How To Use MSFS 2020 Scenery In MSFS 2024 - Are They Compatible? | Find Your New Community Folder

When the new MSFS 2024 was announced, Asobo told us that any scenery bought for MSFS 2020 would be usable in the new simulator. Well, today I decided to put that to the test! We take a look at some newer scenery from MSFS 2020 and also some really old MSFS 2020 scenery to see if they work or cause problems if trying to use them in MSFS 2024!

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.

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 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.

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.

That's fantastic! Well done. I'm going straight upstairs to copy my Pyreegue Edinburgh Airport scenery over...

[bobmarino]

Thanks so much, a great help. I am sure that you have been told that you sound exactly like Richard Hammond from Top Gear!

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

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!

[Cloudrider]

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

[chriskouvoutsakis]

They "work" but they aren't fully compatible.. I tried flytampa yssy and grass textures were flat, there was none of that auto gen grass in the grassy area's.. the terminals and most of it looked okay but the terrain needs updating to work with the new engine.

[ChrisAX]

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

[Dr.GD]

Want to see how third party AI traffic looks too. FS traffic or FSLTL.

[JB_DaSimmer]

Great video, this was definately one of my concerns. I've also found that the MSFS Map Enhancenment Mod has been updated and works well. It also improves load time. Additionally, the Lossless scaling App has been a huge help with fps.

[cptsean]

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?

[ArthurFuxake]

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!

[tvrubenjo]

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

[DrthDuck]

You can change the place of the Community folder

[nlhockey]

When I go into my library and select something to install, there is no option to install it

[JobuRum]

I held my breath at Schipol with you. haha It's always been tough on my system.
