I'm really close....

Hi Lou,
today I am sort of in the same boat as you with 24....but it loads up everytime just fine and lets me select departure airport and destination. But when I select aircraft....it either does a CTD without any information provided or it just sits there forever.
I did leave it in that second state for 2 hours while I depressurized :)
But at least 20 only needed a small NAV update and it worked fine.

I am debating on doing a reinstall of 24 just so i get something back from my aviator package beside the few hardware gimmicks. Or simply bin the whole thing for now, until the reports on stability etc are improved.
This is an abomination of a software release, no ifs ands or butts about it.
And if one has been around FS from Microprose/Microsoft for 40+ years such as I have, you have seen some more or less stable releases. But this thing does take the cake.
 
II wonder if the program is hardware sensitive. I will admit that it is a moving object on shifting sands. I have found it to be very stable which surprises me as I have a slow and unreliable internet situation. What does drive me wild is the control bindings which seem to be fluid. Also the autopilot setting seem to be a moving target, they will work for a while then not. These are mostly necessary for flight test to get stable values for a couple of projects I am working on.

I wonder the same thing, hardware sensitive. After my initial problems, mine has been fairly stable. Loading and control bindings have been good, however, my X-56 throttle quadrant has been sending a lot of wierd, uninitiated button presses. My biggest, everytime one is the parking brake comes on everytime I lower the gear. Totally different and far apart buttons. I am getting ready to rearrange my desk so I can mount my Honeycomb Yoke and Throttle Quadrant.

I have a backlog of screenshots to post, as I've been trying out different aircraft, many of which were unflyable, for me, in 2020. Since I am basically a GA low & slow flyer, I haven't mastered all the advanced stff, like autopilot (in 2020-2024) or even the unusable GPS, in 2024, which I used a lot in 2020. Used the autopilot in FSX/P3D with no problems.

Well, the hardware discussion is ONE of the items that back up my Xbox theory. It sure seems like they are tuning it for one piece of hardware with no regard for any other. Maybe the short quick money is with Xbox and they'll figure out that it's the simmer that keeps coming back for more in the long run. Or maybe the whole thing will run the same route as Microsoft Flight. Problem for us is that now we need their servers to run the thing (unlike FSX, but maybe that's part of their plan). Watch us all wind back up on FSX. lol

Well, it was really nice to get some back country flying in Idaho today in FS 2020. Another point I noticed, I don't think we are getting the performance boost we were led to believe in FS 2024 based on the flight I did today in 2020. Don't get me wrong here, I really hope they can straighten that mess out in 2024.

Honestly, I don't think that performance in 2024 is worse. On the contrary actually. It's just that you have to differentiate in the settings. Both in Adrenaline (AMD), Nvidia CP (Nvidia obviously) and the sims.

For me personally, it's different stuff (control bindings mainly, and the location of the community folder that they have to keep their effing mits off). In other words, I buy one of their beta's, they do not get to change my settings.

*Rant mode off*

I seem to see better performance in 2024 than I did in 2020, and I have an older system with all the MSFS2024 settings as high as they will go. Also so far so good that I haven't had any of the CTDs that I've read about. The only thing I do see in that regard, is occasionally it will hang at the very last screen before it quits to desktop. When that happens, I just bring up my Steam Library page and tell it to "Stop" MSFS2024.

At this point, I'm disappointed that it was released with so many basic free flight necessities that are missing and non-functional, but I'm not at the point I was early on where I was ready to drop back to MSFS2020 at any minute.

I'm also hoping that my missing 9 MSMP aircraft and missing 36 MSMP airports show up.

This morning I was again (fifth time) awarded the new user trophy, allowing me to recreate all the bindings and preferences from scratch. Some Axis and Ohs seem to not work properly, I had thought this might be a decent workaround.
 
I have had some success with the program...but there are some things that just drive me nuts. The nearly constant disconnect from live traffic (with the accompanying ding and on-screen message) is the one thing that finally drove me to uninstall this morning. I'll stick with 2020 for a month or two until Asobo decide that this really isn't a game, but a simulation with game like aspects. I haven't tried Career Mode, but from what I'm seeing on other websites it's really not worth the investment in time. I'll stick with AirHauler 2 and MSFS2020 for now.
