  • I'll probably initially keep it so I can test my 2020 products in 2024 After that it's bye bye to 2020!

  • Absolutely not. MSFS 2020 is dead to me by the time 2024 releases.

  • I hope the addon linker will be updated for use in 2024 - then I can continue using my freeware stuff.

Yeah, for a little bit to do some direct comparisons.

Say what? Yes, I'm excited for the next iteration of MSFS. I really don't understand your what your response is all about.

I'll keep 2020 until I feel satisfied that 2024 is what I hope it will be.

I'll plan to keep 2020 until i can transfer all addons from old community into new 2024 community-folder, after that it is goodbye for 2020...

2020 will be scrubbed from my machine in the week prior to the launch of 2024. I am excited to be freed of all the pay ware I have acquired and to just use the new base sim for a while, gives me a chance to get a feel for the native simulator and to explore its features and user interface. I will then be excited to begin adding things back in as they become available.

I like this response

I'll delete FS2020 as soon as. I'll set the community folder aside, in the hope that Addon Linker can direct FS2024 to it without having to do new installs.

Surely not everybody was kung fu fighting.

I can keep both versions, what's another 50 GB. but I doubt I will find the time or desire to go back to old rusty 2020 and by the time I am finished exploring all the new 2024 features (if that is ever possible)  I am sure the most relevant add-ons will have been converted long before, if even necessary at all. I have no doubt the major MSFS 2020 developers will work day and night and sunday to make their products 2024 compatible. there will be a big competition among developers: who's first. many probably by day 1.

very nice.

It'll be a year before I purchase MSFS 2024. No space left on current system for 2 sims. Windows 10 support ends Oct. '25. And that's when I plan on purchasing a new system.

 

 

Definitely keeping both flight sims, I'm currently building a new system with a new CPU and GPU and double speed/size M2 drives.

Havn't seen  any posts  about  if you have both sims installed on same  drive what about the  community folder, take it going  to be  2  folders in same  drive?

MSFS addons linker to the rescue. 2 separate symbolic links in 2 separate community folders pointing each to only one real file should be enough.

I'll keep both versions around.  A lesson I learned when P3Dv5 came out was that P3Dv4 remained nice and stable when "updates" to v5 broke stuff.  Always nice to have a backup available when "  it" happens.

I'd expect much the same out of MSFS2020 while MSFS2024 is kept running in the update squirrel cage.  Except, of course, when the servers barf...

I have enough SSD space to download 2024 and to fully test it. I'll keep 2020 as a backup sim, then once 2024 is fully working, I'll delete 2020.
