News on the Starship

[ADFGVX]

The last news , including the teaser trailer from the Starship, are from August. Unlike the Dukes, further information did not follow so swiftly. So is it possible that there will be further info, or even release soon for MSFS 2020?

...maybe you've not heard, but MSFS 2024 is heading for release tomorrow, with new aerodynamic model as well. I don't know, but it seems logical to wait for 2024 for release.

I have indeed, maybe i phrased it poorly in that regard: I was also aiming at the question whether the release of the new sim is a point where news can be shared

2024 still seems like a bit of a cluster. I hope we'll see this plane release on both platforms. I haven't even bought 2024 due to the streaming issues and overall data usage. It sounds like it's eating a lot more internet data, which is not ideal for someone like myself, who can do about 18-25 flights a month. I already use half my data cap, plus the streaming content seems to be rather buggy at the moment. I suspect it'll be summer next year before 2024 is at the level we're use to in 2020. I mean even the performance is not good for some users, for whatever reason. FSLTL said they can't even inject traffic, and I'm not seeing anything to suggest the default traffic is accurate.

The only positives I've seen mentioned by the more hardcore sim user crowd, is better textures and colors. Improved flight model over 2020, and improved clouds. Overall, 2024 does not seem like a grand change from 2020, aside from the career/avatar and yucky GUI.
