Got Friends Wiga no longer available in MSFS 2024

The Got Friends Wilga that I purchased from the MS-Store fro MSFS2020 was avaialble in MSFS2024 after I initially loaded MSFS2024. In MSfs2024 iit is listed as STREAMED but it does not show in the aircraft selection for Free Flight.

Has something changed recently and if so what do I need to do to get the Wilga back into MSFS2024? Thanks in advance for any clues on why it has disappeared.

Aircraft have been disapearing over the last few weeks …probably just another one to add to the list!

Misleading title. My Wilga, bought directly from Got Friends, is still available in FS2024.

Sorry - thought my first sentence made it clear – no attempt to mislead…

It isn’t misleading. I have the same issue. As per your title, the Got Friends Wilga (purchased in the 2020 marketplace) has disappeared from my 2024 hangar, and is no longer available, even though the sim tells me that it is available.

I have the same issue.

I have also this problem , I see my Wilga from 2020 in my library with streamed options but plane is not visible in my hangar in MSFS 2024
Do you have any reply from Got Friend?

Same issue. Wilga was there in 2024 and now it’s not. Same with Skymaster II.[quote="IroncladBoat941, post:1, topic:695189, full:true”]

Hey Everyone,

We have validiated the report on our side that there is a mismatch between the Marketplace Version and the Package sent to Microsoft for Ingestion.

In the next couple days, we will be submitting a new Minor Update for Forwood Farms (Scenery that is Included with the Wilga).

It looks like the package may be corrupt on Microsoft’s end. So we will ensure this next update has no download issues from their servers once submitted.

We deeply apologize for the inconvenience this has caused anyone. After submission, I would expect to see the update the following Thursday. However, we have no control over the ingestion process, so we can’t guarantee an update release date.

This mismatch in files is contributing to the Wilga not being visible in-game even after enabling it. This will be fixed shortly and the Wilga will be a selectable option again in MSFS 2020 and 2024.

Apologies again,

Got Friends

@DigitalJonx will you guys be rebuilding the co-pilot pets for MSFS2024? I’d pay dearly for that!! :pray:

The current character system in MSFS 2024 is heavily encrypted, making it incredibly challenging to reverse-engineer or work with. Despite these obstacles, we remain committed to enabling character mods and are dedicating significant time to this effort.

For context, introducing our Avitars in MSFS 2020 was no small feat. It took us three years to overcome similar encryption issues and the lack of working examples. Our Avitar system became the first and only character system to function natively within MSFS 2020, matching Asobo’s system. This breakthrough allowed custom characters to be rigged to Asobo’s animations and used seamlessly in any aircraft. It was a monumental achievement for our team, and once we cracked it, we poured hundreds of hours into creating unique and engaging content.

MSFS 2024, however, presents even greater challenges. The inclusion of clothing accessories, custom body types, faces, and even mouth animations tied to voice coding makes this system far more complex. Digging into it has been slow-going, and we’ve encountered even bigger barriers than we faced in MSFS 2020.

It’s frustrating because we see an incredible potential market for custom clothing, accessories, and even “animal companions” that would allow players to better personalize their characters. If we can eventually crack this system, the possibilities are endless. Imagine an “Avitar Builder” where users could mix and match custom shirts, pants, headwear, watches, tattoos, and more. It’s a long shot, but it’s the vision we’re working toward.

For now, though, the system remains too complex. We hope to achieve progress sooner than the three-year mark this time, or perhaps Asobo will step in to unlock the system’s full potential and make custom character content more accessible.

Here’s to hoping—and working toward—the day when we can bring back dogs, cats, and a fully customizable Avitar experience. Cheers!

Thank you so much for the detailed answer and here’s hoping Asobo makes this easier for you - especially since you are partnering with them on MSFS 2024! :crossed_fingers:
