MSFS 2024

It is, of sorts. But you’ll get the reference when I give you the answer…

Not because it is easy, but because it is hard.

I had posted a video recently of my (mostly positive) experience in the game as far as FPS, and as I suspected would happen, I was accused of image manipulation and trickery. Par for the course.

Man…you are selling me on the “game” part of the sim. Long, long ago I wrote about FSX and how “fun” it was…with all the challenges and training and stuff. It sounds like MSFS2024 is trying to get back to those roots.

Well, Chris, I have already talked you into one sim recently. My quota is maxed. I recommend waiting for at least the next service update. It’s REALLY frustrating right now. But it will be great.

Heads-UP!

A server-side update has been performed for Career Mode in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, which restores some missing missions in the following categories:

  • Commercial Flight (Airplane and Rotorcraft)
  • Private Charter
  • Search and Rescue

Players do not need to relaunch MSFS 2024 to see these changes take effect in Career Mode.

Sorry but im out of resources. Im trying to instal Valor. Its a group of WW2 Avitars for MSFS2020. I dl the package but cant find how to make it work. Any help appreciated. Ive tried 10 diffrent ways to put it in the Comunity package to no avail.

Are you having trouble finding the correct community folder location?

By the way, its apparently not Compatible with MSFS 2024

Its the right one. The one i have my aircrafts in. Im on 2020 till the 2024 s#+tshow is over.

No problem, I was just asking because this is the MSFS 2024 thread

I don’t have it installed currently, but I recall just dropping it in the Community folder.

Is it possible that you have somehow put it in the wrong layer (i. e. dropping the main zip folder into the Community folder rather than some folder within it)?

Only thing I can think of.

Looks pretty cool! This guy should try his hand at correcting the horrendous default Niagara falls in 2020/2024
