Wow… This looks amazing!

Probably an update on FS2020? Or a new standalone thing? Very excited regardless!

Edit:
New game instead of an update. Confirmed by Xbox on Twitter.

Sequel? Not an update for MFS 2020?

that’s right, a brand new sequel!

      Hope not… I expect most of the things they showcased to just be missions, or activities as they call em nowadays. Doubt they’ll touch free flight and just leave the realism up to the player with the assists like before. That seems logical to me at least?

      But who knows? We’ll have to wait and see!

      I am both excited and a bit worried as well. The kind of missions they show are really great. Some of those you can already do in MSFS2020 using the H145 with the action pack for example. I imagine those kind of third party missions will get even better once MSFS2024 supports such missions out of the box. I’m sure they will still accommodate hardcore simmers and the API.

    Well, I did not expect that. Could be a good thing if the main motivation was to redevelop core components to make them run more efficiently.

    My wishlist:

    • faster loading times
    • a simple, efficient menu instead of eye-candy
    • a better control bindings menu
    • better VR support, especially for cockpit interaction

    Aamir from FenixSim’s prediction on how the update will be compared to MSFS2020:

    No, this is why I’m saying it will be a free update to 2020. It will replace 2020. Customers on 2020 get a free core engine update and get pulled into 2024. All the 2024 content is locked up and if you want it, then you pay.
    But a service like this
    With servers and shit to keep running.
    No chance they want to run two platforms at once.

    Seems reasonable? Hopium it’s true…
