Orbx announced the update policy for its products for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.

The developer pledges to ensure that its MSFS2020 products will be compatible with MSFS2024. While a smooth transition is expected for most products, it may take some time for Orbx to go through them all. The most recent and popular products will be prioritized.

In instances in which products will be updated to take advantage of the new simulator’s native features, customers may be required to pay a “small upgrade fee.” The developer’s partners and indies are expected to follow a similar upgrade path.
