FS2024 Marketplace to launch with native ‘24 products only

So instead of fixing FS2020 compatibility issues (will we ever see pilots or usable digital displays?) to the point where they can comfortably offer 2020 products, they’re just only going to launch native 2024 products. This also means that 2020 planes that are enabled in 2024 won’t get fixes and updates to fix compatibility issues that devs implement.

I have to hand it to Asobo. I was a hardcore MSFS addict. Spent multiple hours every week flying, checking out new add-ons, promoting their product with screen shots, etc.

Now, I load FS2024 about once a week to see if any of my post-launch Marketplace purchases have shown up in my library yet (they haven’t) or if SU1 has launched (it hasn’t). Indications from devs are that that stuff like the displays and the missing pilots were fixed before the holidays but still haven’t been released to users.

So thanks, Asobo. Your handling of this has helped cure an addiction that goes back to the C64. At least the new Indiana Jones game is fantastic and I have more time to play that. Appreciate the unintentional intervention.
 
Reading more closely, as developers update their FS2020 planes, it implies PC users will be able to download the updates using FS2020 and copy/paste them to FS2024.

* Wow, that’s just an embarrassingly hacky “solution”
* My experience so far with FS2020–>FS2024 was that Marketplace purchases copied over from 2020 didn’t show in 2024. But that might change when 2024 Marketplace ships, I suppose.
