    Looks incredible, Asobo took what they've had with 2020 release and dialed it to 11.
    Some say it's too soon for a new installment, but developers have confirmed that 2020 additional content purchased on the marketplace will transfer to 2024.

    I'm so excited, I love flying and some day hope to have a PPL (private pilot's license), but until then this is the next best (not to mention much cheaper) thing to experience general aviation all around the world.

    It looks good but I cringed a bit at the "VIP charter service" which is, well, "controversial" nowadays.

      You can always drop the passengers off at the nearest active volcano.

    I wish Microsoft was more interested in VR. I know it requires a supercomputer to run right, but with some performance optimization it could still be an amazing experience on Xbox. I know MFS2020 has VR support on PC, but Microsoft in general doesn’t seem to care enough, and I understand why, but it’s still a shame.

    I am hoping that if this is a separate product, it sits beside the existing flight sim. They had discussed supporting it for at least 10 years before release, I'd hate to see that not be true....

    Having said that it looks pretty interesting!

      Or at a bare minimum, that any purchased DLC content transfers to the new one. If that's not the case and it's a separate product, this is going to be something of a shitshow.

    This looks pretty exciting! It's nice to have missions, rather than just airport to airport.

    I'm going to wait until I see if they've discovered the magical technology of background updates for this one.

    My biggest complaint with MSFS is I fire it up so rarely that I need to launch it an hour before I want to play it, which means I just never play it.
