The addons (that arent scenery or planes) that I would need to work in MSFS in order to make the switch would be:
Real Sim Gear interface
Pop Out Manager
Air Manager
Axis & Ohs
FSUIPC (maybe?! Not sure if I still need that one)
GoFlight Inc Interface Tool by PollyPot
Xmapsy

What about you?

 

Once I buy I am bringing nothing over from 2020 for a while. Need to see what works and doesn't before adding more variables. 

Uninstall MSFS2020. Install MSFS2024. Wait and see what happens.

A rather large collection of payware and freeware airport addons.

Why would you immediately burden a brand new product with a bunch of 3rd-party addons?  How can you do any meaningful in-depth testing of the new product with so many pieces of potential conflict?  Why not just load the base product and use it for a while so you and all the other users can sort out the basic platform before trying to separate base from add on instability, performance, errors?  You do remember that the Asobo/Microsoft debugging advice always begins with "remove all user installed addons."

Is there really such a rush to get a full blown 2024 environment running while you can continue to fly in 2020?

I am not planning moving over anything to 2024, It's a recipe for disaster moving a lot of addons in so soon imo. If i was, i'd only move 1 at a time and test. imagine the chaos of trying to find out whether the issue is with the sim, or one of your addon's. 

I've zipped all my addons and put them on another drive.  Hopefully they will unzip into the 2024 community folder as and when I need them, though I will probably run the new sim in it's default state until I have an idea of how good it is, which of my 2020 addons I will need and what performance is looking like.

 

I wonder how long it will take the tweakers to start suggesting new tweaks and tips - really looking forward to it, but will wait for a month to see what isues users are having.

I’m pretty addon lite. So Sunday evening Im going to uninstall 2020 and be ready to install 2024. The rest of the addons I can wait to install when they work.

I'm just gonna check that Volanta works as that's my primary Flight Log app, other apps can wait a bit depending on if they're needed (Sky4Sim, ActiveSky for example) and mods as well for some time.

I will probably keep it clean for a few days and fly some of the aircraft included, especially some of the GA airplanes.  I will then likely start moving some of my airport addons.  Not sure about aircraft yet and will likely wait until my most flown are verified as working OK in 2024 before adding/installing them.  No real rush for me but as soon as 2 or 3 of my most flown 3rd party aircraft are compatible I will remove 2020 from my PC to free up 700gb+....

It'll work. They added compatibility today. 

I'll install it clean and then gradually add aircraft/airports I need when I need them. Simple and clean.

I'm going to enjoy the default as best I can and really not move to the new sim until everything on that list has been updated for MSFS2024. However, to answer your question. My simpit is setup to use all those things in order to enjoy my hardware and the two planes I fly being the A2A Comanche and the Black Square Duke(s). All of my listed addons are basically interfaces.

I’m going with default 2024. I stopped buying addons for 2020 when the new sim was announced so I’ll be adding what I want as 2024 specific addons become available.
