Grumman HU-16 MSFS 2020

Featured Replies

Hello. I just saw the Albatross in MSFS 2020 marketplace. If I purchase for MSFS2020, will it also available for MSFS2024? My 2024 is standard edition. Thanks

It's the default plane from 2024, back ported to 2020 with some effects and features removed.

EDIT: Just to add – it's one of the best default planes, easily payware quality and one of my favourites.

Okay thanks. So just to clarify, I think it is not available in 2024 standar edition, correct me if I'm wrong. If I purchase it through 2020, it should be automatically added to 2024 standard edition?

Ah I see, sorry I didn't realise it wasn't part of the standard edition. Someone just asked that question – I assume yourself – from the developer on the official forums and he should be able to provide an answer.

You can now also buy it in the 2024 marketplace if you only have Standard.

Btw. I bought it for 2020, but it did show up later in 2024 (I have Standard through the game pass) but as a "2020/Unconfirmed" product.

The HU-16/G-111 Albatross is one of the best, possibly the best, default aircraft in the Delux and Premium Delux editions of MSFS2024. It received a major update in SU3, and another is coming in SU4.  If it's now available on the Marketplace for FS24 Standard-edition owners, I thoroughly recommend it. 

Surely not everybody was kung fu fighting.

Nice! Where did you hear that Paul?

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.

From the developer, Mike Johnson, on the Sim Outhouse forum. It will not be as big an update as seen in SU3, but if he's identified further tweaks and corrections, then the superb Albatross will be even better. He's one of those developers who is fully engaged with the community.  I'd love to know whether he is considering more aircraft.
