Is there already a thread somewhere? Now that MSFS2024 slightly gets up and running on most peoples machines, I wonder if I can already start moving addons over. Most installers now already offer the option, but without specific hint if the product is compatible or not. E.g. Contrail, if I select MSFS2024, I could theoretically install my 5 addons I have via Contrail, but will they work? Did Contrail check this and only offers addons being installed into MSFS2024 that really work? I am a bit at a loss here, not knowing if it makes already sense to install certain addons into the new sim already... and which ones...

Contrail added a filter at the top right that lets you see what products are verified compatible, just change it to 2024.

Threw most of my add on airports into it and they seem to work. Unless they cause the occasional freeze I get when exiting the sim?

Ok, good to know, so if my 5 products show for both MSFS2020 and MSFS2024 I can assume they work in the new sim as they should?

Yes, that is my understanding.

Yes. Same with ORBX. 

Only the compatible sceneries and add-ons show up. 

It does seem however that both Contrail and ORBX install a separate copy in the library. 

Instead of linking to the same already in there, like FSDT does. 

 

Yeah, seen that one, slightly stupid unless the versions are not 100% identical, e.g. different settings for interiors etc. Then it makes sense at the expense of storage space.

And the disadvantage of FSDT approach: the settings for GSX Pro have to be identical in both sims...
