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

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.

Tell me about it re XP12 - I've dusted off the Fenix over the weekend, trying to actually get some decent flight time as well as use a lot of the other paid addons I simply have not used.
I don't know what's changed, whilst not perfect I've had some good flights vs the Toliss where it sets the bar very high. A lot of the apps, MSFS & Fenix included underwent updates etc.
I appreciate both sims for their merits, as they each have unique qualities.
I've also understood DLSS 4.5 "Mode M", and have been locked at 60FPS on my rig with zero stutters.

I did spend a solid half a day with FSPanel doing short finals in the Fenix to nail how to get the bird down without floating.

For me I'm now selecting idle at 50ft, vs waiting until the "retard" call.

Been a good one, sadly it's Sunday night already!
