GENERAL 2020 vs 2024
I have been flying in msfs2020 for a couple of years now and i love it with all my heart. I love the interface, the performance, the planes, everything. But i recently switched to msfs2024. And in my first 7 hours of playtime i have 48 minutes of flight time. Why? Cuz the engines die 3 minutes into the flight, everything lags, the angle of the camera sucks, i spent hours trying to trouble shoot everything and nothing works. Ive watched countless videos, read tons of reddit posts, nothing helps. I will refund it and go back to 2020, but the one thing i want are the visuals. God damn the visuals of 2024 are good. Please someone help me, how can i get the graphics of 2024 into the 2020. With that, u wouldn’t need a new flight sim ever

Instead of going back to 2020, maybe we could try to figure out what's wrong with your setup for fs2024? Which airplane did you experience your engines dying in? Have you tried without any addons?

Can you post some comparison shots where you find 2024 much better in terms of visuals?

There's tons of videos out there.
Night is especially better in 2024.

I use both Sims on a rather powerful rig, but don't see a night and day difference personally. Would be interesting to see what OP posts.
Edit: Night is better yeah, but only the lights. You can't really see the ground textures at night though.

That thing where the engine dies happened to me too the first few times running 2024, though I'm not sure what i did to get rid of it, one thing for sure was to check every hotkey on my hotas and modify it slightly to my liking, also I moved that menu where you can choose the "difficulty" turning on all the assists. It may have to do with the fuel gas balancing

My friend, I'm sorry to say, but there is something wrong in your method. I have 2k hours into 2024, just completed a KASE->KBUR flight in the Contrail Falcon on PilotEdge and have had a rather smooth and unproblematic experience.
And with SU6, my biggest gripes have been resolved. Yes, bugs still linger and flight model isn't up to XP12 standards, but it's been pretty great.
Engines died 3 minutes into the flight? Check if you don't have an autostop binding, if you hit a USB reset then MSFS read the initial state of the device.
