A2A Simulations has published a statement on its plans for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 development. The statement includes news on its Comanche 250 port for the new platform and its upcoming Aerostar 600.

They have recently been granted access to the new SDK, and the Comanche 250 appears to work fine in MSFS 2024, with only a few issues requiring addressing, but Accu-Sim (the core system of their Comanche and all future planes) plays nicely with it. It should be available for the new simulator on day one or shortly after.

A2A also said they will be providing assistance to transfer over the airframe state, files, and stuff to the new simulator when the time comes.

Regarding fully bringing the Comanche to MSFS 2024 standards, it’s still under evaluation given the extra requirements for compliance, which has yet to be gauged whether it will be a lot of work. Therefore, no decision has been made yet about a native version for 2024. The 2020 version, though, should work in the new simulator just fine, albeit without the extra features that could be made possible with the latest SDK standards.

They are still working on the Aerostar 600, albeit with the difference that the potential release date has been moved to 2025, as they need to reconsider their requirements for the new SDK. They reiterate aircraft development for MSFS is their top priority, and they plan on releasing more aircraft next year.
