Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024

As a simulation of flight, it's decent enough and mostly similar to MSFS 2020. Minor differences in handling, at least with the default aircraft. A bit better feeling on the ground. The main problem is that literally everything else surrounding the actual simulation is utterly ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ broken. The UI and UX in particular is atrocious. It's stuttery, takes forever to transition between menus, sometimes menu functions and buttons just don't work or do something entirely different from what you were expecting. There are multiple dead ends in menu navigation where the game offers the ability to open a certain screen only to tell you that you actually can't access this from here and you have to go back to the main menu or something to open it. There are certain functions that you would expect to be standard that just aren't there, like for instance cancelling a download in progress. Bit of a problem when this vibe-coded pile of garbage started a 350+ GB download when you were just trying to download a single aircraft. Certain settings just refused to save no matter what I tried, requiring me to set them again every time I started the game. Maybe I'm just doing something wrong. That's fine, I'd be okay with that. If that is the case, ANY amount of feedback should be the bare minimum to let me know why my settings aren't saving, why my inputs are doing absolutely nothing or entirely the wrong thing. MSFS 2020 was already an absolute mess with this, I don't know how they could possibly have made it even worse. I only covered my frustrations with the UX but that's only the tip of the iceberg with how busted this thing is. Unless you're REALLY invested in walking around outside your aircraft or doing the career mode activities, you'd be better off with 2020.

unglaublich verbuggt

This game is garbage. I have player every Flight Sim since like 1990, this is worse than FS2 for DOS.

评价一款飞行模拟软件，最容易陷入的误区，是把讨论停留在画面精度、帧率表现、飞机数量或者天气效果这些技术指标上。这些当然重要，但它们终究只是评价体系中的一部分，而不是全部。 真正值得讨论的问题应该是：一款模拟器究竟能够让使用者获得什么。 在我看来，Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 的价值，并不在于它无限接近真实世界，而在于它能够让普通人在数字空间中，以一种极低的门槛，进入现代航空体系所代表的工程文明。 航空从来不是一项孤立的技术。 它是空气动力学、流体力学、结构工程、发动机技术、电子工程、计算机科学、导航系统、气象学、人因工程以及全球航空运行体系共同作用后的结果。 一架波音 777，并不仅仅是一架飞机。 它是一套高度耦合的复杂系统（Complex System）。 数百万个零部件、数千项运行逻辑、数百套子系统共同维持着一种近乎精密平衡的状态。 真正优秀的飞行模拟，并不是把这些系统简单地复制到电脑屏幕，而是让使用者逐渐理解这种复杂系统背后的运行逻辑。 Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 在这一点上，比任何一代作品都更进一步。 它所模拟的不只是地球，更是一种现代工程文明。 随着卫星摄影测绘、实时天气、全球地形数据、动态光照、大气散射以及不断完善的飞行模型共同作用，飞行环境第一次真正成为飞行本身的一部分，而不再只是背景。 真实世界开始拥有了数字化的连续性。 飞行也因此拥有了空间意义。 我认为，真正让 MSFS 2024 与传统电子游戏产生根本区别的，是它所塑造的” 责任感”。 绝大多数电子游戏鼓励玩家突破规则。 而航空恰恰相反。 航空的本质，是建立在程序（Procedure）、标准（Standard）、纪律（Discipline）与风险控制（Risk Management）之上的行业。 每一次航前准备，每一份检查单，每一次无线电通话，每一次推力设定，每一次构型变化，都不是机械性的重复，而是风险管理体系中的组成部分。 模拟飞行最大的教育意义，正来源于这种思维方式。 随着飞行经验不断积累，一个飞行员 —— 即便只是模拟飞行员 —— 会逐渐意识到，真正优秀的飞行并不是炫耀技术，而是在整个飞行过程中始终保持系统稳定。 现代航空最重要的哲学，从来不是” 飞得漂亮”。 而是” 飞得可预测”。 这种思想，同样体现在 Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 的体验之中。 对我而言，这款软件最吸引人的地方，从来不是风景。 而是大型机械所带来的掌控感。 这里所说的掌控，并不是力量本身。 真正令人着迷的是，在遵循标准程序的前提下，对一个高度复杂系统实施稳定控制所产生的秩序感。 驾驶一架波音 777，并不是驾驶一辆汽车。 你面对的是数百吨质量、数百名旅客、跨越数千公里航程的一整套运行体系。 推力管理、能源管理、姿态控制、航迹控制、自动化管理，每一个输入都会影响整个系统后续的运行状态。 飞行员真正控制的，并不是飞机。 而是飞机未来数分钟、数十分钟甚至数小时的发展趋势。 因此，优秀飞行员最重要的能力，从来不是操作能力，而是预判能力（Anticipation）。 MSFS 2024 恰恰能够不断训练这种能力。 它要求玩家提前思考，而不是事后修正。 提前建立稳定下降。 提前规划能量状态。 提前管理自动驾驶。 提前预见天气变化。 提前处理异常情况。 整个飞行过程，本质上就是一场持续进行的系统预测。 这种思维方式，与现代航空运行高度一致。 如果站在人类技术发展的角度来看，Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 所代表的意义甚至超越了娱乐软件。 它展示了一种新的数字教育形式。 传统教育依赖文字。 工程教育依赖实验。 而模拟，则提供了一种介于二者之间的实践环境。 它允许人在零风险条件下，理解真实世界复杂系统的运行方式。 这种教育价值，远远超出了飞行本身。 更重要的是，它培养了一种现代社会极为重要却又容易被忽视的能力 —— 系统思维（Systems Thinking）。 玩家最终学会的，不只是如何起飞、巡航和落地，而是如何理解一个复杂系统、如何尊重程序、如何管理风险、如何在高度自动化环境下依然保持人的判断能力。 航空工业的发展，从来不是为了制造越来越大的飞机。 而是为了建立越来越可靠的系统。 飞行员存在的意义，也不仅仅是操纵飞机。 而是在系统正常时监督系统，在系统异常时接管系统，在任何时候承担最终责任。 Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 成功地将这种职业精神，以数字化的方式传递给了每一位热爱飞行的人。 它当然仍然存在不足。 性能优化仍有提升空间，部分功能仍需持续完善，第三方生态仍在不断发展。 然而，一款伟大的模拟软件，从来不会因为短期的问题而失去长期价值。 因为它真正改变的，不是玩家的电脑，而是玩家理解世界的方式。 对于我而言，Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 并不是一款优秀的飞行模拟游戏。 它是一座连接现实航空与数字世界的桥梁，是现代航空工程精神的交互式表达，也是目前消费级平台上，对” 飞行” 这一概念最完整、最具深度的一次数字化诠释。 因此，我愿意给予它最高评价。不是因为它已经完美，而是因为它已经足够伟大。 Most reviews of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 begin with graphics, frame rates, aircraft selection, or weather rendering. Those are undoubtedly important, but they are not what ultimately defines a simulation platform. The more meaningful question is this: What does a simulator actually teach us? For me, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is not simply software that recreates reality. It is a digital medium that allows ordinary people to experience one of humanity’s most sophisticated engineering achievements from an entirely new perspective. Aviation has never been about flying alone. It is the intersection of aerodynamics, structural engineering, propulsion systems, avionics, computer science, meteorology, systems engineering, human factors, and an international operational framework developed over more than a century. A Boeing 777 is not merely an airplane. It is an extraordinarily complex engineered system composed of millions of individual components and thousands of interconnected subsystems, all operating in delicate equilibrium. Every switch, every hydraulic circuit, every electrical bus, every navigation computer exists for a reason. A great simulator does not simply reproduce those systems. It helps users understand why they exist. Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 accomplishes this remarkably well. Its greatest achievement is not visual fidelity, but its ability to immerse users within the operational logic of modern aviation. High-resolution terrain, satellite imagery, atmospheric simulation, dynamic weather, lighting, and increasingly sophisticated flight models combine to create something far beyond scenery—they create operational context. The Earth is no longer a backdrop. It becomes part of the flight itself. Yet what fascinates me most has surprisingly little to do with graphics. It is the profound sense of responsibility that emerges when controlling large transport aircraft. Many games encourage players to seek power. Microsoft Flight Simulator teaches something fundamentally different. It teaches restraint. Aviation is built upon procedures rather than improvisation, discipline rather than impulse, and risk management rather than individual heroism. Every checklist exists because someone, somewhere, learned an important lesson. Every standard operating procedure represents decades of accumulated operational experience. Every callout, every configuration change, every descent profile is part of a much larger philosophy whose primary objective is remarkably simple: Bring everyone home safely. That philosophy changes the way you think. Over time, simulation ceases to be about mastering controls. Instead, it becomes an exercise in mastering decision-making. The aspect that captivates me most is the opportunity to command machines of extraordinary scale. Not because of their power, but because of the responsibility that accompanies controlling them. There is something deeply satisfying about sitting in the cockpit of a Boeing 777. Watching two GE90 engines come alive. Powering the aircraft from cold and dark. Bringing electrical, hydraulic, fuel, pneumatic, and flight management systems online. Taxiing hundreds of tonnes of engineered precision toward the runway. Advancing the thrust levers. Passing V1. Hearing “Rotate.” Feeling a machine weighing several hundred tonnes lift gracefully into the sky under your command. That moment is difficult to describe. It is not excitement. It is not adrenaline. It is respect. Respect for engineering. Respect for procedures. Respect for the countless individuals whose expertise made such a machine possible. What I experience is not the illusion of controlling an airplane. It is the privilege of participating—however virtually—in one of humanity’s greatest engineering accomplishments. Perhaps the most valuable lesson Microsoft Flight Simulator teaches is that aviation is fundamentally a systems discipline. Every action influences subsequent events. Energy management affects descent planning. Weather influences fuel strategy. Aircraft configuration determines performance margins. Automation requires continuous supervision rather than blind trust. Good pilots do not merely react. They anticipate. The simulator quietly cultivates this habit. You begin thinking five minutes ahead. Then twenty. Then an hour. Eventually you stop asking, “What should I do now?” and begin asking, “What should I already have been preparing for?” That shift in mindset extends well beyond aviation. It represents the essence of systems thinking—a way of approaching complex problems by understanding relationships rather than isolated actions. Few forms of entertainment encourage this type of thinking. Microsoft Flight Simulator does. From a broader perspective, I believe MSFS 2024 demonstrates something even more significant. Simulation is becoming a new form of education. Traditional education teaches through explanation. Engineering education teaches through experimentation. Simulation uniquely combines both. It allows individuals to interact with extraordinarily complex systems in a consequence-free environment while still demanding professional discipline and structured thinking. That educational value may ultimately become its greatest contribution. Is the simulator perfect? Certainly not. Performance optimization still requires improvement. Bugs remain. Third-party compatibility continues to evolve. Like every ambitious software project, it is still growing. Yet perfection has never been the defining characteristic of great technological achievements. Progress has. Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 succeeds because it changes the way people perceive aviation. It reminds us that modern aircraft are not symbols of speed or luxury. They are manifestations of human coop

lots of bugs for how long the game has been out and is obvious they went out of their way to make a flight sim to be as woke as they could make it. if they spent that time fixing it and not jamming feminisim and BLM down our throats the game would be good. Wish i never brought it and will not be buying another one

This game is not cheap. It is not being published by some small studio. It was not released yesterday. And I cannot complete the first license mission because of a "known bug"? WTF.

别买！！！！！！！！求你们了！别买这个游戏！你的网络再好，再快，都有可能卡加载！好不容易进去了，航电，建模全是糊的！不开加速器没法玩！开了也糊的要命！而且120分钟，有117分钟是在等待加载，调试和等待地图，真正进入游戏核心内容的时间才3分钟！我卡在107分钟退款，别买别买！你的电脑再好，玩这个游戏也要看风水！建议以后的挂历都标注今天是否适合游玩微软飞行模拟2024！买了纯受气，微软你太让我失望了

good game for aviation enthusiasts, the cockpits are highly detailed and physics are very realistic! the game also includes tutorials to help you fly which are very useful and microsoft flight simulator also comes with many planes to use, including helicopters! however, one problem that upsets me is that, as of writing this review, there is still no proper crash physics or crash animation like the plane setting on fire or something like that. if the game included that it would definitely be more realistic! however good game, highly recommend.

3 levels of joystick config with defult auto config on first load with non required garbage, with no easy way to clear it out, has kept me in 2020 for a extra year. this is 2026 and wasam crashes where you loose your flight for no reason is also keeping me away. Fixes do not address big problems. stau with 2020

The whole process of loading controls into a computer is long winded and very complicated. On the first start up the camera has a mind of its own and moves one way or another with no instruction on how to stop it moving. What sort of Company releases a plane that moves on its own?.
