Black Square Updates for MSFS2024
-
Thanks for your kind words, both of you. I also realized something else that I should have added. I also do not have any plans to stop supporting MSFS 2020 for the time being. It is clear to me that the majority of my users are, at least presently, still using 2020 for various reasons. I want to ensure that they are well served for the best simulation experience possible.

First off, I absolutely love the level of detail of these aircraft. Just wanted to get that said. but I have had some issues with the duke. I bought it off of the msfs 2020 market place. works fine in 2020, but will not transfer. Ive tried putting it in the 2024 community folder, official folder, and nothing has worked. I had bought the caravan the same way and it worked right away, and still does. I don't know what ive done differently or wrong, if i could get some help that would be awesome

I have the bonanza, baron and king air all from just flight, and i did what everyone's done; enable the 2020 versions. When I purchased the caravan, i did the same thing and it appeared in the selection right away. but with the duke, given that it doesn't need an included aircraft like the rest, i assumed it would just appear but it isn't even in my library. the only dukes that appear are the ones i tried putting in my community, but those don't enable.
@Black-Square If you have any insight that would be awesome

Unfortunately, I have no insights to share with you. I can't imagine why one would work and not the other. Unless anyone else has an idea here, I would suggest contacting Just Flight support. They deal with all the installer issues, and I suspect they might know what's going on here.
While I'm not planning on "supporting" the transfer of the Steam Gauge Overhaul fleet into MSFS 2024, we should definitely be able to get the Duke into MSFS 2024 for you asap. It pains me to think about the bugs that it currently has when the 2020 version is just copied over, but hopefully those are mostly just small things that only I notice...

All updates to MSFS 2024 will be free. I appreciate your sentiment :)
I saw some confusion regarding the Professional Series after one of my new posts, while we're all discussing things here. Those new aircraft, which some might call "updates" of the Steam Gauge Overhaul Series will not be free, though they will come at a discount for existing owners. The Professional Series aircraft represent around 1,000hrs of work each, and roughly a doubling of the scope of each aircraft. In short, my goal was to create new aircraft that I could be really proud of. The longer story is as follows...
When MSFS 2024 became available, I immediately assessed the difficulty of porting the Steam Gauge Overhaul Series to the new sim. When it became clear that this would take an abundance of effort, if it was possible at all (I was thoroughly thwarted at every turn), I decided it would be far smarter to work on standalone aircraft with loads of new features, rather than spend the same amount of time just to get already aging software into a new simulator that would continue to fight me every step of the way. Creating standalone aircraft frees me of many limitations, increases maintainability drastically, and allows me to focus on new simulation experiences that otherwise would not have happened. I hope the majority of you agree with this approach, but I thought I would take the time to explain it more completely.

For the bonanza, baron, and king air, i took the downloaded version from just flight and places into my community folder in 24. then enabled the official 2020 versions within streamed library. for the caravan, the bksq version appeared as a selection. and all i had to do was, again, enable the streamed 20 caravan. but for the duke, i tried copying, to anywhere i could think and it never pops up as a selection and cannot be enabled from community folder. i hope this helps

@Black-Square It is fair that we get a discount for the analog series. They will be better. Once we are there, everything will be fine. Appreciate ur consideration. It is just unfortunate that the old models are problematic.

@zman7887 Also. I have been doing some testing. What has worked for me is:
For tha analaog series: Baron, Bonanza, King Air and Caravan.
Copy the community from 2020 to 2024 and copy the official 2020 to the community 24. Besides that u have to give preference to the community files over the streamed, otherwise images wont load. All 4 work.For the Dukes and TBM just copy the community folder from 2020 to 2024.
They ALL work!!!
Thx
