I tend to agree. all I am interested in actually in the v24 is the ‘Enhanced Tree Diversity’ and ‘Full Seasons’.
maybe the 3D rocks, but they should be everywhere to justify the upgrade 
Maybe we’ll have trees that aren’t 10x too tall. 
Makes it hard to land on some of the grass strips I’ve flown into IRL, lol.

Finally a proper official Career Mode! I was waiting for this for years.

Same here. I’ve been using external software but it just isn’t the same.
As a farming simulator player I am excited for crop dusting, but SAR and heli cargo stuff as well as firefighting also sound great.
And of course the graphics in that trailer look awesome.

I love career mode on flight sims, it gives purposes and objectives, and finally ms/asobo had the balls to do it. ofc its as option and you can always fly in other way. Its sad that for many years when someone ask that feature in a flightsim was always steamrolled and crushed by hords of gatekeepers that a flightsim should only have sandbox mode. The problem is that manytimes communities not understand the word “AND” and only think that OR you have sandbox mode OR you have career mode, never understand that in the flightsim you can have both and you choose what you want.
Fun that in the times where we more and more try to fight to get as more variety of multiple things, like sexual orientation, unique identity, etc etc, exist areas where sometimes we do inversed way, like personal cars colors (where 99,99% of the cars are only white, black, gray and red, when 80% match only between white and black) and in flight sim when many times devs only try to do another C172 or another A320…
Nice to see MSFS2024, sad that its not an dlc for the existing one, as i not started in flightsims since yesterday, i’m starting to guess that whatever promisses they will do i start to see like 60% of the current addons not compatible only because they decided to change a bit the name of the internal variables, and like 30% of the addons, the devs already died or never go to update them because only focus on new addons.
msfs2020 + neofly is like +/- msfs2024 when you not have issues with addons not compatible with the new version.
That is big IMHO (and not just for video games ). Years ago, before DCS + VR got me to dust off my PC, again, Air Hauler on MSFT FS was where 99% of my time was spent [on that platform].
Asobo breaks down their latest trailer for 2024 and provides details per image.

There is a replay program integrated into 2024 - also a new route planner.

‘we can now get out of the aircraft and walk around the aircraft’ that can be the sole feature that can convince me to buy.
I dont care that much about the career / missions but more about the overal ‘interaction’ with the sim world.
I mean I hope that at start of the flight we will spawn in front of the aircraft finaly … only then they will see my money

Yes the pre flight checklist thing - didn’t think I would ever see that so will wait and see.
Making the whole ground 3D as well…hopefully wont need a 7080 to run it.

The greatest thing about MSFS 2020 is that it is designed to be playable on a XBOX1S and plays beautifully on a XBOX1X. The discipline it takes to make a game consistent across all three platforms is a limitation I am grateful for and think PC players should be as well. If 2024 plays passably on a OneS, it will rock on a 3080 semi-current generation PC.
I love this aspect of XPLANE. The problem with XPLANE is that once you step out, there’s only some rather ugly autogen to explore. I agree @NEVO. Flying into the wilderness, landing, stepping out and seeing a mule-deer is going to make me eternally happy. Watching our planes get muddy as they plop around in real terrain will be a hoot. Landing on real slopes, snagging real rocks with the skids, seeing the seasons change; yeah, it’s awesome. Unlike you I do like the careers though. They are a nice way to experience the creativity of the scenery designers at their peak effort.

Just watched the stream and it is much more than just a breakdown of the trailer 
They went long into explaining a number of upcoming features and improvements and also invited some of their partners (Got Friends, Working Title etc).
It was great to see people’s faces behind the well known big names in the MSFS community.

At work we are experimenting with xplane 12 with a view to putting it on the F4. At Aberdeen lined up in the 737-200 I saw three individual deer run across the airfield
