Not showing up for me in 2024.

The S.55 has yet to show up in 2024 for me either.

Why is there a rating for this when it’s not available?

First flight ever, and what have I been missing! I did a simulated power off landing, and it was just cruising right along like it was going to auto-land! So, I cut off fuel and all electrics. The wind kept the props spinning, and I glided it right on in like butter. What a treat! I flew the X model from '33. Very nice!

How did you get it to work when it’s not showing up?

@TheBlackWind977 I think all of the local legends and famous flyers were disabled from automatically streaming (along with all the 2020 scenery) during the big patch a few days ago.

You should be able to re-enable it (and any others) in the marketplace / library page. I had to do that, and I built the thing, hehe.

I have quite a few available but the S.55 is not one.

In the Library, select Packs and Disabled Only, look for official MS packs that are disabled. I enabled one Premium and Deluxe upgrade pack and one Aviator upgrade pack, and my missing planes came back. I had to answer “yes” to a bunch of dialog boxes.

It’s available. I’ve had it since I installed 2024 (about a week and a half late, Aerosoft Aviator shipment debacle, which saved me from the release week debacle). As noted, I got it through my purchase of the Aviator edition, I hadn’t previously purchased it in 2020.

That might be the issue then. I didn’t get the Aviator edition. It still hasn’t shown up for me I believe. I’ll take another look.

I purchased it 2020 and I don’t have it in 2024 either and it does not appear in any packs to be enabled.

Hmm, I would really like to get this one in 2024. Do we have any idea when/if they are going to be updated?

I’ve purchased them on 2020 and got on 2024 too Premium-deluxe) :


That is good to know. Does it work perfectly in 2024 as is?

I haven’t had any issues with the 2020 version in 2024. I have only flown the non-X version though. I enjoyed it; very unique experience.

I’ve purchased 2024 a few months ago and haven’t tried it yet extensively. Just a quick take-off and landing at SYB. It seems fine.
I’ve noticed that some 2020 seaports are not included in 2024..unfortunally.I have to investigate further.

Interesting, seaports are less of a problem for me in 2024 as I can spawn anywhere on ground/water, but curious that they would be missing.

Anyone tested it after the latest update? I’ve been wanting this for ages, itching to get my hands on it, but want to know if anyone has tried it.

@TheSupercalle Welcome back! I can provide a bit of context to this update at least…

This is mostly a bug-fix pass, along with a few small improvements, primarily with the airframe textures of the S.55X model, which I’ve updated based on the work the restoration / replica group in Italy has achieved in the years since the S.55 was released for the sim.

Mostly the fixes in this update are minor graphical ones, but in the S.55X the old Asobo GNS530 has been replaced by the Working Title V2 unit, and the screen’s cropping issue fixed. A few missing sound effects in the cockpit have been added, and a multiplayer sound bug fixed.

Also in 2024 the radio had a small issue when tuning frequencies, which has also been fixed, but this problem did not appear in 2020 oddly.

If you have any questions please ask.

Cheers, and happy flying / boating!
