It's superior in every way compared to 2020. Try it for yourself instead of listening to the numerous doomer reviews. I was skeptical so I tried it on Gamepass first, now I own the Aviator Edition because I liked what I saw that much. The visuals, physics, and optimization are a massive step-up over 2020.

Everything that was missing from 2020 is here now, there's even updated charts in the EFB provided free of charge. Those kinds of additions are actually pretty insane if you have been flight simming for a while and understand how many addons and services you had to pay for to get even half of the features contained in 2024. I have been at it since FS2004 and dropped the hobby because of how barebones flight simulators used to be, requiring so many paid third-party addons to get them to any sort of usable level.

This is truly the last stop you'll ever need to make to get your flight simming fix, it has everything you could ask for from a simulator. The visuals are unmatched, the physics are the most true-to-life that have ever been in a consumer flight sim (eat your heart out X-Plane fanboys), and the actual simulation of the aircraft and their various systems is beyond anything we've ever had before.

Don't listen to the doomers and pessimism that has totally enveloped discussion about this simulator, it's an amazing technical achievement and a straight up gift to flight simmers.
