FS2024 & DHC-4 Caribou - Anyone have it in 2024 yet?

msfs-2024

I have some of the Marketplace purchases from 2020 in my library now but not all of them. The list that is there now has been consistent the last couple of days. I’m OK with waiting as things come over unless I should have them all by now and need to put in a support request.

So, as an example, just wondering if anyone who purchased the Famous Flyer (think that was the series) DHC-4 Caribou has it in 2024 now?

Thanks.

Yes. Mine shows up, albeit with some cryptic XML name due to some syntax error, no doubt.

Thanks; I should probably have it too then. I’ve created a Zendesk ticket.

This was the response:

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Flight Simulator Support today.

So, it appears the packages I’m missing should show up in due course but a bit confused by the response as far as the DHC-4 is concerned. It must have been reviewed already if it has made it to at least one person.

Perhaps I should have asked if other DHC-4 Caribou owners are still waiting for theirs? :slight_smile:

I just noticed that I’m missing my Caribou too…I’m hoping it’ll turn up in due course. I’ll give it a couple of weeks given they’ve got so many other priorities on their list.

I‘m still waiting for mine.

I have it, loaded it but since the ramp is up its impossible to get in. there are no other doors. I mean its one thing after another with 2024, I don’t know who is in charge of QC but they should be fired immediately.

Did you use shift-c (if using the default 2024 keyboard mapping)?

Wow thanks!! still someone should get fired for this hot mess another thing i have an issue with DHC-2 stuck on ground cant taxi as if there where some chocks but they are invisible any ideas?

Hmm… now that I don’t have a ready answer for.

Since I refunded 2024, I can’t even load it up to take a look for you.

I know you have done this, you’ve double-checked the parking brakes and it still won’t move and there isn’t something whacky going on with the prop feathering or any of that sort, yes?

I didn’t think any of these non-2024-specific aircraft had any of the external items for the walkaround, however I didn’t take the time to check them all.

I could swear I seen my Caribou on the list of planes but today its gone. Did not fly it yet though. Hmmmm

So I restarted 2024 and it came back with the weird Name like pictured in other post. So yeah stuff is going on.

You refunded it :frowning: how could you but I mean I don’t blame you the amount of issues is absolutely ridiculous, however I’m sure they will get addressed “one day” they rushed it out the door because of a marketing chit-show I’m sure, would have been to much $ to rename it to 2025. I still believe they will resolve this mess eventually. I’ve been with msfs since 2000 release, I remember 2020 being a mess but not to this extent
