There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

That is what I want. I no longer have 2020 on my computer. I wonder if the 2020 version works well in 2024?

Nope, they're not making the 2020 version available to 2024 fliers, because they have a fully native 2024 version that was just submitted to MS testing. It could be out as early as next week, or as long as "who knows" given the Marketplace testing pipeline issues.
Their Discord did confirm the 2024 version will be a free upgrade for people who buy the 2020 release.
Anxious to hear impressions from folks who buy the 2020 version! I like their T-7, and their old freeware F-22 was nice. (I didn't buy the payware F-22 because it was overpriced, and I didn't buy the B-2 because I already had the other one.)

Thanks Denny. I will wait. Not doing much with Flight Sims these days anyway.

Well, I'll just bring an incomplete and possibly misleasing feedback here, so don't take it too seriously please 
I bought the plane for MSFS2020 and installed it right away, but I haven't tried it in MSFS2020 yet.
However I could "activate" it in my MSFS2024 library, and I could do a quick test flight. The cold&dark startup seemed to work perfectly, but the subsequent flight revealed a few issues with the flight model: the aircraft doesn't keep its pitch at low speeds, and any speed higher than 400 knots led to severe fluttering of the elevators and loss of control. So just like the author said, the plane seems to be INCOMPATIBLE with MSFS2024.
I will report if the same issues occur in MSFS2020.

Sorry for the lack of feedback, as I have only found the time for a very short flight in MSFS2020 this time :/
I can summarize by telling that I absolutely love the aircraft. The cockpit is very nicely done although I have barely scratched the surface of the various available features.
Basically I have just done a quick cold&dark flight which ended in mid-flight because I had to leave from the computer
Since I haven't read the manual yet, I am not able to make the pilot 3D model disappear from the cockpit view, which is a bit annoying. A click area to switch it on/off would be nice.
In VR I can move around to find my buttons but it's still a bit annoying.
However the few things I've seen, I really enjoyed. The aircraft didn't suffer from the flutters that I had experienced in MSFS2024 so it's a nice start
That being said, the aircraft did not maintain its pitch when flying at less than 300 knots. It was slowly pitching down.
But this is a minor issue to me, because the major strong point is that there is no deadzone on the pitch axis, which means I'll be able to practise the aerial refuelling with that bird
... after I set up the contact point, that is. So far Airshow Assistant does not recognize the YF-23 by default, so you have to set the contact point by yourself... and of course I realized this too late. This will be done for the next testing session.
