS are atrocious; I’m all over the place by over control.
I tried out the helicopters and it was laughable. I've done a ton of rotor wing stuff in DCS, most of those perform seemingly very realistically. The UH60 is perfect. In flight simulator it was essentially an arcade game.
@@colinfitzgerald4332 do you fly with that take off and landing “assist” enabled in the settings? I turned mine off.. just so I had to do all the work myself with no assistance and I noticed that when I first took it off how much harder it was.. but I still enjoy the “battle” haha
@@BiffsEquipment I fly with the control settings with no assistance- most difficult for “realistic” flight. The Cessna 152 actually seems the closest to the real airplane out of the ones I have tried.
Cant wait for this version! Really looking forward to it. One thing that I would really want is to have the virtual Tablet inside of cockpit mirrored to my physical tablet on desk
If only Laminar and MS could collaborate, such as on VR (which I think Laminar does much better since you can operate systems and control the aircraft solely using VR wand controllers easily). That said my gripes with MSFS 2020 are largely these: 1. Lack of commercial airliner variety (even if not flyable) 2. Lack of well integrated Liveries (even if they are add on purchases) 3. Other players aircraft models dont render (picks a random model) unless you own it yourself (it should stream the external model and livery as applicable for proper rendering) 4. Live traffic models and liveries should better match the actual type and livery 5 MSFS in VR requires constantly switching between wands, keyboard (and physical controllers) because VR wands cannot be used for all functions, in particular actually flying the plane 6. Performance and Stutters in MSFS, very hard to tune for a consistent performance floor at cities and airports of high complexity at low altitudes 7. LOD radius has to be kept very low to keep performance floors reasonable| 8. Very hard to fix game launch issues, usually requiring full removal, delete, reinstall - many times monthly updates have wrecked my sim 9. Does not utilize enough available CPU cores in rendering (MSFS 2020), too much work done in a few key threads or even single threads that limit performance (world render thread splitting is something every game needs today) 10. Better support for ultrawide monitors to eliminate the fisheye effect. I have not found any way to fix this on my 49" ultrawide and it really impacts overall experience.
This could be wonderful canvas for whole world system of games. Just add some sci-fi portal and you could go anywhere 😊like into the future and fight with sq42.😮
I wasn't sure if it was a good idea to try to make a whole new flight sim just 4 years after the last one, that doesn't seem like a whole lot of time with how much it takes for new planes to be added or modded into the game. Especially if you pay for those mods and now you are going to have to start over entirely. But if the technology is really a significant step up with fewer limitations, then that's exciting.
It was one of the biggest games/simulators compared to the rest out there back then but isn’t the case anymore now that we’re getting ready for the real ease of FS2024. When a flight sim gets released in the 2030s the mentality will change and they will say that is the biggest game changer ever and the cycle repeats.
Wow what an ignorant comment. MSFS 2020 was truely a ground breaking sim. You seemed to say that with disdain? MSFS 2024 I would say has at least 5 times the number people working on it and where as MSFS 2020 content wise wasn't too different to FSX, MSFS 2024 will feature a ton of new content far exceeding any prevous flight simulator.
Well most important to you, but completely irrelevant to me 🙂 Personally I have way too many physical add-ons, gauges, switches etc which makes the experience enjoyable to me. Maybe the, what is it called “augmented VR” where you can see through the headset, might be a solution for me in the future. Anyway I think we just fly these sims the way we prefer.
Animals and being able to walk around is cool but what I would really like to see is having ALL the navaids in the world present so you can use real world charts.
I see from their mountain flying they still haven't fixed the horrible stretched textures on steep inclines, the late loading of such textures and the trees growing horizontally out of them. Also, given that they're shifting the majority of the client to the cloud have they given any assurance that the sim will be flyable when the inevitable and regular Azure outage occurs? I haven't seen anywhere what's going to be stored locally and what's going to be moved server side.
DCS World will be in serious trouble if MFS will properly implement military aviation and combat in maybe MFS 2028 / 2032. Still i hope DCS World will come to it senses and see the potential of a better rendering engine. More competitors is good for this niche market.
Owning a plane you always wanted and flying it and seeing the world is FAR out of reach for most of us I am very excited for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, VERY excited! 😁
I was disappointed when I went on 2020 to see if I could land a helicopter on the helipad of the hospital I work at and it was just grass (I think the giant “H” visible on the aerial maps would make it obvious and would register it as a helipad but maybe it’s not that advanced). Hopefully this will be better on 2024.
Did the area of your hospital ever receive a world update or heliport updates in the region? I ask because if there were no world updates, then that could be a reason. Also, if they did update the heliports in your area, maybe that hospital's wasn't prioritized for some reason.
I believe that some functionality like that will be available if you do career mode. In career mode, they want some kind of consequences to your actions. I don't know what happens in free flight mode, but I do believe that aircraft will get dirty. Have no idea if dirt will affect the aerodynamics of your aircraft.
I sure hope trees snd vegetation moves according to the weather, its a important thing to give it that realism... They need to have a easy and automatic flyby camera too!! Also would be cool to be able to go do space mission to the moon and also be a UFO ship or Superman
walk around first person view in msfs 2024 must be a visable character we all users can see during doing walk arounds or seeing them flying and interact in the sim or even walk in your plane as a gast in your plane who wants to fly with you for sightseeing and even speak to them this makes the sim much more livingly like a first person shooter idea thats so much fun in multiplay combined in discord talking to eachother
Edit: I originally wrote a comment here saying that you can see your pilot walking around. Unfortunately, after watching the developer stream, it turns out that I am wrong.
@@tedsword we need to see each others character and either speaking to each other like in the game in Squad, also walking into there aircraft via a terminal where you can step of the plane where it landed if you wish so but not walking to there cockpit if the door is locked other wise you would interfere there procedures. like we act as if we are actually passengers.
@@tedsword if the pilot can here te conversations must be funny and like real if a passenger behave abnormal he can ask cabin crew to detain those or have silece that indivdual
Excellent video going through a lot of information. Nice one. I believe the tornados it was confirmed are only available in set situations and would not be part of live weather. The auroras phenomenon was originally scheduled for a 2024+ release but I believe that's been brought into the released version now. Internet speeds will need to be stable, however they've made efficiencies in the download process only downloading what you need, so this might not be as demanding as folks are making out. The real life air traffic definately works in MSFS 2020, I was constantly looking up real flights in flightaware, it was great to see, of course it can be better and I imagine a lot of flights was culled or missed off entirely.
ATC screws up the traffic pattern direction all the time. For example, if I'm approaching for landing on runway 25 from the northwest, it should tell me to make a *right* downwind for 25. Instead it instructs me to make a *left* downwind, which I guess you could do by overflying the runway but in my real life experience that's extremely rare and when it does happen ATC will say something like "cross at midfield, make left downwind 25". My guess is the ATC engine is looking at the airport database that says the pattern for 25 is left, but that's really only pertinent when the tower is closed.
@rver99, you are correct. The airport data has pattern information for each runway, and that runway information contains pattern altitude and whether it's a right or left pattern. Any problems you saw on 2020 will cascade into 2024 because they will use the same world. The World Hub is scheduled to be reopened in Q2 next year. I don't know what it's going to look like (or if it's going to go into a round of beta testing before it goes public), but if it contains the ability to request work on certain airports, you may want to do that for the airports where you see incorrect pattern stuff like this.
I was so surprised with 2020 feeling like it just released that they’re already coming out with a new one, wish all the planes I bought would transfer over!
The very first trailer I saw the oil rig and how detailed and traversable it was, I knew you could walk around right there. Jorg has stated yes you'll be able to traverse oil rigs and boats. What we don't know is how traversable, clearly only a limited area will be fleshed out as it's still a flight simulator.
1. The third party marketplace addons, regarding the port to 2024, and them not being available immediately, has nothing to do with a “sign off”, or rather, that’s the least of the issues. 2024 is a new game, and 2020 addons will have to be ported, most likely devs will have to make changes. This is an unavoidable and very common practice. But you make it sound like devs just hav to tick a box to approve, which is not the case. Second, correct me if I am wrong here, but I am pretty sure MS etc didn’t say that the FP view is going to be as DETAILED as a typical FPS. Though they said that it’ll operate more or less like a typical FPS.
For FPS - Quote: "Right now, we have every ship on Earth, right? Every ship on Earth sends us a transponder signal… you can land on every ship, and *it looks like a first person shooter environment.* I think we're in a new era of making games that I think are going to break new ground, from a scale and complexity perspective." - Jorg Neumann head of MSFS, in interview with PC Gamer: www.pcgamer.com/games/sim/flight-simulator-2024s-huge-ambition-means-you-can-now-exit-the-plane-walk-around-you-can-land-on-every-ship-and-it-looks-like-a-first-person-shooter-environment/ Also, we have already seen from the preview event that many of these areas are as detailed as a lot of FPS games. For Add-ons - First Quote Quote: "We’re still making sure that everything works properly for the add-ons, and the team is focused on making sure there are no significant changes needed for them to work in 2024. That's part of why we're doing all the testing now with partners like Gaia. *The goal is that developers won’t have to update their content for it to work in the new version.* " Second Quote: "First off, backward compatibility is something we said we're doing, so we are... we have some people like Gaia that work with us basically as a first-party developer, and we're using them to test the tools, make sure that everything works as expected, and they give us feedback back. Not everything was perfect, so the team is still working on making sure that there's no impact because *the whole point of backward compatibility is that you don't actually have to do anything; it'll just move over.* So, massive progress was made, but to answer the actual question-will the SDK be available prior to launch? For sure, just not quite ready yet." From June Q&A: ruclips.net/video/cj4e1FhDhBE/видео.html Regarding third-party developer sign-off - Quote: "Julie also emphasized that 2020 content will be available in 2024, but *developers must manually test and approve it.*" news.flightsim.to/fsexpo-2024-key-takeaways-for-microsoft-flight-simulator-2024/
I keep hearing that its a completely new sim. Although it will be super awesome, it's really y a way much better version of the same FS2020 sim or you would not be able to your FS2020 scenery, aircraft, and utilities.
Eh, that isn't the case. Just because Windows 11 can accept floppy disks, doesn't mean it is the same as Windows XP or older. Another one: Just because the Xbox Series X can play disc based games from the first Xbox...

@@charlie7mason I disagree. The fact that MSFS add-ons can be re-used out of the box is a telltale sign. I won’t talk too much, I’ll let you guys see it for yourself.
Using a model globe of the Earth and a lamp I deduced the 4 seasons where a result of the Earth's orbit around the sun, because of the inclination of the Earth's rotational axis, when I was about 7 or 8 years old. My oldest brother insisted I was wrong because of the way they taught it in school implied the Earth itself wobbled back and forth to create the seasons. I set up my lamp and globe experiment to demonstrate why I was correct. He rarely argued with me about science again.
Flight Simulator 2020 is an impressive accomplishment, but also rough around the edges. Its scope is huge, but bugs are common. The Control assignments system especially needs love, cockpit interaction without a mouse or controller is impossible. Some bindings are impossible to assign without external software. Also, graphics look great, but up close the illusion falls apart. I am looking forward to tesselation of ground features. Those canyons I love flying in will look fantastic.
@@stachowi We won't know for sure but with the optimisations in place we know they are targetting the same minimum hardware levels which makes sense as it has to run on the same generation of consoles. What I can't answer is, if it will look any better for the same level of performance? Remember this new version has more candy and turning on Ray Tracing and saying VR sucks is a stupid way of measuing VR, so as always you have to use a bit of common sense. I suspect with tweaking you'll be fine.
Flight Simulator (2020) is....still....the biggest fight sim in the world by plenty of metrics (and among the most detailed, even given the limitations of photogrammetry, with all those free update packs). Considering 2024 is shaping up to be a pretty major technological improvement, there's no reason to think it won't immediately take the title. However, the greater dependency on streaming data isn't nothing, but considering FS2020 is....a rough experience playing offline (I say this as someone who actually owns the massive 10-disc "offline" release), and how many people can't or won't accept a +200 GB installation size, this is probably the least bad solution to those problems.
2024 Should be pleasing and I am looking forward to it very much so. The one thing that do make me wonder about is, will this new Simulator have Arctic and Antarctic regions free of small trees or any plant life? The People making the Simulator needs to take note of where the tree line ends in the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere. I have only been in the Canadian Arctic regions and in the Arctic there is no vegetation. It is a different world like I am sure the Extreme Southern Hemisphere is as well.
Everything? Okay, I'm in! And if I'm disconnected from the cloud? No, I'd rather have everything on my computer. No word about the UI? That is disturbing. The UI in complex games and simulations like this are always so disorganized and esoteric. The developers don't seem to care how haphazard it is as long as everything-- well, most everything-- is there. Somewhere. In fact it should be possible to have the whole UI descriptions and commands, organized of course, on a second or third monitor.
I really hope this turns out as good as it sounds, cuz they fixing all my gripes and adding a ton new stuff. Gonna make the game worth playing. So sick of the long updates, the glitches, etc. I’m glad they went this route, I just hope they did a good job.

I hope they add the cloud condensation on the wing effect too, It has been mentioned by players many times but nothing has been done. For example in reality when the plane goes through the clouds the wings fade in to the cloud. However in the game it doesn’t. Its a small thing but it add to the realism of the game and make it more fun when playing
Is there any news on water fx? Waves at the coast, flowing rivers, waterfalls?
This is a glaring omission from a simulation where 75% of the modeled globe is covered by water. Perhaps I notice this more as I’m from and grew up in Hawaii, but flying around oceans that act like millponds and having shores that look like they are from puddles is immensely immersion breaking. The ocean is incredibly active, dynamic, volatile, unpredictable and powerful, and it seems like they’re addressing every single possible detail in this Sim….. except the most obviously glaringly absent one.
Bring the oceans to life and give water its due respect……it would do wonders to make the world feel more alive and interesting to explore.
I can really see them at some point using this same vast dataset of buildings, elevations, structures, etc. to make a full Earth open-world Forza type driving game. With OpenStreetMap's vast database of building footprints, roads, trails, etc. it should be possible to auto-gen and populate appropriate ground scenery in the same way MSFS does while flying. Just do what Euro Truck Sim and American Truck Sim do with corporation names unless those corps are willing to have free advertising by using their logos in game.
Why openstreemaps? Microsoft has its own maps (bing maps) they could just use that data to generate stuff.
@@JohnMichaelson you need garbage can level of details for a driving sim.
MSFS scenery is good for planes but already start being a bit sparse for flying helos.
For cars (few Renault VAB available for example) it’s downright ridiculous.
My understanding is that the game engine was originally created for a driving game but the street level quality never worked but it quickly pivoted to a flight sim. I mention this mainly to say that I don't think the potential is lost on anyone. Microsoft is about due to revive the Midtown Madness franchise.
Would definitely be cool (finally a racing game with proper sense of scale), but nope, won't happen. There is just too much variety in data quality on ground level.
What I could imagine though would be a racing game offering a whole city modeled using photogrammetry, perhaps with a completely different way of rendering, like neural rendering to achieve photo realism. The "look around" feature in Apple Maps is _almost_ there. It's still somewhat rough (particularly vegetation), but there is a 3D representation of the environment and you can "drive through" it (although it's just a fancy way to interpolate between keyframes).
@@NeovanGoth based on google streetview and we might go somewhere
Can't believe how utterly realistic this is. I took a 737 max for a spin the other day and a door fell off. How cool is that?
Terrain is still morphing, a big let down for me as it breaks immersion flying low and slow.
That's as funny as a tooth ache.
Anyone else noticed that they NEVER talk about the BlackShark AI generated buildings?
AI is sooo much better than 4 years ago. Shouldn't that mean that we should get way better looking/closer to reality buildings in 2024?
They all look the same. That’s why no one is talking about it.
@@MatPocobo42 that's the point! 2024 should change that!
They said in the livestream that they had stopped working with BlackShark for several years already. The reason was that BlackShark did not match Asobo's ambitions for the future. I agree AI should definitely give us much better buildings. Bing even has its own data from Bing Streetview (same as Google Street view). I think it will come, and when it comes, they might as well give us driveable cars and boats and turn the sim into an "everything" simulator.
@@jimj2683 i hope. Have you seen in the unreal Matrix city demo HOW GOOD buildings can look?
Especially at night buildings in FS look like shit...
They need to turn this sim into an "everything" simulator. Where you can drive cars, boats, planes, construction equipment, etc. Essentially GTA, but a global simulator.
Flying would be much more fun if you are actually transporting AI NPCs that can talk (chatgpto) to a destination where they go on to another mode of transport.
They also need to improve the AI that makes the autogen buildings. It needs to look at Bing Streetside (google street view equivalent) to make the buildings more accurate. It is only fun to drive around if the world is close to reality, otherwise it will be competing with games like GTA and lose.
I wonder how many people will fly to their house first thing in MFS2024
Xplane 11 utterly messed up my home town, so I have my hopes up for MSFS 2024
Would also love to see top end remote Australia for career mode. Massive aviation community servicing remote locations and aboriginal communities - got careflight for medical flights with their b200 king airs as well as all the other smaller companies doing general aviation flying everything from c210 c206 c310 up to conquest and metros. Even Paspaley aviation with pt6 converted Mallards servicing the pearl farms landing out on the ocean.
I really wonder how they're planning to achieve that "FPS like graphics everywhere on the planet", while being realistic depictions of real places at the same time. Some places in MSFS2020 look amazing (photogrammetry), and some places (small cities and villages, even in some parts of Europe), use EXTREMELY low res bing data, so the autogen based on them looks nowhere close to real place. Hopefully they're gonna use hi-res, more recent Bing data.
I really hope at some point, we can have multiplayer copilots. That would be huge! I’d also love to see helicopter ground effect and weather vaning finally added to the stock flight model.
Space legs...
Earth legs
I want to be able to jump out of my plane and then hike through the mountains to get the gopro footage off them
Ant, thanks a lot for the most comprehensive update on MSFS 2024 I have seen so far! We're in for a treat come November 19th 😊 Greetings from Norway 🙂
Who doesn't know seasons are different between north and south hemisphere? What do they teach kids these days? We all knew that before the internet, even.
Just add underwater elevation data, model water physics a bit and throw in some submarines, Lets Go!!
I'm cautiously optimistic. Like others have said, we heard the same kinds of promises from MS for the 2020 flight Sim and well.....yeah
They need to update water graphics. Rivers, waves, general realism
Forget water graphics, the float physics are disgusting in 2020. No reason why a team of 800 can't build a realistic floats simulation.
So glad they finally add things to do. It's nice to fly a plane, but rather pointless when there are no actual passengers in it. I had to rely on external programs to simulate that in numbers. Would be nice to have actual goals that you can complete. Hopefully not just a few scenarios but actual generated missions depending on the type you chose.
Can't you just pretend there are passengers?
@@imacmill Thats what I always did like any other playing, but itd still be way cool to see cargo and passenger boarding/disembarking simulated and rendered in real time
FSX had numerous missions
@@imacmilli cant pretend im a millionaire that doesnt make it as good as actually being one
Please make road traffic more realistic. Harbor docks that aren't sunken would be nice too. Lastly, give us the flyby and ATC view back.
Really great one, great cinematics, love when your videos show such wonderful scenery and in flight shots with relevant extra/demo content that doesn't repeat itself too much.
I really hope that the carrer mode isnt just click a button and start the mission. It would be great if there would be some progression like: earn money, buy new planes, unlock new paths. Maybe also get some training before you are allowed to open some carrer paths
I would advice to lower your hopes. I do not have the details but it would be a miracle if half of the mentioned features will be out of the box in the new version..
@@ownzuall Yeah I know. Im 90% sure it will just be missions you can choose from. But I still have 10% hope
After 4 years, the sim still doesn’t accurately record takeoffs/landings and will randomly delete your logbook and controller settings. My hope for a proper career mode is less than zero.
There used to be this really nice add-on for FSX that you had your own company and you had to buy a plane, set your prices for the different classes of seats and their meal cost. And when you fly you control when food and stuff goes out, the air hostess would do their announcement. When you land the people would cheer or screen depending on your landing, if too much turbulence they would scream, and upon finishing the flight you would get reviewed by customers on how the flight was. It was an awesome add-on. Would be so cool if someone did that....I never checked if they did one for 2020.
@@Humza1that was fs passengers the developer also made some really cool addons for Orbiter 2010 sadly he dissapeared suddenly from the forums and I fear the worst.
I am going to buy it, but I expect scenery glitches, as the Bing maps base is still pretty iffy in many places at this point. 2024 would have to see a significant improvement of this map.
There are only a few things that really matter: Will the default aircraft fly decently? Will the current twitchiness in pitch and yaw, especially on the ground, be addressed? The most important thing about a flight simulator is the core effects of elevator, aileron, rudder and inertia. So far very few default or addon aircraft get anywhere near convincing flight behaviour. You can tell this by videos showing aircraft jerking left and right down the runway in MSFS 2020. What happened to the hundreds of aerodynamic data points? The fact is that flight behaviour has barely improved since FSX. I hope they get it right this time.
I agree.. I was surprised when I first played FS 2020 of just how twitchy the plane could be and overly responsive. Especially traveling down the runway.. it seems the physics are a bit off to say the least. It would be nice to have this fixed. You can only adjust your sensitivity so low to counter it before it affects the actual way you fly the planes
@@BiffsEquipment MSFS doesn’t model the change in flight control responsiveness in relation to airspeed. I fly Cessnas a Pipers single engine aircraft and in reality, the yoke movement is much greater when flying short final and during flair. My landings in MSFS are atrocious; I’m all over the place by over control.
I tried out the helicopters and it was laughable. I've done a ton of rotor wing stuff in DCS, most of those perform seemingly very realistically. The UH60 is perfect. In flight simulator it was essentially an arcade game.
@@colinfitzgerald4332 do you fly with that take off and landing “assist” enabled in the settings? I turned mine off.. just so I had to do all the work myself with no assistance and I noticed that when I first took it off how much harder it was.. but I still enjoy the “battle” haha
@@BiffsEquipment I fly with the control settings with no assistance- most difficult for “realistic” flight. The Cessna 152 actually seems the closest to the real airplane out of the ones I have tried.
I hope they make trees in the cities less blocky.
The trees in cities and towns are awful, like something out of a dystopian future movie where nature has taken over
Where's new gameplay videos on this? It's getting closer and closer and I'm surprised there's no new footage or previews of this game.
Like a campaign type thing would be cool getting better planes and rank as you go. A digital job board
Cant wait for this version! Really looking forward to it. One thing that I would really want is to have the virtual Tablet inside of cockpit mirrored to my physical tablet on desk
In Australia, we can’t even get National Broadband in the country. Our download speed is still about 2.5 p/m.
Cannot wait for this, always wanted a proper career for missions to make it more fun!
If only Laminar and MS could collaborate, such as on VR (which I think Laminar does much better since you can operate systems and control the aircraft solely using VR wand controllers easily). That said my gripes with MSFS 2020 are largely these:
1. Lack of commercial airliner variety (even if not flyable)
2. Lack of well integrated Liveries (even if they are add on purchases)
3. Other players aircraft models dont render (picks a random model) unless you own it yourself (it should stream the external model and livery as applicable for proper rendering)
4. Live traffic models and liveries should better match the actual type and livery
5 MSFS in VR requires constantly switching between wands, keyboard (and physical controllers) because VR wands cannot be used for all functions, in particular actually flying the plane
6. Performance and Stutters in MSFS, very hard to tune for a consistent performance floor at cities and airports of high complexity at low altitudes
7. LOD radius has to be kept very low to keep performance floors reasonable|
8. Very hard to fix game launch issues, usually requiring full removal, delete, reinstall - many times monthly updates have wrecked my sim
9. Does not utilize enough available CPU cores in rendering (MSFS 2020), too much work done in a few key threads or even single threads that limit performance (world render thread splitting is something every game needs today)
10. Better support for ultrawide monitors to eliminate the fisheye effect. I have not found any way to fix this on my 49" ultrawide and it really impacts overall experience.
My main questions are 1) performance/loadtimes under 15min before i get into a flight 2) taking over already bought planes in the ingame store
This could be wonderful canvas for whole world system of games. Just add some sci-fi portal and you could go anywhere 😊like into the future and fight with sq42.😮
2 months to go ! ✈
I wasn't sure if it was a good idea to try to make a whole new flight sim just 4 years after the last one, that doesn't seem like a whole lot of time with how much it takes for new planes to be added or modded into the game. Especially if you pay for those mods and now you are going to have to start over entirely.
But if the technology is really a significant step up with fewer limitations, then that's exciting.
I heard all this in 2020 ;)
and msfs2020 was / is a top dog
It was one of the biggest games/simulators compared to the rest out there back then but isn’t the case anymore now that we’re getting ready for the real ease of FS2024. When a flight sim gets released in the 2030s the mentality will change and they will say that is the biggest game changer ever and the cycle repeats.
2020 is badass it was a massive step up. Sorry for your hateful life.
Msfs2020 delivered, which is why 2024 is so highly anticipated
Wow what an ignorant comment. MSFS 2020 was truely a ground breaking sim. You seemed to say that with disdain? MSFS 2024 I would say has at least 5 times the number people working on it and where as MSFS 2020 content wise wasn't too different to FSX, MSFS 2024 will feature a ton of new content far exceeding any prevous flight simulator.
Damn, 800 people. They aren't messin around. I'm really excited for this, and I don't get excited about much these days when it comes to gaming.
You mentioned EVERYTHING but the most important.... VR.....
Yup! I will never purchase a flight sim that doesn't support VR well.
it most def will have vr
@@shokwavxb already known that they have vr at launch, in several shots what he have seen of the in game ui, you can see the vr tab.
The press releases all say it will support VR. I assume its absence here means that there isn't anything known beyond that basic statement.
Well most important to you, but completely irrelevant to me 🙂
Personally I have way too many physical add-ons, gauges, switches etc which makes the experience enjoyable to me. Maybe the, what is it called “augmented VR” where you can see through the headset, might be a solution for me in the future. Anyway I think we just fly these sims the way we prefer.
Animals and being able to walk around is cool but what I would really like to see is having ALL the navaids in the world present so you can use real world charts.
I see from their mountain flying they still haven't fixed the horrible stretched textures on steep inclines, the late loading of such textures and the trees growing horizontally out of them. Also, given that they're shifting the majority of the client to the cloud have they given any assurance that the sim will be flyable when the inevitable and regular Azure outage occurs? I haven't seen anywhere what's going to be stored locally and what's going to be moved server side.
DCS World will be in serious trouble if MFS will properly implement military aviation and combat in maybe MFS 2028 / 2032. Still i hope DCS World will come to it senses and see the potential of a better rendering engine. More competitors is good for this niche market.
Owning a plane you always wanted and flying it and seeing the world is FAR out of reach for most of us I am very excited for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, VERY excited! 😁
I was disappointed when I went on 2020 to see if I could land a helicopter on the helipad of the hospital I work at and it was just grass (I think the giant “H” visible on the aerial maps would make it obvious and would register it as a helipad but maybe it’s not that advanced). Hopefully this will be better on 2024.
They weren't paying attention to your particular area
Did the area of your hospital ever receive a world update or heliport updates in the region? I ask because if there were no world updates, then that could be a reason. Also, if they did update the heliports in your area, maybe that hospital's wasn't prioritized for some reason.
It would also be cool if you buy the planes in game and it gains wear and tear as it is used.
I believe that some functionality like that will be available if you do career mode. In career mode, they want some kind of consequences to your actions. I don't know what happens in free flight mode, but I do believe that aircraft will get dirty. Have no idea if dirt will affect the aerodynamics of your aircraft.
Sure...Wanna see road traffic, weather radars
I want to be able to do maintenance on my aircraft
I sure hope trees snd vegetation moves according to the weather, its a important thing to give it that realism... They need to have a easy and automatic flyby camera too!! Also would be cool to be able to go do space mission to the moon and also be a UFO ship or Superman
Just exciting. I got lucky my small town put fiberoptic internet down my gravel road last fall. 😂
walk around first person view in msfs 2024 must be a visable character we all users can see during doing walk arounds or seeing them flying and interact in the sim or even walk in your plane as a gast in your plane who wants to fly with you for sightseeing and even speak to them
this makes the sim much more livingly like a first person shooter idea thats so much fun in multiplay combined in discord talking to eachother
Edit: I originally wrote a comment here saying that you can see your pilot walking around. Unfortunately, after watching the developer stream, it turns out that I am wrong.
@@tedsword we need to see each others character and either speaking to each other like in the game in Squad, also walking into there aircraft via a terminal where you can step of the plane where it landed if you wish so but not walking to there cockpit if the door is locked other wise you would interfere there procedures. like we act as if we are actually passengers.
@@tedsword if the pilot can here te conversations must be funny and like real if a passenger behave abnormal he can ask cabin crew to detain those or have silece that indivdual
Excellent video going through a lot of information. Nice one. I believe the tornados it was confirmed are only available in set situations and would not be part of live weather. The auroras phenomenon was originally scheduled for a 2024+ release but I believe that's been brought into the released version now. Internet speeds will need to be stable, however they've made efficiencies in the download process only downloading what you need, so this might not be as demanding as folks are making out. The real life air traffic definately works in MSFS 2020, I was constantly looking up real flights in flightaware, it was great to see, of course it can be better and I imagine a lot of flights was culled or missed off entirely.
Hopefully they add in the people jumping out the tower in this one
Earth Legs? Nice. Can I walk around inside my Plane!
ATC screws up the traffic pattern direction all the time. For example, if I'm approaching for landing on runway 25 from the northwest, it should tell me to make a *right* downwind for 25. Instead it instructs me to make a *left* downwind, which I guess you could do by overflying the runway but in my real life experience that's extremely rare and when it does happen ATC will say something like "cross at midfield, make left downwind 25". My guess is the ATC engine is looking at the airport database that says the pattern for 25 is left, but that's really only pertinent when the tower is closed.
@rver99, you are correct. The airport data has pattern information for each runway, and that runway information contains pattern altitude and whether it's a right or left pattern. Any problems you saw on 2020 will cascade into 2024 because they will use the same world.
The World Hub is scheduled to be reopened in Q2 next year. I don't know what it's going to look like (or if it's going to go into a round of beta testing before it goes public), but if it contains the ability to request work on certain airports, you may want to do that for the airports where you see incorrect pattern stuff like this.
All we need to know is if Dynamic Foveated Rendering (preferably Quad views) is natively supported
A genius product - making more money from constantly selling the same product
dont sound same to me
Back in the day when someone brought a new rig, they would be asked "But does it run Doom". Now it's going to be "But does it run FS 24?". 😂
If they manage to pull this off this game is going to be insane!
Where is this area in the video.. all your videos looks spectacular...
I wish that MS would make another train simulator. 😔
I would like the wing tips to disappear when flying in heavy cloud like they do
IRL.
I hope thermal soaring and slope soaring in sailplanes will work correctly from day one. Thanks. Laurie NZ 😊
I'm really undecided on this one. I have so many hours in 2020. I have lots of mods and even new add-ons like BeyondATC.
has there ever been a rumor of a return to Microsoft combat flight simulator? DCS needs some competition.
I doubt it. MSFS has always been a civilian sim, not a shoot 'em up.
@ObsidianAnt ! You forgot to talk about the clouds!
Great overview thank you from New Zealand
I was so surprised with 2020 feeling like it just released that they’re already coming out with a new one, wish all the planes I bought would transfer over!
Hopefully, the placement of the blue taxiway lights are no longer in the middle of the taxiway in 2024.
If you can walk around and (hopefully) inside ships and rigs, that could make for the worlds biggest game of hide and seek 🤣🤣🤣
The very first trailer I saw the oil rig and how detailed and traversable it was, I knew you could walk around right there. Jorg has stated yes you'll be able to traverse oil rigs and boats. What we don't know is how traversable, clearly only a limited area will be fleshed out as it's still a flight simulator.
Nice comprehensive video, thank you.
1. The third party marketplace addons, regarding the port to 2024, and them not being available immediately, has nothing to do with a “sign off”, or rather, that’s the least of the issues. 2024 is a new game, and 2020 addons will have to be ported, most likely devs will have to make changes. This is an unavoidable and very common practice. But you make it sound like devs just hav to tick a box to approve, which is not the case.
Second, correct me if I am wrong here, but I am pretty sure MS etc didn’t say that the FP view is going to be as DETAILED as a typical FPS. Though they said that it’ll operate more or less like a typical FPS.
For FPS - Quote: "Right now, we have every ship on Earth, right? Every ship on Earth sends us a transponder signal… you can land on every ship, and *it looks like a first person shooter environment.* I think we're in a new era of making games that I think are going to break new ground, from a scale and complexity perspective." - Jorg Neumann head of MSFS, in interview with PC Gamer: www.pcgamer.com/games/sim/flight-simulator-2024s-huge-ambition-means-you-can-now-exit-the-plane-walk-around-you-can-land-on-every-ship-and-it-looks-like-a-first-person-shooter-environment/
Also, we have already seen from the preview event that many of these areas are as detailed as a lot of FPS games.
For Add-ons - First Quote Quote: "We’re still making sure that everything works properly for the add-ons, and the team is focused on making sure there are no significant changes needed for them to work in 2024. That's part of why we're doing all the testing now with partners like Gaia. *The goal is that developers won’t have to update their content for it to work in the new version.* "
Second Quote: "First off, backward compatibility is something we said we're doing, so we are... we have some people like Gaia that work with us basically as a first-party developer, and we're using them to test the tools, make sure that everything works as expected, and they give us feedback back. Not everything was perfect, so the team is still working on making sure that there's no impact because *the whole point of backward compatibility is that you don't actually have to do anything; it'll just move over.* So, massive progress was made, but to answer the actual question-will the SDK be available prior to launch? For sure, just not quite ready yet."
From June Q&A: ruclips.net/video/cj4e1FhDhBE/видео.html
Regarding third-party developer sign-off - Quote: "Julie also emphasized that 2020 content will be available in 2024, but *developers must manually test and approve it.*"

Half of these promises will either not work or will never actually make their way into the final sim.
I hope palm trees don’t look like weird telephone poles and were able to eliminate the cockpit door panel when flying.
Regarding the cloud aspect: I wonder how folk in areas where cloud gaming isn't available will be affected? Will game be available or work properly?
Great video, thank you for your efforts!
I'd love to see this tech applied to a combat flight sim with a constant ongoing war online. I can imagine the server lag though! 😂
Wish they would add Pilot-Controlled Lighting (PCL) system lighting .!
I keep hearing that its a completely new sim. Although it will be super awesome, it's really y a way much better version of the same FS2020 sim or you would not be able to your FS2020 scenery, aircraft, and utilities.
Eh, that isn't the case. Just because Windows 11 can accept floppy disks, doesn't mean it is the same as Windows XP or older. Another one: Just because the Xbox Series X can play disc based games from the first Xbox...
@@charlie7mason He has a point. There is no way brand new sim was built from the ground up in 4 years. It’s an iteration of MS2020.

Really afraid for the thinner client thing. Id rather buy a 4TB SSD then having even more in the cloud and having to stream it.
Just hope they still give the option to have everything that is local now also in the new one.
Using a model globe of the Earth and a lamp I deduced the 4 seasons where a result of the Earth's orbit around the sun, because of the inclination of the Earth's rotational axis, when I was about 7 or 8 years old. My oldest brother insisted I was wrong because of the way they taught it in school implied the Earth itself wobbled back and forth to create the seasons. I set up my lamp and globe experiment to demonstrate why I was correct. He rarely argued with me about science again.
It would be interesting if they add something unique like you have to track and investigate UFO sightings 😅
Next week we will have a dev stream all about FS24
I think I'll sit back, wait and see. After all it's microsoft we are talking here.
Flight Simulator 2020 is an impressive accomplishment, but also rough around the edges. Its scope is huge, but bugs are common. The Control assignments system especially needs love, cockpit interaction without a mouse or controller is impossible. Some bindings are impossible to assign without external software. Also, graphics look great, but up close the illusion falls apart. I am looking forward to tesselation of ground features. Those canyons I love flying in will look fantastic.

VR day1?
real question is hardware requirements with VR... i have a top of the line rig right now... i'm hoping i don't have to upgrade.
Yes. VR is part of the core sim now. It will be there on day one.
@@belgeode love your channel. I'm worried about performance with VR. I only fly VR.
@@stachowi We won't know for sure but with the optimisations in place we know they are targetting the same minimum hardware levels which makes sense as it has to run on the same generation of consoles. What I can't answer is, if it will look any better for the same level of performance? Remember this new version has more candy and turning on Ray Tracing and saying VR sucks is a stupid way of measuing VR, so as always you have to use a bit of common sense. I suspect with tweaking you'll be fine.
@@dtrjones great answer.
With the improvements in AI, I really hope we get someone to develop a really good AI ATC simulator.
Some say....25% of world wide Azure compute was used to run the sim for this preview.
A dedicated ATC AI is the best use case of AI currently.
multi monitor? Will it still be an experimental or not at all?
Flight Simulator (2020) is....still....the biggest fight sim in the world by plenty of metrics (and among the most detailed, even given the limitations of photogrammetry, with all those free update packs). Considering 2024 is shaping up to be a pretty major technological improvement, there's no reason to think it won't immediately take the title. However, the greater dependency on streaming data isn't nothing, but considering FS2020 is....a rough experience playing offline (I say this as someone who actually owns the massive 10-disc "offline" release), and how many people can't or won't accept a +200 GB installation size, this is probably the least bad solution to those problems.
2024 Should be pleasing and I am looking forward to it very much so. The one thing that do make me wonder about is, will this new Simulator have Arctic and Antarctic regions free of small trees or any plant life? The People making the Simulator needs to take note of where the tree line ends in the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere. I have only been in the Canadian Arctic regions and in the Arctic there is no vegetation. It is a different world like I am sure the Extreme Southern Hemisphere is as well.
Everything? Okay, I'm in!
And if I'm disconnected from the cloud? No, I'd rather have everything on my computer.
No word about the UI? That is disturbing. The UI in complex games and simulations like this are always so disorganized and esoteric. The developers don't seem to care how haphazard it is as long as everything-- well, most everything-- is there. Somewhere. In fact it should be possible to have the whole UI descriptions and commands, organized of course, on a second or third monitor.
I really hope this turns out as good as it sounds, cuz they fixing all my gripes and adding a ton new stuff. Gonna make the game worth playing. So sick of the long updates, the glitches, etc. I’m glad they went this route, I just hope they did a good job.
I play every day almost. Not sure what gripes you have, nothing for me is a show stopper and it's a wonderful sim. MSFS 2024 will be even better.
@@dtrjones autopilot doesn’t work right. Atc doesn’t work right. Every time I want to play there’s a huge update. No career modes. Huge file size. Those are my gripes.
