I have shared my solution on the forum. Link to my post I can confirm that Aerosoft VDGS works with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 As the keybind is not working for you, you may need to try this instead. I hope that helps.

mmmmmm favorite plane theme or favorite screenshot theme. That is great idea for month of February and definitely ANOTHER NEW theme and ANOTHER NEW GREAT IDEA Got to dig 17 years worth of screenshots to find favorite screenshot with favorite plane to meet favorite and loving screenshot theme Regards, Aharon

This take is just wrong given the context. People would not be mad that the first sign of the coming update is a teaser if people didn't feel like they had been strung along and given false promises of a robust update coming within a reasonable amount of time. Products with a regular cadence of updates and fixes can have little teasers of upcoming functionality be shared, that's fine. The fact of the matter is that this update is long, long overdue and it's understandable that people would say "after all this time, this is all you have to show us at this point?" A preliminary changelog with a caveat that it is subject to change, some information about if the new version will be in 2020 and 2024 or just 2024, any kind of estimated timeline for when we will actually see it -- these are the kinds of things the angry customers that paid for this thing almost 5 years ago who are acting "weird" to you feel they're owed.

So it's weird to expect communication and updates through official channels and from the developer on a product you paid 70 USD for? Ok, got it... lol This teaser would be appropriate if it was accompanied with a official post from the developer. When its just randomly put out there, it's more like a "look, the update exists" and we still don't have any information about what it contains or even what year it will arrive.... Nor is there any stance regarding 2024 support, now that 2020 is a dying sim, potentially making the CRJ update irrelevant if it doesn't have 2024 support or a upgrade path (yes, I would actually pay for a 2024 upgrade for a nominal fee, if it means I can finally fly the CRJ that I paid for)...

I can give you that much; it is dissonant that the community spent years ragging on Hans to provide even a morsel of a hint of progress, and now that this morsel is given the same community is ragging on Hans for "an incomplete announcement". I can understand why Hans is apprehensive towards showing any teasers or proof of progress. That being said, I'm still disheartened by the fact that I didn't receive any acknowledgement on any feedback that I provided over the years. I'm still waiting for the formal announcement of the product changes before I rag on anyone.

Well, the thing is, that short video which really doesn't show that much or mention if the existing bugs has been addressed just rubs people the wrong way. Yes, it is nice to finally see a small proof of an update that we have all been waiting for, but at the same time, where's the developer? Wheres the project manager? Why haven't we heard a thing from any official channel? Yes, it's not abnormal to post a preview or short video, but it IS abnormal to spend 2-3 years to update an addon that has reported bugs and issues, and go radio silent for 1-2 years while doing so, and at the same time, publicly appear in streams where it is clear that the developer is quite happy to discuss updates of other products they are working on from someone else. When you sell a product, especially at a premium price point, you get a level of customer expectation, where at the very least we would expect that bugs that are reported and verified are fixed, and that there are some level of maintenance of the product through the lifetime of it. And Aerosoft has failed pretty hard on this through the lifetime of MSFS2020, I don't think it is unreasonable to expect better.

The negativity from me and many others here is down to being utterly fed up with being gaslighted about this update for over 2 years. While it is good to see a video about this mythical update, it is fairly lackluster considering the time it has taken. I can only hope it was an "early preview" or something. I think we can all agree that the "customer interaction" in this case is completely nonexistent. With the price we paid for this product, I think we should expect better than this. Twin Otter, CRJ and A330, I think the track record in project management on these are pretty bad

The bad marketing is in that there has been complete radio silence from the developer regarding this for more than a year, while at the same time he has been publicly busy making airplanes for Microsoft. And considering this is an update of an existing airplane, Just Flight is able to develop airplanes faster than this, and they are known for taking their time. Not to mention PMDG, known for taking their time, yet can still develop complete airplanes faster than Aerosoft is able to produce an update... That is the bad marketing. All developers, even those famous for taking their time, are able to communicate with the customers. That is key to maintain some customer relationships, complete radio silence like this will not do Aerosoft or any developer any favours. I bought the Twin Otter, and the complete CRJ bundle. Got burned on both, avoided the A330 like the plague it was and I will not be buying any airplane from Aerosoft again until this changes.
