Hi all. We released a small update last night (v2.4a) to fix a weather radar issue, which could also cause issues with the modern FMS and EFB ‘Home’ button. You can download the v2.4a installer from your account. Martyn - Just Flight

Hi all. The v2.4 upgrade for MSFS 2020 and 2024 has now been released on our website. It’s in the process of being sent to the other stores, including both the 2020 and 2024 Marketplaces (PC and Xbox). The full changelog, with nearly 200 items, can be found here: https://community.justflight.com/topic/3387/146-professional-changelog-v0.2.4-released-updated-27-11-25/8 We appreciate that it’s been a long wait for this one but we hope this very significant upgrade makes it worth the wait. We’re excited to bring our first airliner for MSFS fully up-to-date with the rest of our fleet, and this marks the last of our fleet to be updated for MSFS 2024. Martyn - Just Flight

Hi all. The RJ v1.4 upgrade (including new QT freighter variant) is now available for PC/Xbox on MSFS 2020 Marketplace, and for PC on MSFS 2024 Marketplace. Hopefully the Xbox MSFS 2024 version will be released on Monday. Martyn - Just Flight

Please try downloading the latest installers (ending in ‘a’) if you were encountering the issue with the originals. Note that this is a large EXE installer and therefore there will be a delay before the installer window pops up. If it doesn't happen after a minute or two then please contact the support team. We are in the process of uploading ZIP versions of the installers as alternatives for those of you having issues with the running of the EXE installers. Note that is a separate issue to the one already fixed with activation. Martyn - Just Flight

Yes, it looks like the MSFS 2024 effect system is rendering that quite differently to when it was originally configured for MSFS 2020. We’ll add that to the list for the next round of PA28 and PA38 updates. Martyn - Just Flight

Sorry for missing this one. That is exactly as per the real aircraft that we based our product on (from my flying club). The right fuel gauge was replaced at some stage with a slightly different style of gauge. Martyn - Just Flight

Hi all. We were aiming to release updates today but have decided to postpone until tomorrow to give us more time for installer and testing work. Coming tomorrow (PA28 Arrow III v11.1, Turbo Arrow III/IV v6.1, Warrior II v4.1): - PMS50 GTN750 not showing and the GNS430/530 not powering on (PA28 Arrow/Turbo Arrow bundle only) - GPS screen brightness logic improved - now defaults to full brightness, combined navigation/radio light switch tooltip now shows more info on position - Interactive paper charts enabled again and WASM crash issue fixed - Tweaks to Warrior flight model pitch Also coming soon (not necessarily tomorrow): - Overhead dome light artwork improved - Engine manifold and fuel flow gauge needles made longer to better match real aircraft (PA28 Arrow/Turbo Arrow only) - Custom fuel and payload menu added to our EFB tablet Thanks for all the continued feedback, and patience with resolving the bundle issues over the weekend. As mentioned earlier, these updates are focused on bringing the PA28s to MSFS 2024 largely as-is, with more significant upgrades planned for later in the year, once we've finished bringing our other aircraft to MSFS 2024, released the F70/100 etc. Martyn - Just Flight

Can you also check if you have any controls assigned to the navigation lights as that might be forcing the combined navigation/radio light rocker switch back to the first 'notch'. Martyn - Just Flight

Do you mean that the radio lights rocker switch skips? You're correct that it controls the brightness of the GTN screens. The first notch controls the navigation lights and then the remaining notches control the radio lights and GTN screen brightness between 0 and 100%. Does it make any difference if you use legacy rather than lock interaction mode?

Hi all. As we prepare to release the Vulcan on the MSFS 2024 Marketplace, we've just released a v1.3 update, which includes some fixes and improvements for both MSFS 2020 and 2024.
