So whats new in 2024 ?

[PIT_DEFENDER]

Is it just that they add careers right ? Cause now its all free roam only?

The careers will be one of the most obvious of the new features. Actually, MSFS 2024 will have a lot of major changes. From memory:
- 'Thin client': more of the terrain data will be streamed instead of installed directly onto your harddrive.
- Updates to the weather engine.
- improved terrains, including an advanced way to fake photogrammetry using AI, for countries that do not allow fly-overs to capture this data with aircraft.
- Hot air balloons.
- Aircraft skins expand and contact.
- Tires lose air pressure.
- New default aircraft -- I believe the A-10 will be one of them.

Any ATC 'improvements' at all?...

I have the game on the windows store... I hope there is just an option to download the entire thing. streaming textures was heavy on bandwidth

Terrabytes of changing data? Yeah, no LOL.

If they do have a "no DL" version, it will be like MSFS2020: no photogrammetry etc. Essentially FSX.

what a joke this all should have been updates (free) to this game which they promised to support, not buying it after they left msfs2020 in such a broken state with bad ai and vr barely working, poo BOO!

this cannot be update because it has entirely new engine

Will the new careers be several missions in a career or just one mission like the activities we have in fs2020?

They are referring to it as a 'Career Mode' so I doubt it would be restricted to a single mission type of thing.

Exactly its Microsoft they will make it 2 missions each xD

Who cares about MSFS 2024, the sim with added fluff? Not me.

[tigeogr]

I will say the question is, If we which we have the 2020 game are we able to play the new 2024 or do we need to pay again for this new one?! I all ready paid 120 Euro for the 2020 and if they will start like Train simulator every year a new one, I will show them the finger like how I did to TS, because buying a lot of DLC's and not been able to play, then....

We don't know everything yet, going by what the developers have said over the last year:
1. MSFS 2024 is a separate game from MS2020.
2. There will not be a free upgrade for MSFS 2020 owners.
3. I believe we can have both sims installed simultaneously if we desire.
4. Most addons created for MSFS 2020 will work in MSFS 2024.

I haven't seen any information yet whether Marketplace DLC licenses will carry over to the new sim. I also wonder if the two sims will each have their own Community folder; and if so, how that affects third-party apps.

2024 will be a new edition of MSFS just like every version before it has been since the start of MSFS.
