Yes they will transfer and play in 2024. But the maker might update the product to take advantage of new 2024 capabilities. In that case you can still use the 2020 version in 2024 but will probably pay a small fee if you want the new 2024 features.

Sounds good, and I’m okay paying a small fee if there’s a legitimate upgrade.

it appears that so much more of the content (live fauna etc.)

I don't recall any of the interviews mentioning the animals being 'live'.

I know they said they modelled migration patterns, but I doubt that would require the cloud to do.

Avangel. Recorded live 2024 at the show.

 

 

I did the premium deluxe preorder - with my whole 3 dollar off Microsoft gift card haha

Around 140 USD after taxes 

Hey guys , ive been off for 6 months from MSFS and see all the 2024 stuff going on. Is there gonna be a public beta like 2020 had or limited to insiders till release in nov? 

On one of the Developer's update Q&A, Jorg said there will be a beta a short time before release. I think he said "A quick one". I don't know if it will be open to everybody.

If i bought msfs2020 on steam and now i want to make the jump to ms store i will lost all the planes and airports from my premium deluxe account to play in the new ms2024?

I asked this exact question in another thread about 2024. And was told that if I have the Steam version 2020 and then buy the MS store 2024, then I would lose all my 2020marketplace addons in 2024 version. So, I'm staying with the Steam version for 2024.

A couple of 'experts' have stated that but I've never seen Microsoft say it.

Given the millions of customers msfs has, the probability of many anguished complaints when the loss is realised that could be avoided by simply translating steam Id to MS Id seems a no-brainer...

Meanwhile I'm sticking with Steam.

You can now buy MSFS 2024 in the presale.

Why would one buy this software on presale? Is there a discount? Or some additional features?
