An update for 2024 compatibility please
-
I have been working on MSFS 2024 compatibility since my last update in the Just Flight News section a few weeks ago. I was planning to release all the compatibility updates when the MSFS 2024 Marketplace became available, but I was away recording sounds for the Starship this week. The updates are ready to go on my end, but unfortunately, there has still been no fix to the exterior registration issues with MSFS 2020 aircraft in MSFS 2024, so I feel a little silly releasing the aircraft with that glaring issue. I will try to get some answers from Asobo soon about that issue, but if it doesn't seem like a solution is forthcoming, I will release the compatibility updates regardless.

Bit confused here - at least on my side, this has been fixed for a while. 2024 initially didn't honour any registrations but halfway through SU1 beta this was fixed. Still working as far as I can tell. Have flown it many hours in 2024 since then, and it seems to be working equally well as in 2020. The improved lighting also complements the plane well.
Quick test, and as far as I can tell, it still works today:

Thank you for that. I'll take another look today. It's hard to know when things change when the updates are continuous, but they roll out to different users at slightly different times. The registration issue I'm speaking of is not whether the user defined registration is honored (that's thankfully fixed), but whether it's drawn on the airplane, or the entire registration area appears white or black.
Did you load that flight for the screenshot without visiting the aircraft configuration menu? The last time I checked, the registration would work fine, so long as you didn't preview the aircraft in the selection menu...

Ahh - I see.
Did load up quickly just to check, and wrote that new reg to fit my text. So I believe I must have been through the config menu this time around. My normal reg has been showing properly in all my regular flying as well.Didn't fully play around to see if it still fails in some situations though, so could be not 100 % robust, but at least for my use, it has been satisfactory. I believe I have had some planes reg look wrong in the config menu, but when you actually go flying in it, it spawns in and looks fine.

Just as a quick followup on my side to maybe provide you with an additional data point.
I went into the config manager - changed livery - went and changed the tail number - went back to livery (cant really tell if it displayed properly in the preview render due to the engine blocking it at that angle) - spawned in. In the end it worked fine with a New Tail Number.
Don't own other of your aircraft, but for my Comanche, I can see the issue, with the square covering the registration, but again it is only on the config screen. Always working once I actually spawn in.
For reference I'm on PC. -
I just bought this magnificent addon. Are you all talk about this?
This is 2024.
And it's flickering.

Dear @Black-Square , ive got question, If we will get compatibility for kingair soon or you will overdo it for your masterpiece level of duke? Default kingair is nearly unflyable and I am missing your product so much!!
