Wait, what? I distinctly recall that the 2020 version was supposed to be a 10 year game…

I'm pretty upset that this isn't just an update, but a new game. with all the DLC and mods in the old one and this game taking up over 500GB of storage. installing both is gonna be a real pain.

First one didn’t really appeal to me too much, but this update with “missions” and different things to do looks like I might have to grab it!

Not a fan of this decision. Considering they said in MSFS2020 that they planned to support the game for a decade, it seems very premature to release a new game like this, especially since it seems like very little has changed in the engine to warrant an upgrade to a new product.

I'm assuming this is going the Train Sim World route where everything gets brought forward into the next version, but there are exclusive features locked to 2024. Not a big deal if there will be a substantial discount for previous owners, but I think we all know what Asobo is going to decide.

are we finally getting replays in 2024?

I'm so excited for this! Doing SAR is going to be a blast. I hope they add some kind of career mode like OnAir

God damn was that a good trailer.

A bit weird since they said they'll be supporting the current iteration till 2030.

I put a 1000h into MSFS2020, surely I can reach a 1000h more on this one!

Feel free to post screenshots of your game when it drops in !flightsim@lemmyfly.org

Ok I know there are doing this for money but what's going to be the point of this new game? 2020 really set the bar high for flight simulators. If this game looks the same with more modes but hasn't improved the backend so it's better for 3rd party modders it's just not going to feel like a new game.

This can’t be real. Are they seriously doing this?

Is there a word to describe cumming in your pants, but in your brain? Cuz I just did that. My god that looks awesome and can't wait.
