I’ve heard that the deluxe/premium aircraft don’t transfer to 2024.

Not if you go for the standard or deluxe version of MS2024 but you still have access to them in MS2020.

If my memory is right, 2020 premium deluxe was $119 four years ago.  For that price, I received many hundreds of hours of enjoyment over the years.

When I heard about the pre-order yesterday, it was pretty simple.  What is the highest level available?  (I didn't see the collectors edition adding much value to the sim itself.)

 

I may not immediately need or use everything in the AV Edition.  However, for the small investment, I don't want to potentially miss out on features or options down the road.

Aviators Edition -  click,  done!

 

 

 

 

 

I think that market place add-ons released by Asobo, like the ATR will carry over to msfs2024.

But I really doubt that the aircrafts / Sceneries included in the msfs premium deluxe (like the Longitude and 787-10) will carry over to msfs2024 if you only buy the msfs2024 standard version.

Yes, this is correct. New addons that you have bought from the marketplace will carry forward. However the default planes included in the premium deluxe edition will not.

Markeplace add-ons will carry over to MSFS 2024. It's stated clearly in the MSFS 2024 FAQ: https://flightsimulator.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/12702272798364-Microsoft-Flight-Simulator-2024-FAQ

The problem is, the MSFS 2024 FAQ says nothing about Deluxe or Premium Deluxe add-ons from MSFS 2020 carrying over, if you purchase the Standard Version of MSFS 2024.

To be clear, this is unknown at the moment. There is no official statement from Microsoft or a Microsoft employee saying it won't carry over. However, there is a thread where the "solution" from a random MSFS user claims that it will carry over: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/will-add-ons-from-premium-deluxe-edition-transfer-to-msfs2024/639669

Note the solution to that thread is from a random MSFS user. The problem is, no mods and no MSFS staff have refuted that user or refuted that solution to the thread. So it's unknown at the moment.

That post contains the words 'doubt' and 'believe' and is from a 'random' user.

The devs won't answer every dubious claim just because it is not true. That would be committing themselves. Keeping options open etc but more likely too busy with work to read every random post. 

I am sure if someone spent the time to read every post lurking in the depths of user forums they would be busy 24/7 correcting false claims.

That's fine. But it's not clearly stated in the MSFS 2024 FAQ.

I hope they update the MSFS 2024 FAQ to clearly state whether the content from Deluxe or Premium Deluxe will carry over or won't for MSFS 2024.

MSFS 2024 FAQ

Indeed, this close to release they should not be changing much now. FMI, do you have a link to that FAQ? I could find it but having it here in the thread would be useful too!

Huh? Just because a new platform is able to support add-ons for the previous platforms with minimal to zero changes does *not* therefore mean that the platforms are the same essentially 🙂. This is basic software good practice (and good business) for a new platform to still support add-ons for the previous generation (no different than a new version of Excel supporting spreadsheets created in an older generation of Excel). Now in order for the existing add-ons to best make use of new features in MSFS 2024 they would obviously need new development work.
 

But it is basically MSFS isn't it? You know that game that people have been raving about for last few years. I'm yet to see any videos on YT that convince me otherwise, it isn't mind blowing, MSFS was/is still mind blowing, 2024 looks the same. 

Thankfully I will be able to continue with MSFS as I'm not drawn to stuff just because its new, the hype around that doesn't interest me. I get that some will just want the new thing, fair enough, but its really not that different at all.

Yup, here is the MSFS 2024 FAQ: https://flightsimulator.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/12702272798364-Microsoft-Flight-Simulator-2024-FAQ

Note in that FAQ it says Marketplace add-ons will carry over to MSFS 2024. But it says nothing about Deluxe or Premium Deluxe add-ons carrying over to MSFS 2024.

Sure, great that you feel MSFS 2024 isn't any different from MSFS 2020. And thanks for letting us know this and how you're not drawn to stuff just because it's new, we can all rest easy now 🙂 And yes thankfully you can continue with MSFS 2020.
 

Even if the FS2020 premium deluxe content does carry over, there's enough content in the FS2024 premium deluxe version ( in my opinion ) to purchase it again.  Especially that PC-24 which I'm really looking forward to trying.

Well, it looks like the MSFS team never thought of this situation 🤣

A mod from the official MSFS forum says the MSFS team is discussing this now:

Quote

This is being discussed as we speak.
A statement should be forthcoming.

So to people who are thinking of buying the Deluxe or Premium Deluxe Version of MSFS 2024, if you own the Deluxe or Premium Version of MSFS 2020, you might want to wait until the MSFS team makes a final decision before you make your purchase of MSFS 2024.

LOL! Even more interesting to me is that that post from random guy has now been marked in green as SOLUTION.

Swear that wasn't marked 30 mins ago? 

Personally I'm pretty confident the extra planes will be COMPATIBLE, it's whether it's up to the user to copy them manually across or will Asobe write a script that will prevent thousands of messed up configs on day one :D
