Did you see the launch of flight sim 2024?

Well, they decided to launch mostly via cloud, which greatly reduced my install requirements, however, it also didn’t work, and had input issues. The servers couldn’t handle load at launch(shocking).

They also added weird sounding AI voice over to everything that sucks.

Then, they promised backward compatibility with any aircraft purchased in 2020 and launched 2024 without a content manager or the said backward compatibility.

That’s only scratching the surface too. I think it should and would have been delayed if 2024 wasn’t in the title and Microsoft would have had to eat crow if it didn’t release in 24.

Shit, that blows. Make a decent product for over 40 years and didn't think to load test and have everything proper for launch. That's sad
