Move from MS2020 to MS2024
« on: February 08, 2025, 03:24:42 pm »
I am currently on Steam version of MS2020. I am planning to move to Steam version of MS2024. Is there an easy way of moving my FSDT scenery and GSX without having to uninstall and reinstall everything?

You don't have to uninstall and reinstall anything.

It's in situations like these, that you can see the benefit of installing FSDT into their own folder, with just a link to the Community folder, because now you can install MSFS 2024, start the FSDT Installer again, select MSFS 2024 (if you keep 2020 installed, you'll see a choice) and click RELINK, that's it.

Of course, if you see there are updates available for the sceneries, be sure you apply them, since the latest updates that came around a few days after 2024, were required to fix any compatibility issues with it. You can perform the updates before or after installing 2024, it doesn't matter.
