MSFS 2024 Scramble – Multiplayer Test Flight

This will be a very impromptu flight.  Assuming that some of us are successful in getting MSFS 2024 installed by Wednesday, we will attempt our first multiplayer group flight.   I suggest that our first group flight start at Southwest Oregon Rgnl (KOTH) on the Pacific coast (this was where we attempted our first MSFS 2020group flight.)  We scramble from there while discovering the idiosyncrasies of the new platform.  Chose whatever default aircraft you prefer.  It will come as no surprise that I will most probably be in the Cessna Caravan.  

We may wish to hop to other locations, but it would probably be a good idea to chose relatively obscure locations to not be overwhelmed by multiplayer traffic.

Recommend Departure time of 1:00PM local

Particulars:

 

•           Date and time: Saturday November 20, 19:00 UTC
•           RTWR Multiplayer Discord Channel
•           MFS Multiplayer: US Eastcoast Server

Good news, a new version of the essential Addons Linker is available:

MSFS Addons Linker 2020/2024 for Microsoft Flight Simulator | MSFS

I've messed about a bit with the MSFS flight planner.  Here's a link to a possible route:

 

Wednesday Nov 20 - Oregon Coast

 

 

I have yet to load up the 2024 simulator but will keep on trying

I will be flying MSFS 2020, MSFS 2024 does not work for me at all. 

Hmm. Microsoft/Asobo server decisions (and probably serious resource constraints) made launch a horror show - and prevented most from getting access to the simulator on the first day. But even with access, this transition will be a trial. Many "2020" commands have been changed so much continuity has been lost. (And personally, my whole controller setup was an hours-long puzzle with me trying to figure out what Asosbo has done and trying to invent workarounds.) And of course, most of our routines will have to be relearned simply because Asobo has revamped the entire logic of the user interface. In a different world a long time ago, we would resort to RTFM. But this is a new era. We shall figure out all this...eventually.(I am willing to try  FS2024 ... if possible.)

Some good news. LittleNavmap seems to work with FS2024 at an elementary level in the sense that I see my plane in LNM. And ditto for Transmitter. With any luck, this will have some cross-platform sharing. So we may be able to fly "together" in some way.

I'm IN... all I want is to load a simple FP... can't load a .pln file?

Hopefully HUD Can be turned off in both internal and external view?

Yes, you can. It is in the settings.

Just klick on Jeffs flightplan, you will be guided to the plan, that works fine.

Got it finally figured out.. thanks Gunter..
