MSFS 2024

Flight Sims
123

I haven’t had time to watch all of the hype videos yet, but would like to ask if any of these were answered.

  1. Are MSFS 2020 add-on aircraft compatible?

  2. Are any other add-ons compatible, like Airshow Assistant?

  3. Are all of the area updates to MSFS 2020 going to need to be downloaded again?

  4. Have they announced a release date?

Thanks

Dan, yes, they are saying that 99% of aircraft will be compatible on the new sim. You won’t have to rebuy anything.

Not sure about Airshow Assistant.

World updates are, I believe, all taken care of on the server side.

I believe late November all being well for the release.

  1. If the aircraft are bought in the marketplace, they will be compatible. Bought outside the marketplace, 3rd party dependent. 3rd devs may or may not charge an update fee to update it to 2024 features.

  2. IDK

  3. Almost everything will be in the cloud now. All the scenery modules we previous downloaded will not need to be downloaded separately. If you fly in that area, you will download what’s needed…every time. There is some caching possible, but not clear on what size/area. Probably data will be huge. (slow connections and data caps will not like 2024)

  4. Nov 19th

Edit, dang, Paul beat me to it.

Haha.

Thanks for the info guys. I will hold off buying the Airshow Assistant. Just bought the B-2 Spirit in the Marketplace.

  1. I bet the game will be a parallel install to MSFS 2020. So a completely new download.

But a smaller one, it’ll need less disk space somehow.

When I purchased there was an immediate separate install on my XBOX.

I’ll wait for Steam pre-order, but going to buy.

Tempted to get the aviator pack, as it has a lot of AC that I’ve debated getting all in one nice package. Then @groovechampion made an excellent point about time available to fly them all. Add on @saghen’s info that AC bought through the marketplace should transfer over and I’ll probably just stick with the basic.

I might pre-order, but honestly I haven’t been doing too much civilian flying in the last few months. Getting my massive MSFS install off the SSD would be nice, but I might wait for it to have a sale and save a few dollars.

While I am happy to jump on the new MSFS version I am still considering which edition to buy. I was considering the Aviator edition but with this new statement

it looks like I would end up buying a number of content again. Will check for the MSFS 2024 unique aircraft in each edition and then take a decision :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

I’m glad they’re working on fixing the issues with 2020, but the data download requirements are going to make it a no-go for me.

Australian internet sucks outside the big cities.

if we have to buy a completely new game would both be compatable in multi player otherwise can a msfs2020 player do multi flights with a msfs2024 player ?
