The 2020 and 2024 release is scheduled for January 12th and it comes packaged with hundreds of updates, an exterior model redone from scratch, revised cockpit geometry, new texture and materials work, as well as enhanced sounds.

The developers report that there are some 2024 exclusive features like working overhead bins, trays and lavatories, exterior clickspots for GPU and doors, working windshield wipers, 3D default passengers, and career mode (if purchased in the Marketplace). All of the other changes are landing on both platforms.

Existing owners can upgrade to the 2024 version for $5 (the cost of a cup of coffee!). The base price is also going up by $5 to $74.99 USD. With TFDi, you also choose Passenger or Freighter and then if you want the other version its a $10 upgrade to add the other version on.

Finally, its $5 for the extended sim system which brings a lengthy list of failures to the aircraft.
