Any idea about the 757 release date?

Will the 757 have the same system depth as the old Level-D model in FSX did?

Hi - super excited on this, literally can't wait!! One question, will you be implementing the Rockwell Collins large display option for the cockpit, or just the original 757 version with a mix of dials and electronic displays? I noticed the outgoing Jet2 757s had the larger displays. Would it be an optional extra?

Will it have wear and tear? Like inibuilds a300-600

This looks beautiful, when would the release possibly be?

Can't rush art! we're all excited for the plane's release, whenever that'll be! <3

Just quickly wanted to say that I love what you guys are doing and that I love the people you chose to make these planes live up to their glory! I was also wondering if its going to come out q1 2025 or after?

It looks phenomenal!!!😁 I have a question and I hope it's not weird but will this be available LATER on Xbox? I say later because I know it will be an additional job for you but I just wait to see if it's in your idea then expand, because like other excellent MSFS developers like Phoenix or Ifly, due to external things you can't bring your products to Xbox. If this question was answered at another time, I'm sorry. ✌🏽🤙🏽

Love your style.

I don't have great internet witch is the big thing stopping me from playing fs2024. if I could download most of the game like 2020 that would be nice.

Fair play. I am not moving up anytime soon.

I like the simbrief support in the fmc!

I am yet to buy 2024. I will hold off until the game matures. The fully live aspect I am apprehensive about as someone who lives in a rural location, where the internet can drop out or at least go very slow for a little bit. 2O2O is in the best place right now, very stable and a good selection of aircraft. I look forward to the bluebird 757.

Please would really appreciate if not that much cloud based

100% agreed with the need to keep it offline. Cloud is a terrible idea.

like anything..dont buy the initial release...applys to everything.......new cars...electrical equipment..and obviously computer games. simmers should have remembered the release on ms 2020

I love how all gamers are requesting games to have offline modes and no developers are going through with it. I’m sure suits are involved.

Wish you and the team all the best and thank you for your work so far ❤

I don’t think folks understand why 2024 is cloud based…. It’s because of size! It would be cheaper for Asobo to not have to maintain lots of servers and the constant streaming, but a mere 2 TB is nowhere near what it would take to store this simulator. You would essentially need your own server with massive storage. This new world we are seeing comes at a cost of space… hence running it from the cloud. On a positive note, many of us are having great performance. I just don’t think we are as vocal. 2024 has its quirks and bugs, but it’s running great for me. The Fenix runs well (some issues, but no dealbreakers). I actually deleted 2020 this morning because after flying 2024 for a while now, 2020 definitely feels like a step back, especially with the Fenix working. 2020 was in much worse shape a week after launch. The server thing (some are experiencing) will get better. Microsoft isn’t going to let this thing fail. But again, I don’t think it’s quite the problem some think it is. I’m not saying many aren’t having issues, I’m only saying many have no issues, they just aren’t complaining about it because they’re using the simulator. Where 2024 is now compared to 2020, I’d say it’s a huge mistake not developing the 757 for 2024, as it doesn’t sound like it’s on the verge of being released or anything. I bet 2024 will be at 98% within a couple months. People who are struggling with the server end, give it more than a week, the simulator is really good, and the new physics make the Fenix feel so much better than 2020. By the time you release the 757, I’d bet my right legs the masses will be on 2024. If many are having great performance with it after a week, imagine what a month or so will be like. I’m guessing the folks not having any luck with 2024 are geographically unlucky for this release, that’s going to get fixed.

Once they pull the plug on 2020, I'm off to X-Plane. I haven't touched X-Plane in over two decades but there is zero chance I will trust Microsoft again

I gave up on a terrain simulator, and went to a flight simulator - it is a trade off, it isn't as nice to look at but... I can't deny, I massively prefer X-Plane 12 in terms of feel, performance, and - the whole thing is offline. It just works.

I aint buying FS2024 until I see 2 options. 1. Offline mode, I aint depending on a good internet connection that I cannot control to stream aircraft and scenery. 2. I see it has a good multiscreen sim pit setup being able to easily have more than 3 screens showing. I want to be able to view the correct positions in the cockpit but without having to show the aircraft frame if ppl dont need it.

I bought the aviator edition and got a refund a few days later IM not interested in restarting fs2024 5 times before I can get to flying I might try again in a year from now and see if anything has changed.

I'am not a Boeing man, but glad to see such a great aircraft in the sim.

My honest opinion. It's utterly pathetic. So many bugs it will be a year before they get to them all. All the simps on the forums trying to make excuses for Asobo. I got a refund and then I switched to Game Pass for $1 for 14 days after which I will cancel Game Pass. And no, the servers aren't fixed. New reports today of blurry terrain and missing buildings and long load times.

My personal take: This launch was unacceptable but inevitable. The video game industry as a whole is to blame. There hasnt been a single AAA release in the last 4 years that has been polished and smooth on day 1 (except a few specific studios releasing specific games - Naughty Dog and Sony Santa Monica) Why? Costs continue to skyrocket but the end product is less polished, does not function as designed or advertised, and requires months of additional labor to correct. Since digital storefronts have anti-consumer refund policies, revenue is all but guaranteed with this business model. Once the accountants have an accurate figure for current cycle revenue, they can allocate capital to render enough fixes to make the lawyers happy - happy meaning what's the absolute minimum we can continue to allocate capital fix this product without incurring lawsuits? And yet his game will still hit some internal sales goals (because of those anti consumer storefront policies) and fhe Asobo team will get Christmas bonuses, Microsoft will earn some bonuses as well, stakeholders will still earn their returns all while the actual people who bought the game will still be sitting around waiting for their product to be fixed, maybe in a year or so. I mean, we can't blame corporate MBA executives for creating this system without blaming consumers themselves. Thousands pre-ordered this game. Thousands were prepared to exchange money for a product they had never laid eyes on for themselves. They only saw marketing footage and crafted material for it beforehand. Let me ask you this. Would you buy a product from Facebook marketplace sight unseen? Would you trust the pictures on the advertisement? Of course not!! Yet video games get a pass because its being sold by a bigger company? Make it make sense!!

I don’t like that they made a career mode. I understand why, but I think it made it a mess.

I wholeheartedly agree with having offline capability in some form - obviously not everything of course. Most of us will have prime time to play when the snowstorms hit and we’re on generator power with no internet. DCS at least gives 3 days to play whatever we have downloaded before a brief internet check is needed.

There are some novelties with 2024 that are nice, but let’s just say that I am keeping 2020 installed just in case.

I am extremely frustrated at this point because I can't fly. Simple as that. I can go in career mode but no controls, if I try free flight it freezes on loading or in cockpit. Really looking forward for your BlueBird Sim's 757. Cheers

People were complaining that MSFS was so bloated with all the 3rd party stuff in the community folder that people did not have the hard drive space to store the game. I can see why they went to the cloud. But, its like whack a mole, solve one issue and several more pop up. I think going cloud based is them looking towards the future of gaming and not looking at the past.

I totally agree with about the cloud need a offline mode

From devsupport forum: “My Library” will allow to download an aircraft (or any other package) locally to avoid having to stream it. I am not 100% sure on the ETA but I think it should be before Christmas. Of course we initially planned to have this option available for launch but didn’t manage to achieve it - apologies for the inconvenience. Best regards, Eric / Asobo spread the news about this cloud nonsesne the option will be here in a month

3:04 couldn’t agree more, please MSFS!!!

They should hold their heads down in shame for this dumpster fire. 6 days into the release and I have 0NM complete. Scandalous.

She looks beautiful. Nice work

I'm absolutely gobsmacked to think that there were guys on the dev team who thought having a completely offline 2025 was a good idea.

Slightly off topic I am a licensed aircraft engineer in Europe I work on 767 and 757 everyday so if you need any close up shots or any further information hit me up happy to help.

Thank you for the informative video. Good to hear about the flightmodel improvements which are in MSFS2024. It goes beyond saying I’m totally in favor for the option to be above to download a least a part of the simulator offline. I have a strong feeling MS/Asobo have underestimated the effects of making the simulator so completely dependent on the cloud. It should (must) be possible to have an offline mode, for at least a region. Most people don’t fly all over the world but focus on a certain region, at least for some time..

Thank you, I left 2020 mid last year, because it just never worked on my I9-13400/nv-4090 PC. Went to XP-12, and it just works great. I always 95% fly the SSG-747, and it's just a great plane, highly recommended. I have been sim pilot since FS-95, so been doing this a while, huge supporter of MS sims until 2020. I will not waste my money again on 2024.

Could we have some information on the development of the 787 that would be really cool, i thank the bluebird team in advance for the work. All my support.

fun game if you can get into the server. I want a game that I can play when I want and not sit staring at a load screen. i wouldn’t waste money on this.

This game was never going to launch they way that they marketed it, i knew it was too good to be true

I knew it would be a very rough start, which is why I didn't jump in on day one. I am gonna wait a little longer so they can get some of the bugs out. Looks amazing!!!

cannot wait for the 757 it looks phenomenal

Honestly this just looks awesome haven’t played flight sim since the fsx days but seriously considering getting back into it and this is one of the products really making me want to the level of detail is insane

Am a big fan and user of MSFS 2020 finally installed 2024 this evening and WOW runs smooth as silk, graphics amazing, just need to complete the transformation with my VR headset, I can only flightsim in VR. So far so good.

I agree 100 %, Microsoft are now discriminating against me because I'm limited to low internet speed, I was so looking forward to this evolution didn't realise I would be asking for a refund on day three of release. I think that Microsoft will be resistant to making more content downloadable but in the end will have no choice as problems and negativity will persist.

Cloud dependency with no offline mode is a killer. I think this is what MS/Asobo intended to do all along to satisfy the vast gamers market.

We absolutely need shared cockpit
