[@useruserusername472]

2024 looks more picturesque for me, while 2020 is more photorealistic. look at photos captured with HDR, like photos you see to demonstrate a TV in a store lol, and it looks closer to 2024. but irl i’m not too sure which looks more realistic

[@ihorsvir]

The reason why some 2024 graphics looks rather uncanny is because the assets weren't updated properly -- e.g. the terrain was from the new sorce, but the special objects (e.g. pyramids or handcrafted rocks, trees etc.) were not aligned with it. I guess gotta wait for a few years until MSFS 2024 is fully updated

[@janrt1735]

+ trees and vegetation + a lot less more uneven road + sun illumination through clouds + Grand Canyon feels like you're actually there + getting out of aircraft is cool especially with helicopter + some random paces in nature look really nice at ground level + water physics - high mountain peaks have trees growing on them - docked ships have trees growing in them - a lot of glaciers and ice sheets have the same copy paste texture from a distance - snow on high mountains looks generic and starts at a very clear line looking unnatural -still a lot of bridges that look weird -way too many ships in rivers

2020s update is whats made it graphically worse! And 4 years of update has turned rain into just haze and thin transparent clouds. And they still say they are working on a fix LOL.

[@Reaper1722]

It would be safe to assume though that whatever they learned and/or improved in the 2020 version would already be applied to the 2024 version. Though there are certain aspects of 2024 where it seems that's not the case from what i hear.

[@RaccoonRepublic]

There is no extreme step forward here. Certainly, we could make a case for the fact that FS2024 is much better in some regards. Foliage and water are a big step forward. Lighting is better. But overall appearance of buildings on the ground really didn't really step forward. Things like a new career mode and being able to get out of the plane are amazing new features. But the bottom line is that this feels 100% like an update to FS2020, not a new game by any stretch of the imagination. In the past, going from one version of Flight Sim to the next was like night and day. That is certainly not the case here. But that doesn't make it any less an incredible product which offers a lot of new features over its predecessor.

[@hellspinner8378]

Honestly you could say that regarding a lot of newer games. The fact that it is just basically a update. Regarding the appearance of the building i think that for some countrys that didn't get a specific world update,the fs2024 world streaming improves things quite significantantly. Also i appreciate the fact that FS2024 doesn't take up about 300gb.

[@imembridibuddha]

Another big thing to mention: MSFS2024 weighs 100gb less.

[@vulkanxl]

Eh I mean fsx wasn't much of a step forward from fs2004.

[@Borgatiger]

@@vulkanxl true.

[@RaccoonRepublic]

@@imembridibuddha You make a good point, in that probably the biggest change to the design of the game is under the hood. It's transitioning from a game designed to run locally to one which is primarily run from a server. And that will pave the way for more dramatic future changes in subsequent versions.

[@Asereco1968]

Me parece que las nubes volumétricas y el ambiente aéreo en general, se ven mejor en el 2020. Las texturas del terreno son muy superiores en el 2024. Personalmente, prefiero lo primero porque esto es un simulador para volar , no para caminar.

[@walley2637]

i think controls are more realistic in 2024 as well. i have been flying quite a while in 2020 and its been years since i crashed anything but in 2024 i have crashed a few times already lol. i was doing crazy stuff of course but nothing i havent done before. its just everything seems more responsive and behaves more like a sim than arcade.

[@letsfuckinggo5737]

[@Oliver-i7q7f]

[@happydappyman]

One thing I've appreciated is that a lot of the text in the cockpit has been made more bold. It's actually less realistic in some cases, but makes it easier to read. I also hugely appreciate the ground handling updates that flexible planes have brought. Otherwise the only major step forward is the vegetation/trees. Currently aircraft lights are totally broken. Lights will illuminate things fine, but things like strobes and nav lights become invisible on aircraft from more than 30 or 40 feet away. I've also notice that the lights are illuminating surfaces from behind a barrier. For example, the nav lights are visible THROUGH the wings currently. I've also noticed that in a lot of cities there are major things broken which weren't before such as random trees growing through buildings and things like that, though I don't care too much about that. Tons of things in the game are broken which should have been completely obvious during even the most basic quality pass they could have done. Apart from the lighting issues I've already mentioned, basic things like weight and balance, selecting a livery, spawning in random wrong locations for missions, etc, all broken and often game breaking. Seems super strange to rush a game to market without any QC given that nobody was begging for it.

[@FlightSimMuseum]

Wow! A lot of effort went into this video, thanks for making it.

From what I see and can understand: MSFS 2024 looks slightly different to 2020. In some aspects it does look better (shadow clarity, vegetation, sea surface water effects from interaction with aircraft/helicopter, objects LOD) in others it looks worse (color blending of various environment objects, general lighting and reflections, clouds and water droplets). It definitely does not justify the title of a new version imho - more like MSFS2020v1.5/1.8 maybe.

buenos dias unless you watch your video on a screen identical to yours and under the same conditions (could you please specify what type of screen you are using in terms of name, resolution and diagonal size), I have the impression that the differences essential mainly relate to the ground textures, which are richer in details (grass, flowers) and above all much more realistic, with flora in line with the place (bush in Africa, pines in the mountains, etc.). Concerning the animations of the F14, or the lod of the tires, no or little difference. As for the menu, I'm not convinced I'll see a big difference. Concerning aircraft lights (strobe), they are more discreet and realistic. Concerning the level of detail in the cockpit, very little difference except the slightly brighter displays. Concerning the level of detail in the cities, in any case looking at the "Sacré Coeur" in Paris, the city of my childhood, yes the architecture of the buildings is indisputably also more faithful.Concerning the level of detail of the aquatic scenes, the breath and spray effects are also much more realistic. For me, who is going to take the step towards msfs 2024 without having gone through the 2020 version, I do not ask myself any questions...except to know the conditions in which your video was so well recorded, and in particular no stuttering. This is why I am asking you for the characteristics of your screen and your graphics card (nvidia or freesync).
