Premium and Deluxe Upgrades

[Karldenton]

Hi, I am still playing FS2020. Logged in today with a mandatory upgrade to standard. However it now says Premium and Deluxe upgrades and downloaded them.?

Marketplace Update: Back Carryover

Marketplace Update The Marketplace team has just rolled out a new feature: Any Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 content you own in MSFS 2024 will now be accessible in MSFS 2020 as well.

Note that you do not get the 2024-exclusive (New) aircraft such as the H225, Globemaster, Albatross, Beluga, etc. in your 2020 hangar.
