My Piper PA-28-236 Dakota

Disappeared after the last FS2024 update. Not in my library or in Market place. Anyone know how I can get it back?

Thank you

Search your content.xml file for this line:

<Package name="fs24-microsoft-aircraft-pa28-236-dakota" active="Activated"/>

If Bert's suggestion doesn't work...

I have had stuff go missing occasionally, and recently some control settings even disappeared. 

I find after a reboot of the PC and going back into MSFS fresh, it comes back / reappears a large percentage of the time, if not always.  Worth a try - takes just a few minutes.

Rob (but call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind).

I like to trick airline passengers into thinking I have my own swimming pool in my back yard by painting a large blue rectangle on my patio.

Intel 14900K in a Z790 motherboard with water cooling, RTX 4080, 32 GB 6000 CL30 DDR5 RAM, W11 and MSFS on Samsung 980 Pro NVME SSD's.  Core Isolation Off, Game Mode Off.

Bert,

In Local Cache/Packages/streamedPackages

I found the file. What I don't under stand is where is the active=Activated go? At the end of the file name as shown here or inside the folder.

sorry but not clear to me. Please explane more for this older person.

Thank You

The content.xml file should be in the "LocalCache" folder.

Open the file with a text editor and do a search

Search n your library for “Dakota”. I suspect you will find it, disabled. Reenable it and that should solve your woes.

Did not fix issue.

Looks the same as you listed.

Found file all it says is streaming. No mention of disabled.

I appreciate all your suggestions and time spent. It appears everything is as it should be.

Another stupid question, Where in FS2024 aircraft all list does your file appear. After which aircraft. I've gone through this list several times and don't see. Don't think I missed.

Thanks to all

Bill McCracken
