Pilot and Copilot avatars

Hi
I also notes the same. I am Also surprised that I have Chase Plane which disables the aviators in external view in MSFS 2024 but in the Caravan pro I have the old 2020 aviators. Also i noted I did not have to do the walk around?
At first i thought I had a senior moment and installed the 2020 version into 2024 but i checked and the installers are for 2024
I wonder if an error has happens i.e. the developers named the installers the wrong way around.
But what do I Know?
Best wishes.

Exactly. It's like a step backwards. Previous BS aircraft, while had the copilot disabled (could be enabled by pasting a few lines of code), used the native MSFS 2024 avatars. I am hoping exactly what you described, that it's just an installer naming issue and the correct installer will be uploaded soon. Fingers crossed.

Oh no.. I hope they have a hot fix out soon.

It is actually still a lets call it legacy native package and not a full native package. I had hopes that the Caravan would be the first real native package but as all JF and BS products its still the old structure. That will make in addition repainting a pain again with spamming versions and not liveries I assume. But not checked yet. And it opens doors for this compatibility remains like avatars and such.
(on the other hand it makes it easier for the Devs to keep work for 2020 and 2024 in parallel to a maintainable overhead... one death we have to die but I don't mean that as a negative point at all

But the previous products utilized the native avatars. Although the copilot avatar was disabled, when you activated it using a few lines of code (from these forums), you had the native MSFS 2024 avatars. But now, even the pilot itself is the old one. I genuinely hope it's just the installers being mixed up.

Thanks guys, well spotted.
Fixed now. If you redownload you should get v1.0.0a with fixed files.@Rich only the cargo updated yet, or? pax still on old download?
-
@Rich thanks for the quick check. Otherwise the first flight was a blast already. Very niiiiiice

@Y82578
"Install_Caravan_Pro_AmphibCargo_MSFS2024_v0.1.0a.exe" is the file you want.
The bundle gets you both installers, rather than one containing both, so you should see download links for both. -

)@Rich Thanks for quickly resolving whatever happened here, Rich. Glad to see it's fixed now.

Just to clarify, all of my aircraft released for MSFS 2024 are "real native package[s]". As I have explained several times in the past, the modular aircraft file structure is entirely optional, and does not limit the available features or compatibility of the aircraft in any way. Asobo says this in almost those exact words within their documentation. As far as my aircraft are concerned, the modular file structure is a further abstraction from which they do not particularly benefit. As I understand it, large airliners benefit the most, and also other workflows for modeling aircraft, which I do not personally use.

I can't see my copilot inside the cockpit or outside either. I selected the option in the efb.
