Catalina that Flies in MSFS 2024?

[Twice43]

Anyone aware of a PBY-5A or other variant of the Catalina that can be flown in MSFS 2024?

Yes, this one by French-VFR - click the small download icon at the bottom the page. The username is pilote, the password is virtuel (french spellings).

Thanks T1962.
Currently flying in Florida and it's going nicely, AP works, quite regal as it slowly undulates in the wind.
Thank you la gaffe [sp?]

Lagaffe PBY over central Florida. Can't figure out why my screen shots are washed out.
Anyway, great vintage aircraft to fly.

I can't get the preview to show on these cats.

You have HDR turned on, most likely. HDR screenshots are washed out. I believe if you use Microsoft's Game Bar for captures it will save an HDR and non-HDR version. Otherwise, just turn off HDR when doing screen shots.

Try dragging the layout.json onto msfslayoutgenerator.exe -- sometimes that can fix issues with content not showing up in MSFS 2024.



(Aside: After seeing there was already a copy in my Canso folder, I ran Agent Ransack on my MSFS 2020 and 2024 addon manager folders to search for the app. Turns out I had 222 copies of the app! Deleted 221 of them.)

I have 2 Community folders.
One like you, that doesn't work, & another attached to the long winded C:\User\name\Appdata\--- Limitless\ --- pathway.
& its a Community folder, not Community24.
Everything in there works, shows up in MSFS 2024 scenario set up in the aircraft choices, including the Lagaffe PBY's. Perhaps look at placing the unzipped PBY download in the long winded pathway Community folder?

That didn't work either.

I saw this info and made changes as per info and that was a no go.

I didn't do any of the above adjustments, I just downloaded the file into MSFS 2024, , unzipped it & changed the destination folder to C\ long & winding road-----\Community. I can confirm the reflections on the inner windscreen, but overall, the aircraft is charming & a delight to fly.
If you need more info on the Community folder location I can provide that.
Good luck.

I don't have a community folder on my C drive just my P drive.
