A full lap of the Isle of Wight in the MSFS2024 Technical Alpha in the Cessna 172

[@mattyiow]

I was expecting to finally see the Needles in the sim - especially as they’ve been featured in the 2024 promo stuff. Hopefully, they make it to the final sim and not just in a landing challenge. Also, looks like I’ll need to go 3rd party to add in the coastal piers. Still looking forward to it though!

They WILL be there, it's an old Alpha build with LOTS missing. There were NO custom airports either. They'll be there in release, though, don't worry.

this is actually a little bit insane

[@theflyingfreja]

@@adi5381 how so? 😊

[@andrearaujo79]

What resolution and settings ?

[@MrPhantom1961]

Not a good example to sell MSFS2024. From what I've just watched the Isle of Wight doesn't look as good as what I get in MSFS2020. This just looks like generic scenery.

[@oliverek7]

the tech alpha is a limited version and does not represent what the actual sim will look like

[@MrPhantom1961]

@@oliverek7 Very glad to hear it

Hello, I have the 2020 version / do we have to buy it to upgrade to the 2024 version or can it be updated to the previous version???

[@theflyingfreja]

No, 2020 and 2024 are completely separate games. There is no upgrade.

Sorry, this was not enjoyable. Not a good video. The ATC sounds terrible. How could the plane dip into the sea and not crash?

[@theflyingfreja]

Because damage was disabled, and it's an early Alpha release designed to test Server connectivity and telemetry. The majority of features were not present, including ATC.
