SOH-CM-2025
Last night I was digging through some backup drives for something which, of course, I never found. I did come across one drive that was a flight sim backup. I found airplanes, scenery, side apps for everything back to FS9 (2004). I had backup of P3D starting with P3D V3. I even had an early attempt at high res scenery that I bought from PCAviator. It covered the entire country.

I thought the timing was interesting, I am planning on deleting MSFS 2000 today from my flight sim computer. I have a 4 TB M drive for the Simulators and it has less than 500 Gb left on the drive. 2020 just duplicates a lot of the stuff on 2024.

Since the last updates I have found MSFS 2024 to be pretty solid in Free Flight, which is all I fly. I am not buying anything that isn't MSFS 2024 compatible.
 
Yeah, I’ve gotten to the point with FS2024 that I haven’t been flying FS2020 at all anymore. Almost all of the sceneries and planes from 2020 are solid now. It’s almost up to what was promised to ship last year.

I think once SU3 ships we’ll be at the point where people can safely shift over. (At least as far as free flight goes… I’ve been sticking to NeoFly for career stuff since I can fly all my planes.)
