Thanks for your report! In 2020, when you first install, it will ask you where you want not only the community folder but also the "official" folder. Hopefully, the official folder can be relocated, too, as my C drive is almost full.

Hopefully, soon an updated installer will fix the license transfer to 2024.

Yeah it moves the official folder when you move the Community one as well to the same directory.

We've posted some news on 2024 compatibility here, along with screenshots of the RJ: https://www.justflight.com/articles/more-information-about-just-flight-aircraft-in-msfs-2024

Just out of curiousity is the license tied to the folder you installed the aircraft in, or your system ID, incase i want to move my 2020 folder to another drive during computer space rearranging.

I tried to set another Community folder. Conformed, but after restarting 24, it reverted back…

There are a bunch of hacks, but if you use the program to change the location of the folder, it seems to stick.

Will try again today…

Didn’t work.
But with MSFS addonlinker I can manage

I'm having trouble trying to get it to install into 2024 instead of 2020. I even found and deleted the license in the registry and it did ask me for the license again, but never asked where I wanted the file installed. It just automatically finds my 2020 community folder and installs there. This was using simmarket product.

Is there a workaround or would I have to uninstall 2020 to get it to ask or look at 2024?

Sergekoko

The product is officially not supported yet for 2024 based on a recent announcement, until some updates for compatibility are made, i dont think it will work right now regardless how you try to install it (maybe you can who knows). Im sure they will get a 2024 friendly version out as soon as they can once they have some time to figure out what needs changed from 2020.

Neither. It was posted elsewhere it looks for an MSFS .cfg file to know where to point. If you remove MSFS 2020, it won't install at all.

Nothing is looking for 24 yet, you have to install it for 20 and then manually drag it over to the 24 community folder in order to try it.

That said, apparently the license feature isn't happy with 24, among other things.

I managed to get it to load, it involves copying the licence information from 2020 to 2024 location. Not sure if I should share the steps here though. So unless just flight staff gives me a green light on this, I won't be sharing the steps.

And no idea how it will fly.

Yeah. My task today is also to puzzle out how to do this.

Did you try flying it yet?

p919h_lm

@brahmi yes I did a short flight in fact. Seemed all right. Didn't do any detailed flights as my sim controls and spad were not playing nice together.
