How much CPU and GPU power (how many FPS...) will all these new features cost?

They must have made optimization improvements, as it's still running on the same generation of X-Box Consoles.

I will guess and say it will be even better than 2020. They are talking about how they have optimized it a lot.. also think about the backlash if they release this and the world realizes that you need a 5090 or whatever to see what they are showing off.. it would be a huge disaster. 

And of course, this will run on an Xbox Series X. 

I assume a lot of the heavy lifting has been shifted to the cloud. Let's see if they talk about this later in the presentation.

Well I upgraded just prior to the release of MSFS in 2020. Probably time to do that again.

Yea, I have started the research process and will upgrade later in the fall.

I haven't stopped smiling since the beginning of this presentation. What a huge leap forward MSFS 2024 will be!

We're talking about raytracing and physics. Anyway... everything has to be very well optimized...

Loving the 30 new biomes with the correct vegetation. Major leap forward.

The Twin Otter is brand new. The model is made by inibuilds, but the systems and all that are made by Hans Hartmann and co.

The lack of applause is kinda annoying. These guys have obviously put in a ton of work, and even though I may not take advantage of everything added, this is absolutely incredible!

Wow, a completely new flight planner by WT!

[JonathanC 219]

Whoa! The flight planning tool looks incredible! And you can plan your flight on your phone on the train home from work?? and then come home and fly it?

[Juliett Alfa Romeo 586]

That Flight Planner seems very interesting....
