One I have been waiting for, and now in the Marketplace - not sure what the price is for new owners, but it's £28.19 for those who bought the MSFS2020 model. From their Discord, this is what you get:

F-111E v2.0.0 for MSFS 2024 — Release Announcement
We’re happy to announce the release of the F-111E v2.0.0 for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. This is not a simple port of the previous aircraft. Version 2.0.0 is a majorly reworked and expanded MSFS 2024-native version, adapted to the new simulator and its current SDK capabilities. :

: What’s new in F-111E v2.0.0
  • Fully native version built for the MSFS 2024 SDK
  • New Aircraft Options Tablet
  • Integration with the MSFS 2024 EFB Flight Planner
  • Automatic synchronization of route and navigation data
  • New FLIGHTPLAN / NAV / TACAN / ADF / COM pages, with key data also displayed on cockpit reference cards
  • New autopilot mode for automatic flight along the loaded route
  • Significantly reworked Autopilot logic
  • Reworked Fuel System
  • Reworked cockpit and exterior lighting
  • New advanced LOADOUT system with:
    • individual station loading
      • predefined presets
      • user presets
      • symmetry load
      • fuel control
      • loadout weight, gross weight, and MTOW status display
  • New Ground Services functionality:
    • Ground Power Unit
      • Ground Start Unit
      • MA-1A Starter Cartridge
  • Completely new weapons and external stores system
  • Separate support for pylons / racks / ammunition as individual suspension levels
  • Single and Ripple release logic
  • Individual release and jettison logic for each station
  • Built-in weapon employment limits based on:
    • wing sweep
      • pitch
      • bank
      • G-load
      • altitude
  • Full weapon launch and release functionality available through the separate GKS Community Weapons Module
  • Without the module, external stores can still be loaded and displayed visually, while pylon and external fuel tank jettison remains available
  • Updated visual effects and multiple adjustments for proper operation in MSFS 2024
Overall, F-111E v2.0.0 is a major upgrade of the aircraft’s systems, navigation, configuration, and weapons functionality — not simply a compatibility update for the new simulator. This version also becomes the foundation for the future development of the F-111E in MSFS

The 2024 model looks well sorted. I'd cut these GKS developers a bit of slack given the fact the Putin is sending drones and missles to their homes every day. (and night)

True enough. I imagine their coding skills are focused on very serious matters during the day.
 
Yeah, doubtless next time I feel the need to go tactical my resolve will break...I see Upper Heyford, UK home of the F111 most times I fly in R/L and there is some interesting new scenery I need to try...
 
I've bought it, and so far it looks okay. I'm not sure the extended wing droop on the ground is accurate, but I'm sure there are people here with experience with the real thing. More to come...
 
There’s just one thing I didn’t quite understand: was it reworked using the 2024 SDKs? I’m asking because, during the external inspection, I can actually walk through the aircraft. That shouldn’t happen with native 2024 aircraft, should it? Or am I missing something?

Hmm interesting, I often thought this too however I just recently took a 2020 aircraft and imported to 24 and I could not walk through the aircraft so I don't know what controls this or how this works. Im sure someone can chime in and shed some light on this.
