Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 experienced some turbulence when it debuted on Xbox Series X|S last week, but the team at Asobo Studio remains committed to fixing these issues in future updates.
Following 'hotfix 1' last week on November 22nd, the plan now is to deliver another patch on December 2nd which will come with "further stability improvements and other fixes". Then, on December 9th, a "third larger patch" will be delivered.
In the latest development update, the team has also mentioned how there have been some "significant issues" after porting marketplace content from Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) to the new entry. So "non-aircraft content" from the existing release is being "temporarily" deactivated:
"Recent reports from the community show that some 3rd party add-ons are causing significant issues, including preventing some users from entering the simulator. Until we identify which content is causing these issues, we will temporarily deactivate all MSFS 2020 non-aircraft content from MSFS 2024."
In addition, the patch scheduled for December 9th will allow users to "disable/enable content" on their own, and there'll be a "safe boot option" added to deactivate third-party content in case there's a crash when booting up the simulator.
The team is also happy to report its "distribution layer capacity has been increased to handle the immense interest in the simulator and the reliability is now above 99.999%" with the "servers and services" performing as expected.
Last but not least, the team is planning to host a developer Q&A stream where it will share further updates and answer community questions and concerns.

Does anyone know what the recommended minimum internet speed requirement is for smooth play? My home broadband is 69Mb/s
I have 200mb/s on my Series X and textures are still loading me an apocalyptic half rendered Paris
Really hope that after these next few planned patches it leaps ahead in graphic rendering and non stuttering in videos and even play.
I have 300Mb/s t'internet so that isn't the problem, can stream multiple 4k streams.
Such a step down in quality from FS 2020.
Such shortsightedness from the developer that streamed content was a viable solution to a constantly shifting map.
The towns/cities look very low quality most of the time.
If in the new year, it still looks and plays like crap, I'll just delete it.
@Feffster It is typically 50mb or above, but the servers are the issue at the moment. I would recommend giving the game a try after the Dec patches. Thankfully you only have to install around 11GB or so to get started.
Honestly I think I can live with the graphics as they will get sorted over time…but the AI voices, especially in career mode. My god they’re soooo bad 🤦🏻♂️
@darylb24 - thanks for that, definitely will give it another go after the updates are rolled out.
@BearFut_1800 I've said this as well! Scrap the AI voices or at least give me the ability to mute them
@LaurenceJ1987 yeah they’re awful, and to me…an example of an unfinished game, they’re embarrassing tbh. You can’t mute them, as that will then mute the co-pilot as well 😂
@darylb24 you mean just shy of 30gb
No mention of discrete download....so still not playing...
@parappatherapper
Bird strike?
