Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Development Update - Live

[micstatic 4,464]

The confusing part to me is why would they support 2020 until 2028 if they also said everything would be compatible with 2024?

For the people who will refuse to upgrade right away I guess.

So the next sim is coming in 2028.

I doubt everything but just the things they can back port due to the new engines.

For the people that want some time before upgrading. I believe it's easier this way, less noise is created.

I hope someone can interview them tomorrow on the weather upgrades like visibility, haze etc. They didn't quite answer the two most important questions regarding height of supercells and visibility depiction due to haze/humidity.

I didn't like how they dodged the visibility question.

Ans as suspected, they also quietly removed / avoided promoting that tornado / weather research "game mode"  (from the very first trailer last year) which appeared to have dangerous weather. I guess the "weather research" is out and "Arial Advertising" is in...

Jorg already answered this question as they are in active discussions with MeteoBlue.

No details on flight model improvements. No details on weather improvements. Very, very surprising.

Yeah same reply as ever. We got 5 months to go and they are in 'active discussions'. Yeah right.

They started the presentation to show of how CFD works with many more and flexible data points.

We have got charts in the sim by default.  This is unbelievable!

Very detailed charts.  But not Jeppesen charts.
