Is Premium Deluxe for 2024 worth it if I own it for 2020?

I wonder, will these be updated to MSFS2024 standard or will they stay in their current state, compatible but not improved?

It would not make sense to keep two different versions of the same aircraft in the Cloud and send only the one not updated to an end user.

Plus, in the Q&A Jorg said all versions of default aircraft will be updated to 2024 standards.

Maybe, not at launch but through updates, in the cloud not downloads, so again why keep an obsolete copy of an aircraft in the cloud?

  • It seems quite obvious. 2024 is a different, standalone game. As we have been assured, content bought through the Marketplace in 2020 will be transferable.  The content of the game 2020 is n

They’ll be upgraded

I will probably keep the Community folder empty until I have checked out the sim for a few days. I don't think I will simply move the Community folder items over though:

  • Commercial aircraft addons often have folders/files in the profile directory (C:\Users\...\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe) containing license information and save states etc. If MSFS uses a different path, these files/folders will needed to me copied, and in some cases it will still not work. Piracy protection might also kick in.
  • Commercial sceneries will probably be quite compatible but I will probably want to check each whether upgrades are available. Especially some of the older sceneries might be not as good than their upgraded MSFS2024 handcrafted version.
  • Addons that are neither aircraft nor scenery are more likely to be incompatible without updates. And some might not be wanted in MSFS2024 anyway.

So while we can simply copy the Community folder over but I won't expect everything to work right away.

In no way would I suggest "copying over" the Community folder.. This is going to be a selective "one at a time" affair, as you suggest.

Having added what I have to the conversation, my conclusion is I will only purchase the Standard this time around having previously bought the Premium Deluxe the last time.

Furthermore, Jorg also clarified you can buy planes from higher level packages individually, so if worse happens I can get those.

The only new plane I am intrigued by is the PC-24, at the moment.

I notice the collector’s edition is no longer available to purchase at aerosoft, they must have sold the 5000 copies already.
