Already bought his season pack once years ago not buying it again to get this.
Volcanos do look good though, Hawaii certainly looks better than a forested crater

Version 2 released, which is now fully compatible with MSFS 2024.

Just curious. Is it backwards compatible with MSFS 2020?
No, because the terrain changed in MSFS 2024 so the positions are different between the two.
Use Bijan_EarthFX_ V1.1 for MSFS 2020 and only use Bijan_EarthFX_ V2 for MSFS2024.

Thanks for the excellent add-on. I am struggling with version numbers and compatibility with MSFS 20 and MSFS 24.
I have not bought MSFS 24 yet.
I purchased 4 SEASON PACK V8-EARTH FX EDITION MSFS20
Received these two items free:
EARTH FX BY BIJAN MSFS20
SEASONS ENHANCED BY BIJAN MSFS24
EARTH FX BY BIJAN MSFS20 contains Bijan-Earth-FX-V2.
As per the above post, I must use Bijan_EarthFX_ V1.1 because I am still on MSFS 20.
Is Bijan_EarthFX_ V1.1 now part of 4 SEASON PACK V8-EARTH FX EDITION MSFS20 ? If not where can I get it?
Perhaps it is a good idea to have a compatibility matrix published on simmarket as both, this add on and the flight simulator is evolving. It is easy to miss details like this when going through forums.

Thank you and sorry for confusion.
I am uploading both versions on simmarket now. Both versions should be available soon.
If you are using MSFS 2020, use Bijan_EarthFX_V1.1_2020
If you are using MSFS 2024, use Bijan_EarthFX_V2.
