Well, they decided to launch mostly via cloud, which greatly reduced my install requirements, however, it also didn’t work, and had input issues. The servers couldn’t handle load at launch(shocking).
They also added weird sounding AI voice over to everything that sucks.
Then, they promised backward compatibility with any aircraft purchased in 2020 and launched 2024 without a content manager or the said backward compatibility.
That’s only scratching the surface too. I think it should and would have been delayed if 2024 wasn’t in the title and Microsoft would have had to eat crow if it didn’t release in 24.
Oh they thought about it. And chose cost-savings/immediate sales vs a good product. Which, is on brand. 2020 had a rough launch too, though, and it’s a great sim(lite arguably) now. However, I will not allow that to be a pass to putting out an unfinished garbage product on release. I’m tired of these companies putting out slop with the promise of “just wait, I know you paid now, but we’ll actually finish this in a year.”
Did you see the launch of flight sim 2024?
No, what happened (gets popcorn)

Shit, that blows. Make a decent product for over 40 years and didn’t think to load test and have everything proper for launch. That’s sad
