Is it me or is the Honda Jet only available in “Lite” config? Meaning the PFD’s cannot be split and are not independent from each other. In 2020 there was a choice in liveries: Lite or normal. Non-lite version had an ability to configure each PFD independently splitting each into two if desired.
In 2024 it seems to make no difference at all if I choose Lite or non-lite livery - I still get simplified avionics.
I also have two different planes available in plane selection menu which is weird but they both behave exactly the same - Lite only
I asked this question in another thread, but didn’t get an answer. Is that the only difference between the 2024 version and the 2020 version?
Not that it matters anymore, we can’t buy the 2020 version anymore.
If it’s only a difference in avionics, then maybe we’ll get the more complex version at a later date?
All good questions for the Devs, “Are they going to update the 2024 version to match the functionality of the 2020 version at a later date? Or is this it?”
You can’t buy the HondaJet in 2020 anymore?
Are you confusing this with the Vision Jet, perhaps?
I am (confusing it with the Vision Jet)

You can still buy both the Vision Jet and H Jet for 2020 here. Just checked. Not sure why you can’t.
Even if you can still buy HJet it’s broken in MSFS2024. Only Lite avionics available. Which was meant mainly for Xbox users to be easier on hardware.
I wonder if devs / Asobo know about this and if they are planning to fix it
Not sure why you are calling it lite avionics. The avionics perform exactly the same. The only difference is for those very few users who want a functioning 2 seat cockpit. Everything from the pilots side is exactly the same. Independent PFD’s is the only difference.

I call it Lite because that’s exactly what the devs call it.
Avionics are not exactly the same, hence the difference. In addition to independent PFD’s in non-lite version I can split the PFD’s as I like. Can’t do that in Lite.
Also, the liveries which do not say Lite still are just that. So this is broken, right?
Lite is used for liveries or the opposite term Enhanced to refer to the larger textured versions. FSReborn, FBW and others do this but I’ve never heard avionics referred to as lite and certainly not when there is no actual difference in operation just an extra independent PFD for a copilot. In the vast majority of cases that’s not even needed.
I get it though if they have these options then they should all be selectable based on your preference.
Perhaps they have simpler textures but for certain the avionics are simpler too. Not just on one or two but on every lite livery.
I desagree with “no actual difference”. Of course there are differences. Splitting the OFD’s is the most notable one. Not sure what we are still debating that.
The fact the avionics are simpler in 2024 regardless of lite or non lite livery selection.
We are debating it because you are still insisting there is this mythical simple avionics suite now. You keep saying this but have yet to provide any source or evidence to this statement. Have a co-pilot PFD independent from the main side does not suddenly make one set of avionics that much better. It’s just provides the same functionality as the main just independently.
What are the actual real features that make them lite avionics.
I’m interested in why if true a dev would even do that.
The OP is asking why only the “lite” variant is avaible on 2024. It is called lite by the dev is its mirroring the displays and the GTC for lighter cpu load. See screenshot from the manual

Yep I understand that and agree that the choice of both should be made available. As it’s only lite for now I was only trying to establish what’s lite about it. Quite frankly I’m still of the same opinion that other than smaller textures and non split pilot/copilot instrumentation they have the same exact functionality.
How many time do I need to tell you in Lite you cannot SPLIT the PFD’s. No myth here. And it is a useful feature. Let that sink in 
How many times have I said I know that. Just mentioned it again in my last post.
The TBM 930 and Longitude aircraft also have that optional feature but that doesn’t somehow take away from the functionality within the system. Unless you have a dual cockpit where 2 of you fly it’s not even needed. So no detriment to single pilot functionality at all which In almost every simmers case is absolutely no drama. That’s the point you seem to be ignoring.
Alright. I thought splitting pilot’s PFD was a non dual cockpit type of a function. And I also thought lite avionics should not be present in a non lite aircraft option… But I obviously ignored the fact that they are exactly the same apart from their differences. My bad
I’m a little confused here. What does “Split” PFD’s mean?
Are you saying that Split means the Pilot PFD can show different information than the Co-pilot PFD? I’d call that Independent PFD’s, not Split.
Or does Split the PFD mean the PFD can actually be split, IOW, each PFD can be set up to show the information of 2 different pages on one screen, IOW split in two?
(I don’t have the plane, I’m just trying to understand the terminology here. I’m a steam gauge guy, and have a lot to learn about using these new-fangled gadgets you youngins are so used to)
On the Custom G300 (TSC) one left and right. If you chose the lite version in MSFS the left and right would be synced…it was setup better for performance issues, if you have low performance pc.
If you Chose the other variant not lite the screens were independant…so one screen you could show your passengers on the other screen you can set up your Map/traffic…thats all it is. Split screen on the PFD.
I understood everything up until you said “Split Screen on the PFD”, lol. First you described “Split” means two independent PFD’s. What does the last sentence mean?
A Split screen PFD is just that, one PFD split to show 2 pages on one PFD.
