The software supplied to the MS store is usually the same as that sold elsewhere (WW2 German markings and weapons excepted). Until FS2024 is released, of course, no one will be able to confirm 100% if anything is actually compatible. However, most devs (JF included) have said that FOC upgrades will be provided assuming that MS is correct when they have stated that the work required to port over to FS2024 will not be too onerous.

Worth noting that Microsoft has, unlike X-Plane, never licensed their FS software for training puposes - hence ESP and P3D. It has always been a game - albeit one that has tried its best to simulate real flight. There seems to be no reason to assume that the core flight model is going to change for 2024. They haven't announced that it will become a new version of Crimson Skies or Rescue Pilot.
