I love this game. Career mode is great but still way too many bigs. Often taking over 15-20 minutes to load a flight and occasionally puts your plane on helipad. Skiping segments in career bod has made the plane crash on load causing me to lose my plane and needing to start over. Very aggravating for how long this game has been out.

i really wanted this game to work and to have new planes but the controls are all screwed up i dont understand why it cant have the MSF2020 controls i waited a few months to see if anything would change and no it didnt change if your gonna get this game really think carefully about it because to me its no worth it until they bring back the old controls i dont think this game is really playable

Iv expected for this game for a long time. when i bought it i was super disappointed, the amount of bugs is INSANE. the game is unfinished, the graphics are somehow worst, and they took out many good things that were in the 2020 version, changing fuel for example is taken out for unknown reason, the control settings are more complex even tho the older ones were great. they added respawn if you crash, but when you do respawn the plane immediately do a cobra maneuver, goes to 0 mph and stalls.
unfortunately this is just a portion of the bugs i had,
i'm not going to talk abut career mode because there's twice the number of bugs there.
for now until they will play the game them self and see what they created and start fixing things, i wont recommend this game.

MSFS 2024 is a wonderful flight simulator, when it works. not if it works, but when it works. I had it for weeks and rarely came across any functional issues, then out of the blue I've been having trees load into the middle of an runway, Ive crashed into trees that were non existent, I've had issues with basic maneuvers and stopping in a plane. Microsoft needs to get the game to be functional, fully functional, before they release more "upgrades" and "features" to the game.
Overall, it's a fun game but it gets very frustrating very quickly when you cannot do the simple thing the game is designed and intended to do.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY. COMPLETE GARBAGE! I had hope the game would improve. Spending 5 to 6 hours on a single mission flight just for it to crash me when my wings are 50 feet or more away from buildings. TRASH!

so, if you dont disconnect your internet midway through the "loading languages" (which i waited 10+ hours for and it didnt move an inch) then it just wont do anything. disconnect your internet while its at that section then wait for the xbox popup then replug in your internet THEN you can wait for loading. what the fuck lol. if you get past all of that then its a decent game, i had a mid range lower end pc but can still get decent frames.

I had high hopes for MSFS 2024, but after spending time with it, I can confidently say this game is nowhere near ready for release. It feels more like an early Beta than a finished product.
Yes, the graphics are outstanding, and the world looks more immersive than ever—but what’s the point when the experience is riddled with bugs, crashes, and game-breaking issues? Basic functionality doesn't work consistently, and every update seems to break something new.
Aircraft systems are unreliable – Autopilot bugs out, avionics freeze, and essential controls fail randomly.
Performance is unstable – Even high-end PCs struggle with stutters, frame drops, and inexplicable lag.
Multiplayer is a disaster – Frequent disconnections, AI traffic issues, and sync problems make flying with others frustrating.
Bugs everywhere – From ground physics to flight models, so many elements feel unpolished or unfinished.
At this stage, MSFS 2024 is not ready for prime time. The stunning visuals can’t make up for an experience that’s frustrating, inconsistent, and unreliable. I expect major patches, but this should have never been released in this state.
Unless you enjoy beta-testing for Microsoft, wait before buying.

I don't understand how Microsoft have released such a buggy, poorly performing game. It has so much promise, but delivers so badly. Do not buy this! Buy 2020 and then get this in 2026 when it is finally out of "Beta"
