Great detective work. And also, it's worth a mention that MSFS Addons Linker has now been updated for 2024, so you should be able to just reference your existing scenery from the same custom folder you set up from before. On the compatibility front, it would be interesting to see about airports with a lot of terrain around, especially in areas where the DEM has been upgraded by MS. I am guessing we'll see some terrain elevation issues in those places.
Great update. If my Maccosim airport didn't work 2024 was definitely out. Will have to see how Brisbane, Coolangatta & Sydney work. Also FBW and Horizon aircraft. Will still give it a couple of months before I make the decision. Thanks once again for your videos.
None of the native 2024 aircraft are just have no bodies or instruments apart from the XCub in my FS2024, so importing a couple of aircraft I can use properly would be good. My Just Flight Piper Arrow III would be my first choice...
PMDG 737 works - lighting is a bit bugged and no sound. The Horizon 787 lighting is a bit bugged and no sound you also need to copy the Asbo 787 from 2020
A very important video!! Thanks for that. So far, I didn't want to switch yet, before the roush hour of 2024 purchases are over and the biggest issues have been solved. In any case, I want to avoid any mess by rushing everything into a new sim, while the older one would have worked OK. But the information in this video are a big step in trusting in the new sim.
Great work !! Thanks. Need to think about the 3rd party Installer Apps - they point to the old 2020 Community folders and sometimes their own install directories
When you have the airport on your drive and first load in it's precaching the shaders so it will go slow but once that's done you should be good to go!
Thanks so much for the video we all wanted to see the most. This is incredibly impressive and I won't waste any time in importing scenery. Of course there's still a ton of wiggle room for developers to optimise the scenery for MSFS 2024 and charge the "small fee" many are dying to implement. And that's fair enough if updated scenery genuinely does things that it can't in MSFS 2020. It's clearly a different story with tubeliners and there were some worrying noises from Robert Randazzo last night about the ease with which PMDG planes might be ported over. Still, this is a heck of start compared with all the hassles of converting FSX scenery to the last version. Thanks Gavin for answering everyone's #1 question.
We need a very nice grahpic settings guide for msfs2024 your sim looks very good and run so smooth! - thanks for this video hopefully we gonna get a good experince with 2024 soon!
With a maximum download speed of around 35mbps I'm thinking I will give this a miss until FTTP comes my way.Not programmed anytime soon so I will stick with 2020.I've got it working well. But thanks for all the videos.Always informative
I have some scenery that required the default airport to be deleted/disabled (in content manager when using 2020) but 2024 has no setting to turn off the streaming of specific airports!
I installed quite some airports and they work quite good. Performance is even better most of the time. Only the new lighting is off especially the green ones when approaching LOWW for example the Green Taxi lights are brighter than the white runway lights. But the brighter lights also are positive in the PAPIs. They are more visible especially from further away now
@@gwalker3092 Also with oficially marked 2024 Airports? In my opinion they should tune down green and make runway lighting and the white taxiway edge light brighter the PAPis are already on a good way. A little bit brighter like in Real Life would even be better but already in the right direction.
@ I xferred some simple ones across from 2020 the lights are ok but the green lights are at Egll and Egss for me for sure. I can only assume they are the default 2024 ones ? I bought the ini egss and Egll for 2020 but not tried moving them I’m just trying get some time flying atm if works
Hi, interesting video as usual thank you. Have you anything as large as the Heathrow airport yet and if so (as it has been handcrafted in 2024) how do you turn off the default MS airport or is that no longer necessary?
With addon linker installation for MSFS2024 you should be able to use MSFS2020 community folder of course it could be dangerous later if for example the MSFS2020 gets MSFS2024 update. Then if you want to maintain both sims you will need 2 folders. But if there are lets say airports which are abandoned and wont recieve any update than you will be fine with one folder for both sims.
Thanks a lot for this video, much appreciated. A bit off topic, but do you think you can make a video, too, on how to program the FS2024 A321 detents into a Thrustmaster Throttle Quadrant?
Big airports with asphalt runway seems ok but next time try with a little grass runway airport, pay and free. This would be interessant because of the new tree and new grass and texture.
Couldn't really check if the sceneries I made still work fine in 2024. Only tested a few so far but they require little to no work at all which is nice. The only problem I encountered so far is, that scenery objects that were initially placed with 2020's scenery editor show up very late and only if close enough to the object. This isn't something I can change obviously. I just hope they'll fix that
How would priorities work with EHAM? I imagine the handcrafted from asobo still will be streamed and then fly Tampa would be placed on top of that. In 2020 we had to uninstall the asobo one before using the 3rd party. Now we can't do that anymore
I loaded in Manchester as well and found loads of random aircraft all over the place despite switching everything off in the main menu in MSFS2024. Any tips as yours was empty ?
Have you any idea why my rudder pedals in the cockpit are stuck to the left? I can’t figure how to get them normal again… also, my mouse is extremely sensitive and no matter the settings it won’t change. Any idea thanks
You can also change the location of the Official and Community folders through a config file. I did that last night to make sure both sims were on the same drive.
I've seen a few videos of people entering the plane via the passenger door (airliners, etc) and can then walk around freely throughout the plane. If there is another way, I'd like to know this also as I never was able to do this in MSFS2020. People kept telling me to use the arrow keys but they just looked around inside of the cockpit for me.
You can even change it in the My Library in the Sim but it is very buggy so far. Is it more stable via the Config File? So far I also dont see the stuff I put in My Library but it is there in the World Map. Could also be solved with the Marketplace Release in the next couple weeks
Yes the config file is the way I did it. Can then use the latest Addons Linker ( has a separate MSFS exe and config setup) to link to your 2020 community addons and save a lot of disc space. I also prefer keeping stuff off my C: drive as much as possible.
I moved my community folder from C to my flight sim drive. Its installed on c by default and you definitely do not want that! 😮 there is a very certain way of moving the folder though. If anyone needs help. Please let me know
@TheCoastalDiamond i have a 1tb C drive as well and my community folder, as well as ma y others is very, very large 100's of gb's of mods, i know i can only speak for myself but I do not want a single games files taking up a lot of space on my boot drive, i only install desktop files, software, photos, etc on my boot drive (c). Any game files are strictly for my dedicated drives. I have 5 other drives for games D, E, F, G, and I are all of my game drives. Drive letter (I) is specifically for my flight sims. :)
@ibraheemnabeel open the msfs 2024 conifig file with notepad. Scroll to the way bottom and change the community folder installation path to your desired drive. Make sure you copy and paste the path where the current path is. Make sure you create a msfs 2024 new file on the drive you want. Restart the game and the official and community file will automatically populate in the path you choose.
In game, under the Store. Click on My Library and to the right of the search bar is a cog icon. Click that and you can see where your Community folder is and from there you can change where you want it to be.
Can't even get mine to work. Constantly comes up saying low bandwidth and if I click fly now I just get stuck on a screen that doesn't do anything. This launch is an absolute joke.
Good video as always. Not all airports are working. FlyTampa is fine of course. But I bought the CYUL airport from MKStudios and that s not working. Also the MaccoSim Cancun airport and the Vpilotdesign Cartagena airport don t work. I need to mention that these airports were bought on the Microsoft Marketplace and are not installed in the good old community folder. They re found in the Official folder and then in the Onestore folder and need to be installed in the 2024 Onestore folder. I find it very strange that these airports purchased in the Marketplace don t work in the new Sim. I hope this info is useful to someone. Thanks for posting.
Instead of having texture based objects most stuff seems to be cloud based, i.e. streamed textures, which is the most angst people have at this stage, for some early adopters. Just went into an airliner cockpit in MSFS 2024, and noticed blurry textures in some places, then the scenery would "pop" into slight sharpness. ( and yes I have fast internet). Nice snappy UI, vegetation, flight planning etc but disappointing at this early stage, not to mention the character creation screen !!£££???XXXXX ugh!!!!. what ?
Though what is annoying with FS2024. If you want to move community folder to another drive. One has to locate user config file, then add in the new community folder location. Fffn stupid you have to do this!
Hi there...and you whant to know why? Because you and thousands more were duped into thinking FS24 was all mew,but sorry,its the same engine! I knew it all along! But given were actualy living in 2024,thats how things and people are getting like!

Thanks @mdhazeldine, I was going to check on the Addons Linker later today to check compatibility but now I know.

That's fantastic! Well done. I'm going straight upstairs to copy my Pyreegue Edinburgh Airport scenery over...
now time to try and see if msfs 2020 aircraft work
Must don’t work
They are already there.

hi easyjetsim pilot great video as always and very helpful can i ask you if you will be able to make a video on how to get gsx to work in msfs2024?
I held my breath at Schipol with you. haha It's always been tough on my system.
Would have been nice to see at night to see if lights were working - nice job
Orbx, Burning Blue Design, FlyTampa and so many others. I'm going to be so busy copying and pasting and testing haha.
Excellent Gavin - as always. Could I ask what you use to operate your camera please?
Xbox hand controller mapped for drone works.
If you need the settings I use get back to me.
I have some scenery that required the default airport to be deleted/disabled (in content manager when using 2020) but 2024 has no setting to turn off the streaming of specific airports!
You can change the place of the Community folder
My insim purchases have showed up in the sim for scenery. Did not expect that.

I am curious about Add-Ons, GSX, SLC, etc.
I have made 2 airports and both are very well implemented in FS2024
I’m really liking this sim so far
Neil Birch’s UK Farm Strips work well in msfs 2024 🥳👍
Hi, interesting video as usual thank you. Have you anything as large as the Heathrow airport yet and if so (as it has been handcrafted in 2024) how do you turn off the default MS airport or is that no longer necessary?
Amsterdam, which is this video, is comperable with Heathrow.

Check for a possible bind conflict. Search rudder and if there is a conflict you will see a symbol near the bind indicating that

You can replace with %username%
How about the ai traffic? That’s the one thing I’m not a fan of is the default ai traffic, def prefure FSLTL or if something better comes along
what grapic setting have you got 2024 setup on
Almost all the airports I downloaded from marketplace were automatically downloaded back into my FS2024
where can i find my marketplace airports of 2020? :-)
Any FPS issues with the 2020 scenery in 2024 other than the cloud loading times?

Hello, do you have to Delete the Handcrafted Airports? Thank you
You can also change the location of the Official and Community folders through a config file. I did that last night to make sure both sims were on the same drive.
I was thinking this was causing performance issues. Does it help at all?
Want to see how third party AI traffic looks too. FS traffic or FSLTL.
I am on steam version but it never loads community addon scenery. I get stuck at the scenery loading page.
Wasn’t especially Inibuild saying that you must pay for compatibility? Well, I guess they won’t be your partner for long😅
Any idea how to move through the cabin?? I got the walk around but you can’t move through the cabin.

Thats my local go to too. Im Series X, only have Coningsby aswell and both not on 2024 but im sticking with 20 for a while.
Same mate my go to airport
Do you have to remove handcraft asobo airport if you have the same scenery payware like msfs2020?
We can't do that yet.
@Easyjetsimpilot but you installed flytampa Eham on top of the Handcrafted?
How do I fix broken scenery?
What about Community folder for Steam users?
Steam Version:
C:\Users\[YourUsername]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages\Community.
I've been having performance issues and low frames even though I'm on a 3080, 64Gbs of Ram and a Ryzen 9700X!
You can change the community folder path in the config file. Surprised nobody is making a video about this yet!
You can even change it in the My Library in the Sim but it is very buggy so far. Is it more stable via the Config File? So far I also dont see the stuff I put in My Library but it is there in the World Map. Could also be solved with the Marketplace Release in the next couple weeks

We Can create a symbolic link for to save Space in community folder and have this Space for somthing other
I want to know this also. We'd need something like Addon Linker for a start
ua-cam.com/video/Ga4BqZKOGGs/v-deo.html
The latest version of addonlinker works fine with both old 2020 third party aircraft and my orbx scenery.
Great video! I think as you said , sceneries are fine, but so far I've had no luck with FSLTL or AIG planes - looks asif they are completely ignored?
It seems FSLTL we’re not in the tech alpha so they are working in their base and injector now. Shouldn’t be too long I hope.
What about us X-Boxers ?
