    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Carenado 408 Sky Courier

I'd assume the answer is no, since the 408 was done under contract to Asobo/Microsoft, so it's probably exclusive to FS2024.

Plus, it's becoming increasingly clear that the "MSFS airplanes will work just fine in FS2024" statements were, shall we say, a bit too optimistic, so wouldn't be at all surprised if converting it to work in MSFS required way more work than it's worth.

Agree. While FS2020 aircraft may work in FS2024, I am sure the reverse is not true. I would bet good money that Carenado's contract with M$ stated the 408 had to be FS2024 native. Actually I was surprised how many new Carenado aircraft are included in FS2024.
 
I can't imagine anyone will do the 408 for FS2020 at this point.

2024 is a total mess, but MS will get it fixed up and I imagine most support will move to the new sim. The economics of doing a relatively pedestrian plane like the 408 for an older sim when it comes "free" in the current sim make zero sense.
