Welcome to the MSFS 2024 forum

FlyingIron's P-38 still needs sorting out in FS2020. The autopilot in their EFB tablet behaves nothing like the same functionality for their Spitfire or Bf-109. I also get a very pronounced right wing rolling behavior in level flight in calm air, even with both engine operating normally and in sync as far as power and prop are set.

My FIL flew P-39's in the Pacific in WWII. They all thought it was the most stable platform of all the fighters. Counter-rotating props left no issues with torgue like single engine fighters.

What will 2024 bring to the table?

I was going to use this post to start a new thread. Hoqwever, I can't find a way to start a new thread in this forum.

I am interested in what 2024 will bring to the table. I don’t see how the visuals can be made much better, unless the trees and buildings are rendered more accurately and detailed. Even if they are, at what cost in processing power? Will we be reaching a point of diminishing return?

I have read that MS plans on bringing in more up to date Bing maps. I guess we will get to witness urban sprawl. What will be the resolution of mountains. This is where I see the biggest visual issues. That will require better satellite height and topographical measurements.

ATC and AI Traffic are areas where I can see possible improvements. However, third parties are already getting ready to provide ATC improvements. Will 2024 just incorporate these products, or will they backstab the companies who have spent years and money developing these products?

I have not tried any of the AI Traffic products like Just Flight’s offering. They are all focused on airliners and their schedules. Since I don’t fly airliners, I would be more interested in better GA and Military traffic. Maybe we will see this in 2024?

Real time weather has never, to my understanding, worked correctly in 2020. So maybe we will see improvement in the weather area. I would like to see seamless seasons, based on location. I have never been able to get REX Simulations’s seasons to switch automatically. So, true to life weather might be interesting. I would have to polish up my IFR training.

I don’t hold high hopes for VR improvement. I find the visuals to already be outstanding. What I would like to see is better interaction with the various cockpit switches and dials. Perhaps a more realistic ability to use a touch screen in VR? One can wish. I ordered a PointCTRL in January of 2023. He is only at April 2022 for deliveries. At this rate I will be dead before he reaches my number.

Anyway, this is one man’s musings. What else do you expect to see in 2024.

Fingers crossed that the actually optimize and make it run better on lower specs, I heard rumor that this might be the case. Also, you'd love DCS having formerly served as an airman.
