FlightSim Studio released a statement on the transition from Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 (MSFS 2020) to MSFS 2024. It has spoken about aircraft compatibility, and Flight Sim Studio (FSS) has now provided clarity on the state of its lineup. Here’s a breakdown if you’re eager to know which aircraft are ready for MSFS 2024.
Compatibility Status
E-Jets Family
- Not Compatible with MSFS 2024.
- Development will continue for MSFS 2020 for now.
- A compatible version for MSFS 2024 is planned for the future.
727-200F
- Not Compatible with MSFS 2024.
- An upgraded version for the new simulator is in the works.
Tecnam P2006T Family
- Partially Functional in MSFS 2024.
Tecnam P2012
- Awaiting internal testing.
And for the SeaRey Elite? As development has ended, compatibility issues will not be addressed. However, it is Likely Not Compatible with MSFS 2024.
One specific case highlighted by FSS involved the Tecnam P2012 unexpectedly appearing in MSFS 2024 without their approval. In a community update, FSS shared:
“Hi @everyone, just a heads up—the Tecnam P2012 appeared in MSFS 2024 without our approval. And guess what: the aircraft is not working. However, as this aircraft is not too complex, we should be able to get it running soon. Our progress is promising so far. 🙂“
The Future of MSFS 2024 Compatibility
While FSS plans to bring most of its aircraft to MSFS 2024, users may need to purchase an upgrade for some models. FSS clarified that fees would depend on the amount of development work required. In some cases, the upgrade might even be free if minimal changes are necessary.
Key Takeaway
Many of FSS’s aircraft remain tied to MSFS 2020, but upgrades are on the horizon. Frustrations are understandable, but these challenges highlight the complexities of transitioning between simulator platforms. Stay tuned for updates as testing continues and compatibility improves.
