MSFS2024 compatibility?

LostPilot

@lilycrose No products from Just Flight can be installed to MSFS 2024 presently via the installers. All of the installers look for MSFS 2020's UserOpt.cfg file. If you don't have MSFS 2020 installed, it outright fails. If you have MSFS 2020, you could try copying the addon's files from the 2020 Community folder to the 2024 Community folder, but I don't know if it would work.

@LostPilot Thanks, and I tried to do that with the BkSq Bonanza. You could see the aircraft in the selection, though it was a bit weird, but when you tried to load it to fly, it would never load.

The same for me with the King Air and Caravan. You see it in selection but the flight never fully loads.
Cheers

@Derek WOW! Awesome news!! Thank you for pointing this out!

And the Commander 114! Also awesome! When I was about 12 my dad rented a Commander 112 a few times, I always liked that plane. Hugely looking forward to that!

For those wondering about getting the Dukes working for now in FS2024 - Copy your Duke aircraft folders from your FS2020 community folder to the FS2024 community folder. Also, if you want to keep your engine hours and maintenance condition, etc. then find the state.cfg file for each aircraft, and copy them to their respective FS2024 locations as well. I flew the Grand Duke last night and it worked very well in FS2024. There are some animation issues as mentioned elsewhere in this forum by Nick, from what I could find this mainly consisted of the altimeter and altitude preselect window appearing strangely when they move. This is in no way a show-stopper though and I find the aircraft perfectly usable for now.

Awesome times in flight simulation are upon us, and more are soon to come with the new Professional editions of the Analog Overhaul aircraft, the Starship, and the Commander 114! I couldn't be more excited for what is ahead.

I did a copy and paste of the prop and turbine, and the turbine did great. Only issue is the prop does not show up in the 2024 list. If I delete the turbine, then the prop shows up.

Good to know. I tried the Bonanza, but I also copied a 3rd party livery, I'm guessing that was at least part of the issue, also the Bo is a mod of a 2020 aircraft. I'll try the Duke and maybe the TBM this weekend.

I have tried the Turbine Duke, it works 90% but the altitude indicators and baro numbers are wrong. That makes it unplayable for the moment. Also something fishy seems to happen with the amperometers fluctuating more than usual and the cabin thermometer is showing wrong temperature in comparison with the tablet which seems to be the correct one.

@sumnersd With both piston and turbine in 2024, it seems what it is actually doing is combining them - Look in the variants and liveries and you will see it's all there, it's just laid out in a really weird way.

I'm sure this will be sorted out when updated for 2024, but it is all still there to access.

After moving B60's into 2024 community folder the mags on the Grand Duke and I assume piston duke are not moveable..... and when using the CNTL+E it crashes the sim each time. I hope a patch is forthcoming....
