Xbox version now available on the Marketplace

However the bomb weight loading entires are still visible in the menu. It just doesn’t allow you to save the weight to that row item. The issue is now with weight and balance, if you don’t want to fly in tanker configuration. This version should at least provide “generic” load lines to replace the weapons so that we can simulate the weight and balance of such missions. Else all MS has provided is the “Tanker” version of the product, which is not the fully version off the main site we have paid for. This should be clearly communicated.

@jmittiga The Vulcan on the marketplace includes the same three variants as the non-marketplace version: B.2, K.2 and MRR. Each of these variants can be selected and configured in the same realistic configurations in the marketplace product as they can in the non-marketplace product. The only difference between the two products is the inclusion of the weapons, which sadly, is a Microsoft policy that we have to abide by if we want products to be made available on the marketplace.
We are investigating what options we have on our end to supply a patch for PC users who would like to see the weapons in the marketplace product, but at this time we are unable to give any timeframe or a guarantee if this will be possible.

What the path forward for those of us on PC that bought the Marketplace version without being told it was a different version than was originally offered and released?
It may be possible to release a 'weapons patch' for MarketPlace PC users in the future, but, as you point out, that won't work for console owners.
That would be very much appreciated to have the option to get them back for PC users, thanks, hopefully you guys can get that pushed out.

Thanks Mark, a PC patch for us Marketplace buyers that had no idea they were missing would be fantastic. Loving the Vulcan otherwise!
Thank you

A quick update on this, I spoke to the rest of the development team this morning and it looks like we ran into a roadblock with the method we were planning to use to enable the use of the weapons on the marketplace versions of the Vulcan. We do have another method that we think will work but it does require quite a bit of work and updating of the core Vulcan files so we will complete that as part of the next update to the Vulcan.
There is not a date set in stone yet for the next Vulcan update, but there is some work currently on going on some additions to the rest of the product, so the next update shouldn't be too far away.

Due to some recent changes in marketplace policies, static weapons are now allowed on products sold in the in-game marketplace. Therefore, the weapons will be enabled by default in the next update to the Vulcan and there will no longer be a requirement for a weapons patch.
The Vulcan will be our next aircraft to be given the MSFS 2024 compatibility treatment. Expect more info very soon!
