Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024: Everything We Know So Far 

If you want to see awesome career mode gameplay from a real world pilot that has done it all. Check out Mover's awesome video! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3e2a0vrPo8A.html

Hey Jeff, great vid! It was awesome to hang out and share a beer at this amazing event!

Imagine Microsoft came with a open worldwide car game like this!

My GPU is getting very nervous watching this

FS 2020: Sky was the focus FS 2024: Ground is the focus

Microsoft/Asobo went hard on this. They are putting triple A level of effort into this.

Pleasure hanging out Jeff! Great vid

never clicked so fast on a video before

Real life looks almost as realistic as Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 😂

That career mode/progression is all I wanted out of a flight sim. It's feeling me with the same feeling of playing a game like X4 Foundations where I start at the bottom, work my way to owning multiple aircraft in my company, then eventually doing what I want to do while the rest of the company is paying for it. If it's in depth enough for me to take a flight to Vegas to walk around taking in the sights and being able to see my company planes taking off or coming in, I'm so there.

21:16 That guy taking the roundabout tthe wrong way 🤣

The best in the biz! Great video dude, was a pleasure being at the event with you.

Veteran flight simmer here - I am 100% on board with certifications and exams. That makes it feel more authentic, it’ll give prospective pilots a look into the PPL process, and passing exams / obtaining certs will give players big doses of feeling accomplished.

Great video, Jeff!

I think my pc died after seeing the graphics comparisons

Hey Jeff! I’m a pilot from Canada. I’ve never been to the Grand Canyon but I flew over it on a Calgary - Cancun leg. Even from up there it’s an incredible sight!

The amount of technology in this game is insane! It's so great to finally see a AAA game actually push the limits of gaming again!

Imagine sims 10 years in the future - We might have Earth Simulator 2034, all of Earth, fresh to e explored from the comfort of your PC

I cannot even explain to you how huge the test/preview of products in the marketplace is before purchasing. That’s huge! That increases the integrity of the developers and allows people like me to actually test something myself instead of looking up reviews on RU-vid

Soooo excited about this. I hope the sim still looks good on older graphic cards as not all of us can afford 4090s. :/

Imagine, one day, systems will be so powerful that it will be possible to have this, combined with gta style games, cars, boats and hunting like a simulator, steep kinda stuff.... Take a helicopter up a mountain, ski down, hunt and load it in an offroad vehicle etc...

Just when I thought the old sim was so beautiful....this new one is insanely BEAUTIFUL

What most impressed me, is the career mode. They really went all out on this. Also my graphics card is crying.

Im so excited. At 30 years old i absolutely love flying in sim. Was telling my dad i was interested in getting my ppl and he was genuinely supportive. If ill ever do it, who knows. But im glad he wants to come over and hop in my sim to see what ive been learning on my own.

It’s not A.I. ship tracking, it’s real life ship tracking using transponders. If there is a ship docked near your house, it will be in the simulator as well.

The before and after shots are a massive improvement! Just amazing what the new technology can do

My GPU watching this: 👁️👄👁️

Amazing meeting you finally Jeff! Awesome event and love the video!

my pc is already screaming for help and i don’t even have it yet

WOW! Just incredible! Thanks for the video, looks amazing!

This right here proves that big companies can work together to create a beautiful virtual world. I hope they keep it going.

I'm sorry, is that Jeff with Airforceproud????? Two of my favorite youtubers growing up, I can't believe it

Let's goooo! Excited for this one. Nice to see previews are starting to be allowed! Exciting times

You could probably convince me that some of these shots were real photos

This is the simulator that 10 year old me could only dream of. Super excited for this!

Nice! Can't wait for the vlog to drop.

That picture on M.T. Fuji was incredible

Awesome Jeff! I must say I haven't clicked on a video this fast in a while, but this is just sending my excitement levels through the roof!

Improving the visual is good, but what about the rest? Will we have a better ATC? Multiple controller voices? Realistic and fast speech? Ability to declare an emergency? What about flight dynamics? Will they improve this terrible issue that forces to apply full rudder when you have 5 kts crosswind? Many details to fix before thinking of the visuals.

It literally looks like how it went from fsx to msfs2020 unbelievable cant wait. Didnt think it was possible to really get any better and the looks after 4 years look way better after almost 2 decades.

Its really crazy to take a look at Farming sim 25, vs Flight simulator 24, and how the flight Sim has better ground/vegetation than a game based on farming and vegetation. Puts in perspective how CRAZY this game is going to be.

It was a pleasure to meet you at this event, buddy! Fantastic video you made and I look forward to seeing you again next time!

I love that developers nowadays are finally letting creators get hands-on experience first to give us honest, transparent feedback Also, the trees look so much better. They were such a disappointment in 2020

when 2020 came out I switched from flying big irons to GA and wow I am so glad I did - 2024 is going to be such a treat for GA flyers - people in the big irons will miss most of the cool graphics

I'm scared. 4 times more detail = 4 times more polygons = way higher GPU load. I'm not sure multi core optimization will help a lot, since all work regarding polygons is sent to the GPU. It seems I need to collect money for 4090. Also, the part that is more important for me is the LOD, which is still catastrophically bad, all the nearby mountains are completely blurry.

Looks amazing, down right awesome and dirty. All we need now is Combat Flight Sim to return and Crash Dynamics

Im personally psyced for the Cessna 404. I work for Cape Air and I work on and with the 402 a lot, sad to not see a 402 yet in the sim but Ill take the slightly longer 404 with geared engines anyday!

...Finally again. My prayers have been answered. Career mode with flight licenses. Just like before. So I had to buy the Collector's Edition straight away, and not "just" fly in the Game Pass like with the slimmed down 2020 version. I'm happy to support something like that^^ Thank you ♥

Standard Edition 79.89€ Deluxe Edition 109.99€ Premium Deluxe Edition 140.09€ Aviator Edition 219.99€ 😦

Ahhh I'm so excited for this. I haven't played Flight Simulator since like... 95? I was mulling over getting 2020 for a couple years, but once I heard about 2024 I decided to wait a bit longer. Thanks for the video. I always appreciate your thoughtful overviews.

21:16 Looks like they need to fix the traffic AI when entering roundabouts. Look at the car immediately switch directions when it entered the roundabout in the wrong direction. 😅

It's so amazing how it's a flight simulator at its core but they took the time to perfect the details on ships, terminals and cows

So with this then, will Mfs2024 be better optimised for PC I have a pretty mega PC but mfs2020 has had its ups and downs with performance, will this game perform better and be less demanding on PC?

Jeff, amazing breakdown of 2024. Great job!!

20:53 We got capybaras in a flight simulator before GTA 6

you will need a video card that cost like a good used car

This is not what I was expecting..I'm speechless. Looks like I'm gonna have to upgrade my computer now.

THE REAL GTA 6

Geez I hope they haven't just gone for scenery again. Almost none of the guys with full rentable Sims went 2020, a few in Sydney are still on FSX because 2020 is just too unstable. Let's not forget the first year of fs2020 where we lived without wind! I may as well have hooked up the honeycomb to a train simulator. Soooo many bugs I am very very much hoping are resolved in this!

Yes it is a "giant leap " . The new version looks like a massive improvement in all the rendering and dynamics with the much needed physics that was always missing. It's making the older 4 year old version look really ordinary , especially with the depicted foreground detail pixilated meshing. It was like MS was giving customers a temporary fix /version on the older sim all while in the background they worked on this superior version. It just took 4 more years to come to fruition .

god november cant come faster

If they are using i9s and RTX 4080 Supers with 64gb of Ram, and still getting the stutters I've seen in most of these preview videos, then I suspect quite the backlash from the community. Keep in mind there is no GSX running, they are using default airports, default planes, and no traffic.

Some of this stuff is insane. My PC is going to explode lol

I seriously am looking forward to your content on here with this Sim Jeff. I can't wait

Interesting that they are calling it 2024 when we're almost done with the year. You'd think they'd give it a 2025 version for marketing purposes.

This looks absolutely incredible, wow.

Man talk about a massive difference!! 2024 looks outstanding! Incredibly detailed and very accurate!

So about 30s about flight model improvements. Cessna felt solid? That’s it. This is the new flight sim we’re talking about and all anyone can talk about is everything and anything else but flying itself.

Sim of the year coming up

Great video showing the 2020 vs. 2024. This is exactly what I wanted to see. I'm very excited. Thanks!

I hope it runs well on the Series X but considering how flight sim 2020 ran I don't have the highest expectations.

24:12 "Glass scratches" - Maybe whoever you talked to didn't explain it well, but this is almost certainly a texture. Probably the normal map but maybe also roughness. It's not a texture maybe in the sense that the effect isn't baked into the diffuse, but it would be crazy to try to do this procedurally, when it can be achieved very efficiently in the PBR materials.

Can’t wait for msfs2024 to be released

Boom. Still severe micro stutters 17:31, but hey. Look at those giraffes and cows. Amazing. If you only knew how many times I have asked for that in my A320 on final. "Damn, the performance is lagging. I wish they added some pretty cows to compensate for that".

I just hope they keep the feature on start-up when you get the "press any button to continue" and you press every button but nothing happens until you restart a couple times. Its like playing the lotttery, maybe it will let you play, maybe it wont, its anyone's guess!

are those stutters i see ?

so many booms! Very excited

Hopefully they did these things: 1. Fix crash to desktop / overheating problems 2. Reduce load times 3. Fix ATC to be less robotic (and more accurate) 4. Fix the taxi lines to be accurate 5. Fix the flight physics and simulate crashes 6. Fix the inop's in the cockpit 7. Include Preflights (walkarounds) Nice to haves.. G1000+ flight plan loading with foreflight/garmin pilot (just like the real world), ATC with accurate dialog (nobody says switch to 121 decimal 5), on approach don't have me climb to 25000 feet just to have me descend to 2000 ft 3 seconds later Looks like only a few of these will be addressed. They did focus on improving graphics and detail which I never thought was an issue in 2020. The reason I stopped playing 2020 was due to load times

The developers at Asobo have clearly put a lot of care and talent into this new installment. I am amazed by the quality of the realization of FS 2024 to offer an unparalleled flight experience. The realism is taken even further, the images are worthy of paintings or watercolors, it’s stunning. The immersion is total thanks to this new opus. You will really need a valid excuse to leave your flight now😉😉. I can’t wait to get my hands on this FS 2024. Really, congratulations to the Asobo team.

walk around first person view in msfs 2024 must be a visable character we all users can see during doing walk arounds or seeing them flying and interact in the sim or even walk in your plane as a gast in your plane who wants to fly with you for sightseeing and even speak to them this makes the sim much more livingly like a first person shooter idea thats so much fun in multiplay combined in discord talking to eachother

I'm excited you showcased this, its bringing me bigger hopes for it

Cannot wait, this new sim is gonna be great

when i was a kid, and some time i lived with my grandparents, and when was close to go home, i did create my own calendar and drawing days gone for see how i close to see my parents and my home... that's was long long days. and this two month without 1 day so far will long, very long for me... i need this stuff here and now

I feel like my grandad (born in 1878) must have felt when he saw his first aeroplane about 1910! I started with MSFS 5, I can hardly believe where we have go to it's INCREDIBLE!

Man, Im super excited! THANKS JEFF!

I’m most stoked about the missions. 3 million missions that change daily? WOW. I hope there is a random button.

Can’t wait! Also can’t wait for the vlog!!

At first, I thought about staying with MSFS, especially during the earlier months since there's usually a lot of bugs, but 4 minutes in and I'm already impressed

I cant wait for MSFS 2024!!

I can’t wait!

My take on what they meant about the scratches on the glass was that wear and tear as well as damage is modelled on the aircraft and no doubt the scratches build up over time in career mode (probably option to turn off outside career mode) Then you can pay to have wear and tear/dirt removed along with any repairs.

It’s gonna be a crazy adventure!

Starting to bid farewell to friends and family now, theyre not going to see me for some time ! The hype is absolutely real

Damn I'm so psyched for this to come out.

Awesome Jeff, I am excited to see content on this channel from this new game cant wait!

Those comparison shots are awesome. It could turn into a hiking simulator. Imagine landing your bush plane on a gravel river bank, hop out and go for a hike and after that fly to another location

wow the lighting impresses me

That mount fuji shot was legit real life, if you showed me that picture I would not believe that is in a simulation

🤯 I'm so excited for MSFS 2024!!!! I love aviation and sim flying!!! going be nice to see you Jeff covering Vids on it, I enjoy any content you do where your behind a flightstick 🛫🛬🚁🛩

What an awesome review! This looks breathtaking. My comment and question is this: While I am excited for all the upgrades to be more sim-like, I am also concerned that it will be too complicated. I am an avid simmer, but I am 47 and I am not using this to learn how to be a pilot. While I love third-party add-ons, planes like PMDG are so complex and not what I am looking for. From what you have seen, will 2024 still cater to the aviation enthusiast who loves to do real-world flights in an A320 or 737, but without being too overly complex as far as systems go? In the same way that I used to love Madden until I felt like I needed to be an NFL coach to understand how to play the game. Again, awesome review and I can not wait for the launch!!
