Carenado T-34 released [Marketplace]

I thought the 2024 version would get you an entitlement for the 2020 version. But not yet. I don’t fly 2020 anymore but loaded it today to check for this. Nope.
 
This encrypted nonsense is frustrating. People using the older sim have access to customize and adjust, and people using the "flagship" sim are far more limited. MSFS2024 is a huge step forward, but definitely with a few small steps backward. :rolleyes:
Hopefully, the texture layout on the Mentor is pretty much the same between the 2020 and the 2024 versions, so that any 2020 liveries that may show up can be easily converted into 2024 formats.
I haven't purchased this plane (which was one of my favorites back in FSX) due to the Marketplace encryption, and I'm certainly not going to buy it twice just for the privilege of being able to view the files. Yeesh.
 
I've only downloaded the YS-11, just to see...you can see the folder and file structure and see the texture files but they can't be opened with the NVidia texture converter. I think this is where Asobo have extended the DXT2 file structure, there was a post to that effect on the official forum. Maybe other tools can open them?

I've had more success using the VFSProjector to see textures and config files...don't tell Asobo but sometimes I've been able to see the config files of supposedly encrypted files...
ive never heard of the YS-11 before, thats my kind of aircraft, still cant get 2020 to load, think its been a year or more now. thought i was going to be able to get '24 this month, but as allways, something stupid happens and my spare money gets used. that was me whining again.
