Just saw this today 12/9/2025 (6-ish pm California time) in the Orbx app. I've no idea how long it'll last.

Its still free in the app, but I own the MSFS2020 version, that's probably why.

I own both versions in 2020. Sorry. My bad.

I own the 2020 version but where did it say that I'd get v2 for 2024 for free

Should be there in your 'My Products' in Orbx Central. If not then in the store, it should say Free.

To clarify:

If you own EGLC (v1) for MSFS 2020 there is a paid but 73% discounted upgrade to EGLC v2 for MSFS 2020.

If you own EGLC V2, there is a free upgrade from the MSFS 2020 version to the MSFS 2024 version.

If you buy EGLC v2 for MSFS 2020, the MSFS 2024 version is free and vice versa.

There is no free, or discounted, upgrade path from EGLC (v1) for MSFS 2020 to EGLC v2 for MSFS 2024.

I own v1 for 2020, but v2 isn’t showing up in store because I don’t have 2020 currently installed? Do I need to reinstall 2020 if I want to get this discount and then free upgrade to 2024 v2?

No, you can buy it at the website, here
If you are logged on and have EGLC v1 in your account, there will be a 73% discount.
and then the MSFS 2024 version, here
If you are logged on and have EGLC v2 for MSFS 2020 in your account, it is free.

It's because you own the 2020 version.

I got caught out my that too.    Orbx EGNT Newcastle was showing as "FREE" and I thought "Man, I paid good money for that!".

Any products that you own for 2020, will show up in the 2024 store page as "FREE" (and possibly vice versa).

Thanks, will have to check that at the weekend. The Orbx app isn’t showing it.

As @Reader said above, v1 2020 to v2 2020 or let alone v1 2020 to v2 2024 does not work

seemingly only v2 2020 to v2 2024 is offered for free

so also no freebie for me since I own the v1 2020 version and remember that I skipped v2 2020 since I saw too little changes and too little use of EGLC for the not so too little upgrade fee back then

Right, but v1 2020 to v2 2020 doesn't seem possible on the app when I try it, but as Reader said, it is doable on the website as I've just confirmed, so at least I can get a discount and for 2020 v2 and then presumably get the 2024 version for free....?
