Does this sim EVER work???

MS2024 is as stable as MS2020, provided you only have ONE each of the following: Monitor, keyboard, mouse, controller or joystick or yoke & pedals.
Start adding VR or switch panels and additional screens etc. and you're just asking for trouble.
Custom registrations are working for me after SU1, also pilots are visible in MS2020 port-overs after SU1.
If you're still on the fence, wait for SU2 or even SU3 by which time most peripherals and MSFS2020 add-ons will be compatible at least.

You definitely have a point here. I was totally loyal to FSX up to 2 years ago - never had any 'major' issues with it. My config file only had a handful of 'tweaks' - many of which were deemed 'necessary' to enable smooth fps rates using complex Orbx scenery and payware aircraft addons with the dated sim engine and it's inherent VAS cap (remember OOM errors ? remember KSEA - the stutter capital of the sim ?). Bottom line - my FSX was lean and mean. If I didn't use it - I got rid of it. John V. at Orbx always said this to people having fps issues, stutters, CTD's ... etc. 'remove unnecessary addons you never use, and delete fsx.config file and let the sim rebuild a new one next time you fly. Things will be smooth as butter."

If the sim is clean, without unnecessary tweaks/addons - it will serve you well. It is not reasonable (speaking from an FSX viewpoint) to download the sim, make tweaks galore, followed by tweaks to keep other tweaks in line, load up the sim with freeware galore - much of which you use once and then forget about it, and then expect the software to miraculously somehow 'sift through the rubbish' and come out of the tunnel with perfect performance in all areas each and every time. Garbage in = garbage out, IMHO, lol !

FS2024 (when clean and well organized) will be a wonderful sim one day, as MS has invested too much into it to just let it coast. That day, however, is not the present. Hopefully it's sooner than later. It will, I fear, take MS many more months to 'digest' all the new features it's newest sim has to offer.

I will get off my soapbox now, having thrown in my 2 cents worth ....... :)

They should have called it Fs2025 and given themselves a whole more year to improve the game. Unfinished game releases seem to be the standard these days, while prices are still going up. Eighty euros for the latest Doom game, while GTA6 is expected to cost more than a hundred..

New games go on my Steam wishlist, I will pick then up when there is a good sale. Really enjoying Fallout 4 at the moment. Less than ten euros with all dlc last autumn.
 
Mine works fine on the first launch after an update, but never on the second launch. I always get the same error code: 0xc0000005, game has crashed. Always at about the 15sec point on the splash screen. I've renamed/moved the community folder, which sometimes is empty. The only way to get it to work again, is to uninstall using the Windows app uninstaller, then reinstalling. BTW, mine is the MS Store version, that uses the xBox app to launch. It sis this often after SU1. Then with SU2, same thing. So, I joined the SU3 Beta, as the notes said it was supposed to fix some CTDs. Not this one. Still the same. My install is the default location. I've tried 4 other internal NVMe SSD locations, all do the same thing.
 
I'll be honest, I've been using MSFS2024 consistently since the last update & I've not had too many issues (touch wood!).

I've had few CTDs, but not every session. I can go through many flight sessions over a number days without any CTDs, then bang, my desktop appears! This usually happens to me when flying for more than an hour. I can imagine it'll be very annoying for those who enjoy the long haul flights.

Hopefully, they'll get things resolved eventually, but I do agree they should have postponed the release, though.

The main issue I have been having is with it not shutting down. I can't even close it via the task manager, I have to shut the Steam app down to exit MSFS2024, every time use it. Something I see happening with with 2020?

I'm on the newest beta and I keep getting pop-ups telling me my GPU memory is low. I've downloaded everything too btw, anyone else having that problem?

I have Alpha and Bravo from Honeycomb, CH Pedals and an additional three lever from Saitek as well as three monitors. All of that is never really a problem. After each update the monitor settings are lost, but by now they are quickly restored.
It’s the lagging performance of streaming data, most of that is my slow ISP, and the utterly ridiculous ATC and AI traffic.
And frankly the lack of customization I can do with the aircraft and sounds. That was always a part of FS for me.

But I could not recommend buying it to anyone at this point, because the overall experience is still frustrating more often than not.
