  • Should have been named MSFS2026 and released today. Better yet, name it MSFS<something without a year number> and release it today.

  • Very happy with MSFS2024 and the Fenix A320, GSXPro, SimBrief and Navigraph. Many hours of joy. Thanks.

That was a great paint matched to a great interior -- it is the one in my hanger too, so thank you!

MSFS 2024. Primary Planes: Black Square TBM850, Duke, Baron, Caravan; A2A Comanche; FSReborn Phenom; Fexix A321; PMDG 737-7, 777: Utilities: Active Sky (Passive Mode); BATC, FSLTL.

An important milestone!

Earlier this year, I moved on from 2020 and haven’t looked back. MSFS 2024 is evolving at a rapid pace, and the add-on ecosystem is thriving.

Thank you to Asobo and Microsoft for continuing to innovate and for bringing flight simulation back into the mainstream.

Are those offerings backward compatible with 2020? Airports for P3D were generally compatible with v4 and v5 and often with FSX.

It will be disappointing to those who spent a lot on airports for 2020 to have to buy them again for 2024 should they decide to buy that version.

In my experience (of owning lots of 2020 airports, then moving to 2024), over 90% of airports made for 2020 work just fine in 2024.

The few that don't, tend to have elevation issues (erroneous raised ground or 'canyons' where they shouldn't be).

So I'm pretty happy with those numbers.

For aircraft addons, I've found the percentage to be around 75%.   The 2020 aircraft that work clearly don't have the new features and functions that are included with native 2024 aircraft.   But they're as good as they were in 2020.

Absolutely.  And thanks to @Tim-HH for working his butt off creating a paintable model - without that these paints wouldn't be possible!

EDIT:  I think the one in the thumbnail is the black square which yes I also did paint, but I made it first for the 2024 Native TBM 930 - that's where Tim did all the grunt work!

Belated happy birthday, I’ll get back to it in earnest soon.

 

good progress being made 👍

MSFS 2024 has been smooth for me (especially since I didn't buy at launch).  Experiences differ, but I've had way, way more headaches with 2020 than 2024.  

My only minor gripe was that it took longer to get some addons over than I would have liked, but now I've got most of what I need to fly.  WIth BlackSquare and A2A giving us 2024 releases and updates, I'm in a good place.  

I genuinely don't know why I don't run into nearly as many issues in 2024 as others seem to.  I typically did run into them in 2020.

Well, based on the latest SU4b I'd say the little one still has the flu 🙄

I seem to recall the REAL little one (SU3) being a little ill during his beta time, too.   And now he's healthy as can be.

Most developers who upgraded their 2020 addons for 2024 provided a free update. It would be nuts for anyone developing a product made for 2024 to make it compatible with any past product. 2024 has been here for a year, a line has to be drawn somewhere. 

I agree. Time to move on. 

Bye, bye MSFS 2020.
