MSFS2024 Launch

[DonT155]

If you're talking about the blank line that's the startup folder where the executable resides... that's going to change if you downloaded your version through Steam, the Microsoft store or - get this - The xbox app on the PC, which is where I downloaded mine from. My particular start path is here:

C:\XboxGames\Limitless\Content

The difference is that the executable is now NOT under any folder named Microsoft... Took me a while to find mine there too.

So anyway here's my folder list for the linker; Listed from the top option field to the bottom option field... Hopefully this helps some other people as well.

For the very top field My Addons Folders (Big empty box) Hit the "Add" button and add in the paths to where you will actually put your addons; I put mine in this path:
E:\Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe\Packages\Community

(This can be anywhere and any path that you want. I tried to keep the basic 2024 community folder structure on a different drive just because I have both 2020 and 2024 installed now)

MSFS 2024 Community Folder: (Where linker will put the links to your addons)
C:\users\<username>\appdata\local\packages\microsoft.limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe\localcache\packages\community

Presets folder:
C:\programdata\msfs addons linker\presets\

Choose your FS version:
(Pick "STEAM" or "MS Store" depending on where you downloaded from... OR Do like I had to and put the custom path where your FS executable resides. You do this also if you just forced the application to install into a folder other than the default.

in my case here:
Custom FS Start EXE:
C:\XboxGames\Limitless\Content

Hope That helps you.

P.S. The MS2020 version of the "Christmas in Tahiti Airstrip" works in 2024 also. I'm still trying to get my head around the 2020/24 SDK for airport and scenery mods. My major holdup is that I SUCK at blender and I don't have importable custom WestWind assets to import into the Sim. So I can't really add WestWind signage/hangers/buildings to airports or resort scenery. I'm sure I could get them into the sim if I had them in a usable format for MSFS. ;/ That and my cringy work schedule... LoL

Thanks, Don. I finally found it. Yes, I was looking for something like Microsoft 2024. I forgot the Limitless tag when I connected to my Xbox Live account.

I can confirm that most - if not all - liveries done for MSFS 2020 will carry over successfully to MSFS 2024. At least for the planes that have existed in MSFS 2020 previously.

I'm gonna take this one back somewhat... It seems that a lot of the default Microsoft aircraft don't recognize the WestWind liveries I try to install... Infuriating because they're mostly the same plane... I can only assume MS and their partners messed with the package title naming so the config files are not referring to the correct aircraft titles. I'm gonna try to confirm if this is the case somehow. If I can figure it out I'll report back here. Also I'll update the list of working ones if I come across any more

These Liveries are confirmed to be working:

Honda (Hjet HA420 Marwan Gharib) Variant
Daher Kodiak 100
PMDG 738 (All livery variants work)
Captain Sim 777 (All Variants)
Cirrus Vision Jet - VolcTech/FlightFX
ATR 42-600 - Microsoft / S&H Software
ATR 72-600 - Microsoft / S&H Software
ATR 72-600F (Livery works - but attaches to the passenger variant instead of the proper 600F logistics variant)
HPG Airbus H135 Heli and it's WestWind Livery
Headwind A330-900
Fly By Wire A380

Nice, I wounder if MSFS2024 is going to steal the show on the screen shots.
