My vote is for Payware, after all they’re supposed to be eventually purchasable on 2024 MP

Thanks for the responses guys - you have convinced me. It is set as Payware now. Should I change all the old 2020 Deluxe and PD aircraft too?
Will be a bit of work but…
What is 2020 ???

They probably SHOULD have been payware all along - but seriously why bother going back and changing it now. Just leave it as it was.

Well, I’ve been dipping in and out of 2024, mostly finding it a completely frustrating experience. Tobii problems, binding problems (mostly sorted now though) but probably the biggest gripe at the moment is performance. I usually play with mostly ultra settings and get a smooth experience with FPS between 38-50. Now, with high settings I can rarely get above 28 FPS.
I feel sorry for my wife, she bought me the Aviator edition as a present (without me realising, I was going to just get PD). I’ve had a run of illnesses lately, haven’t been able to get out as normal and she wanted to cheer me up but she’s just heard a string of ‘Oh FFS’!
Anyway, at least we still get to explore with 2020, I’ve had some pretty excellent flights lately. I’ve done long range exploration over Africa in the Tornado, lots of local pattern work and radio navigation in the Tomahawk and revisiting NZ in the A2A Comanche.
No changes to the list. I really like the FW190, but it can’t replace the Spitfire and the DA50RG is very nice too, but again not enough to replace any of the smaller aircraft. Noticed the DA42 is on sale so might pick that up this week.
Just Flight - Vulcan
IFE - Tornado
Just Flight - PA38 Tomahawk
SWS - Kodiak
Flying Iron - Spitfire Mk IXc
A2A - PA24 Comanche
IFE F-35
Ant’s Airplanes - CAC-25 Winjeel
Got Friends - Wilga
Asobo - Cabri G2

DA42 …. Excellent aircraft, I doubt you’ll regret buying it.

I just really enjoyed a 6½ hour balloon flight. Sadly I can’t put the asobo balloon in my top 10, it doesn’t even come with a ground anchor or working pressure gauges. So now I’m on the hunt for a study level balloon.

Need something I can do the pacific in

While not really an “anchor”, there is an option in Settings > Assistances near the bottom that you can switch on so that the balloon starts “moored”, so at least it won’t slide away or fall over until you are ready to set off. Parking Brake to release it.
Maybe the HPG Hot Air Balloon is as close as you will ever get to Study Level? (disclaimer: not tried if it works in 2024 yet, and there will probably be a better way of doing it now that the canvas is properly boned to be animated, but I guess at least the gauges will work!)

It is indeed very nice. Just did a few circuits at my local and then a short trip over to Birmingham. Now to get to the binding fun…

Bad day for my wallet. Bought Comanche, Wilga, Dukes, TBM 850. I think that my list for December will change.
PS. What is the key for aircraft availability in msfs 2024? I cannot see my C310 anywhere, rest of planes I bought in marketplace migrated to 2024 successfully.

The November 2024 Chart Results
As we reach towards the close of the year, and with the new sim launch, the voting here seems to have taken on a bit of a Slow Mode 
Only 25 entries this month which is about half of the average we usually get (= less work for me hahah) so there is only a bit of shuffling compared to October. I took the chance to change ALL the older Deluxe and Premium Deluxe models (on each previous months summary sheet in the PDF too) to be classified as “D” so they match the new 2024 aircraft for those DLC / Deluxe tiers.
==== 2024’s TOP 25 ====
==== THIS MONTHS TOP 25 ====
==== COMPLETE CHARTS PDF PACK ====
Want to see more awesome aircraft?
You can download the entire Charts Pack as a PDF here. This file includes the main All-Time Chart and a page for every month listing all votes, so you can see aircraft that fall outside of the Top 25 above.

Your Top FREEWARE AIRCRAFT / MODS [Charts]
====== MY SUMMARY ======
A big jump up the monthly results for the HPG Airbus H145 and the IndiaFoxtEcho Panavia Tornado. I have flown only a few of the new aircraft (not much personal time recently) and found a few that are nice, but they are all suffering from some Sim Bugs which I hope we will see ironed out soon enough.
There were 8 NEW Aircraft mentioned this month, 5 of which are part of the FS2024 release, with the highest new entry being the Just Flight Avro RJ (3 votes) in 100th position overall and 15th for the month.
| Developer | Aircraft |
|---|---|
| Just Flight | Avro RJ |
| Got Friends | Draco X |
| Got Friends | Zlin Norden |
| HPG | Airbus H225 |
| Asobo / Carenado | Robinson R66 |
| AT Simulations | Dornier Seastar |
| Black Box Sim | BN2T Islander Turboprop |
| Restauravia | Nord N3400 |
FINAL NOTE: The next Chart Update will be done on 29th December as that is the nearest Sunday to the end of the month.

Seriously? Both PMDG and Justflight are borked and you’re poking at Captain sim?

It was a light-hearted response to a light hearted question asking if anything had been happening recently in the world of MSFS.
Seriously? I spent 2 hours flying the Tomahawk over and around Paris yesterday with no problems.

Looking at the latest charts makes me wonder if the title “Your Current TOP 10 Aircraft” thread should be modified to “Your Current TOP 10 Add-on Aircraft”?
One has to look hard to find much here from Asobo.
With hands over my head 
, I personally have always liked many of the default Asobo/MS birds. With what I’ve flown so far in FS2024, I like them even more!
I’ll submit my updated TOP 10 (including any add-on’s) later this month.
The quality of standard aircraft in fs2024 is a lot better and very enjoyable, not missing msrketplace as much as I thought I would
