Jorg Neumann On The Future of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 - TechRaptor Interview 

I had fun landing on the driveway at the farm where I work. The boss even recognized the place!

Awesome interview thank you. next time tell him they should make a standalone (Microsoft Combat Simulator) using Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 technology to rival DCS.👍🏼

Good job, thank you

Great interview

Very good interview thanks. I would have liked to know if he plans to simulate volcanic eruptions in real time which are a disruptive factor like the weather

I understand them wanting to appeal to those who aren't interested in a realistic experience flying in the system, but I'm much more concerned with realistic ATC so IFR navigation/procedures can be replicated (including things like air-filing FPs/alternates) as well as bringing back the "Previous Situation" feature that X-Plane (and FS9, for that matter) feature. It's a PITA to have to start each flight "from scratch" rather than being able to pick up where you left off in the last session, whether that's starting up where you shut down, regardless of location (with the option to update real world time/weather), or simply going to a "pause mode" where you can shut the program down and when you re-start, you'll be right where you were (the same HDG, ALT, speed, local time/weather, which would have to be "static") when you shut down the program. Further, it would be nice to have a "virtual relief pilot" mode where you can, for example, do an overnight flight where you conduct the flight to the cruise phase, leave the sim running, go to bed (during which time the relief pilot or FO could handle ATC calls/instructions). When you get up, you could resume control of the flight. It would be even better if you could let it run until a pre-determined point (such as TOD) and pause there until you resumed control (In case you oversleep or simply want to delay retuning to the flight). I know some things like this can be done indirectly (such as speeding up the sim rate or skipping to different flight phases), but it can be a pain and less immersive.

A lot of people seem to get fired up about things like the weather API not being opened up, limitations around past weather etc etc etc, and I think it's worth just stepping back a moment and looking at how far the MSFS has come since the FSX days and then project that forward and just imagine what the future can hold as everything from cloud architecture to desktop CPU's and graphics cards continues to evolve at such a rapid rate. But also don't forget, there are intellectual property assets that Microsoft has clearly spent a ton of money developing, so why would they open all of that up for competitors to utilise in their own products? At the end of the day, Microsoft needs to make money with it's products, so if that means keeping some elements under covers, then you just have to live with it.

Great interview. It is unfortunate that the sound is so terrible.

Please don’t try to make multiplayer compatible with MSFS2020 but instead redesign the multiplayer code completely so that it becomes reliable. For me, flying with friends is the most enjoyable part of simming and the experience right now is very frustrating.

So many missed opportunities in this interview. I wish it was done by someone with more knowledge about flight sims and MSFS 2020

Just this past week I received a new Pimax Crystal VR headset, and installed my own version of MSFS for the first time. When you first see that cockpit in 3D in a Cessna 172 if your brain is not blown away, there is probable something wrong with you. BTW - The Toolbar only works in Cockpit view when in VR. You have to use the keyboard commands to get back to both the cockpit view and the Toolbar. The same for Pause when in the external views. Tore my hair out on that one. And the Internet blogs are full of wrong answers. You must get "Data/Online Functionality" turned on too. The sim installs with it turned off which means a lot of stuff does not work including the store and Content Manager.

Weather needs to be last 24hrs.

will it be multicore supportive?

looking so forward to MSFS 2024!!!!!!

i'm hoping we can change the weather in a saved flight ,now we can't and real fog and seasonal textures

All very nice, but ADD the option to confirm simulatore to close if someone hits by mistake the right-top 'windows 'X on PC This can ruin an1-hour or an 15-hour flight There have been 3 years with this agony at the back of our heads

As A long time flight simmer of over 20 years I only recently bought fs2020 and I'm blown away by the level of realism, I was shocked to learn there's already a new one on the horizon and I have to ask why? Surely it would make more sense to keep updating the current version as I don't expect there will be that big of an increase in graphics or other technology, given the performance demands of flight sims it seems like the cost of hardware it makes sense to allow for new users to join the community as cost of compatible hardware reduces.

Please continue to make the flight sim less green. Flight physics is number one for me and how the world looks is number 2. Number 3 is have all systems functional in the aircraft especially in the g1000 🥺

Make ATC actually follow your filed flight plan altitudes lol...

Pls, pls, pls.. remember about weather radar!

Msfs 2020 still not optimize I dont understand why they doing this ?

Can Microsoft create a simulated world where my wife and kids still love me?

To offset the weather by 12 hours would be awesome. I fly in the evening or at night and would like to do a dayflight in my current location.:)

I don't care for QUANTITY of updates; I care for QUALITY of updates.

Getting quite disillusioned with MSFS2020 on Xbox (X) as for the last few updates it’s become so unreliable and crashes a lot. MP updates have become really lacklustre, most the airport addons can’t be used on Xbox as it causes black avionics or crashes. Feels like MSFS has more or less given up trying to fix even the most basic issues and some bugs have been there for over a year. For example, on console the model matching is completely broken even for the inbuilt planes, the F18, one of the most flown aircraft according to MSFS always appears as an A320 really spoils the immersion. I think the simulation just doesn’t work on console anymore I spend so much time restarting the sim

I just bought the premium edition less than 6 months ago for over a hundred dollars. Now there is already another sim in the pipe. Sadness

Wait, MSFS can't even picture weapons?

Msfs is a flight data scraper for AI controlled/ autonomous in near aviation future

40 updates and still no seasons. Is it really that unimportant through Asobos eyes in a flightsim!!??

Jorg/Asobo: “Weather is a core part of our simulator, and we will strive to make it as accurate as possible.”Also Jorg/Asobo: “We are going to limit the weather API to rain intensity only.”

"MSFS 2024 is because MSFS 2020 failed" - Probably jealous Xplane fanboys are saying this after seeing their beloved XP12 (ie XP11.6 beta) failed with the release.

MORE REALISTIC MILITARY BASES FOR US MILSIM FOLKS.

Most problematic issue about MSFS: Flight Physics. Number of questions about it during a 25-minute interview: 0.

hmm 10 years.... they lasted 4 years before another money grab.

FS2024 better support multi threading and not just add animal and freaking boat libraries to the sim... it's pathetic.
