The bigger problem to me was the fact that they literally threw both male and female assets all in one. I cnt chose if I want male or female I have to scroll through the whole thing trying to find male faces or male haircuts because they are all just mushed together without separation from what belongs to who....because I assume a curly bun with hair clip can be male too...
Aye, UK here, just managed to finally get ingame. I must say, it does actually look a lot better than 20. The lighting on cities at night seems much better. They've also sorted the sound out.Just a heads up...for me it works now (germany). And on steam are a few UK users for whom it also seems to work now. Seems they fixed the issues over here. Long loading times are gone. Could just finish the first tutorials and proudly obtained my "private pilot license". Its fantastic...when it works!
Yeah, I am not a fan as well. The problem was a lot of stuff was saved locally in FS2020 and people complained about loading 200gigs over and over as soon as they patched or updated something. Now they trying it differently (stream basically everything in) to avoid this.
I'll give that a go, didn't even know you could set it, nice one
Have you thought of using Power Line adaptors? They work great in my house.I'll give that a go, didn't even know you could set it, nice one
I personally would prefer the loading of 200 gigs but only as my current set up is over WiFi, or having a ten metre cable go from the hub downstairs to up
Which I have done, but the cat keeps pulling it, which in turn pulls the hub down.
It's a bloody nightmare here
I'll set the cache.
Put simply... they transmit network signals through your existing electrical cabling in your house negating the need for a network cable but affectively giving you a hard wired connection.
What's that?

Nice one, I'll have a look into thatPut simply... they transmit network signals through your existing electrical cabling in your house negating the need for a network cable but affectively giving you a hard wired connection.
What is Powerline? | Powerline Adapter | TP-Link United Kingdom
Powerline products turn the electrical wiring of a home into network cables and transmit signals to every room.
I use TP-Link adaptors.
Thats strange. For me the game took over neraly all my control settings from 2020. Was quite impressed.
I think it's because I've updated the firmware on my controllers since I last used 2020. Don't know why it won't recognise the brake axis though - it insists it's a button, which makes braking a bit sudden.
You sure you mapped the axis and not a digital brake? For me also the brakes work (left/right separately.....otherwise taxiing would be a pain sometimes)
This gave me a much needed chuckle.
Sorted it now. I was using the 'scanning' function, which interpreted it as button 31 - the joystick seems to have an axis and a button in a single output there. Using the cog icon instead allowed me to locate the axis manually.
Do you have a 2020 shot? That would make a pretty stark comparison I think.Outstanding. Here at the back of my house is a field where I walk my dogs - photo taken last year. A random bit of ground in some unknown part of Scotland.
And beside it is a picture taken in FS2024 this morning when in free look mode as I flew over my house.
I can’t fail but to be impressed!
Nah, I don’t. I had to go hunting for my real shot as I couldn’t believe how accurate it looked. I showed the wife the FS2024 pic and she immediately recognised the location (I didn’t tell her it was from a game - held the phone back a bit
).
The asset streaming was always a thing - with photogrammetry turned off FS2020 looked pretty mediocre. You literally can't download everything out of the box unless you want a crappy looking game, even a 400GB install of 2020 was still streaming a ton.
I know, but I’m having all types of issues with huge chunks of cities slowly loading in that I never recall happening in 2020. It definitely seems more reliant on your connection speed than 2020 was. Maybe the maps are higher fidelity or something?
A lot of the issues are obviously server side, by day 2 I was hopping from place to place and mode to mode with minimal streaming issues, whereas day one I was flying over green and brown smeared polygons.
It seems to be starting to work better for more people and we are starting to see how incredible it can look.Nah, I don’t.

said this was happening during play test. So they knew this was an issue and just said fuck it and released it anyway. That's even more egregious to me.
That's what a server test is for though so you can figure out breaking point. It seems they just failed to predict how popular the game would be on day one.What's crazy is
You know we still have a soft spot for you Phil, right?
. The checklist (although you can skip it) really adds to the immersion of doing things by the book.
Agree with all of this, and I’m at a similar place.It seems like all the problems have finally gone away as I've now had 2 days straight even at peak time with no issues.
This game really notches up the graphics and looks amazing on my PC. It also performs a lot better than MSFS 2020 did, so making it multi-threaded really looks like it's done a world of good for performance.
Of course there are janky bits in the photogrammetry but that's not the simulators fault but rather than data they're using.
Having the ability to get out of your aircraft and go for a walk really adds another dimension. The fact that when you're walking around it doesn't look like an absolute turd but actually quite believable is such a massive achievement. Just having a fully realised world which you can walk / fly around is insane.
I was having a few remaining issues with my identity which fortunately sorted themselves out yesterday evening. This allowed me to start playing Career mode and it's great fun. Given how close these aircraft are to their actual real-world counterparts, I would say I now happily start and maybe fly a real Cessna 172 with all the dials and knobs
I've passed my private pilots license now and am able to start with the missions. It is addicting playing it and wanting to keep progressing on with learning the next type and passing more license types.
So far, ignoring the initial disaster of launch, this has really impressed me. It keeps pulling me back which FS 2020 never did aside from being an occasional digital tourist.
I haven't even done any of the challenges or photography stuff yet. I'm really looking forward to making more progress and will post some nice pics when I get a chance.
Doesnt do this for me on gamepass.
Had nearly exact the same "incident" today. Very short grass airway....I am coming in with my usual overspeed of 80-90 knotsWell, did my first mission after getting my licence - taking a daughter and her dad up for a sight seeing tour that included the town he grew up in.
Actually felt nervous as they got on the plane with me (they are actually there!).
Everything went brilliantly until the landing. Lined up perfectly, touched down perfectly. Only too fast. And I forgot to power down the engine.
I could only watch in horror as - despite foot down on the brake - my Cesna did not slow down and raced off the edge of the runway, ploughing head first into a tree.
Oopsie?
....realizing on the airway that this was maybe a bit too fast for the brakes. Ooopsie! Thank god the game is quite lenient with it. I guess in real life my career would have been over now.
