Can we have the option to import the extra new default aircraft available in FS24(all versions) to FS20? Atleast until all the bugs and LOD issues are sorted out? That way those on Xbox can appreciate the true beauty of these aircraft in FS20.

That would not be possible, as 2024 aircraft use features and formats that 2020 does not at all understand; a lot has changed with 2024 native planes. New systems, CFGs, XML formats, completely different model formats and folder structure, flight model features, default avionics that don’t exist in 2020, etc.

I’d imagine they’d want to keep planes like the Ini A321 and A330, and the 737MAX as MSFS 2024 exclusive. They’re part of the value proposition for the new sim, I’m afraid. From a technical standpoint, I refuse to believe they wouldn’t work in MSFS 2020. If MSFS 2020 3rd party addons could work in MSFS 2024, it’s a sign the difference in sim code is extremely small. So yea, I do believe the A330 could work in MSFS 2020. Whether Asobo would allow it…now that’s the question.
No. What Matt said. There is nothing else to say than what he said. There is no choice to bring them back to 2020. The format of 2024 native DLC is completely different from 2020, and the planes would not work in 2020. Nobody is going to take the time to create 2020 versions of those planes, as it would require a complete rewrite. Please mark Matt’s reply as the solution.

As I understand it, FS2020 aircraft work in FS24 under a legacy category. Native FS24 aircraft are built completely different. There is no “reverse legacy” mode for them in FS2020, so they would have to be completely rebuilt. And Asobo is a little busy right now (plus TBF there is little incentive for them to do that work). Simply put, FS2020 doesn’t speak the FS24 language.
