Slow Trickle From The MSMP

F

FAC257

SOH-CM-2025
With this fresh install of 2024 w/SU1, I'm at the point where I have all of my non-MSMP payware aircraft and scenery in and checked. I also decided at this time to not install anything from the MSMP marked "Disabled Not Creator Approved".

Each time I fire up 2024, I'll head to My Library and using the filters set to "Disabled". I've been seeing some of the previously DNCA aircraft and scenery lose the DNCA label. Some days it's only one new airport or aircraft, but at least there's a bit of daylight to my missing MSMP stuff. There's no MSFS header notification when something in the MSMP gets the creator's nod to just be "Disabled". The notification up in the MSFS header only happens when there's an update of an MSMP item. So, unless you're scrolling through your Library list, you won't know that things are slowly going active. I find that filtering to "Disabled" and looking is much less confusing than not filtering the My Library list.

But also, as I mentioned before I'm continuing to find MSMP that are supposedly now creator approved that really aren't 2024 fixed or compliant. Aircraft with no gauges, airports with missing or sunken terminal buildings. In one airport scenery I just activated today, there are important scenery buildings and objects with missing textures where they show up with that generic pink patterned texture. I've come to the conclusion that no one is actually doing any sort of real quality control for stuff that ends up available in the MSMP. Especially 2020 aircraft & sceneries. I find it hard to believe that an aircraft or airport creator wouldn't be checking their own work before it loses the DNCA label, but that appears to be the case.

So, following my plan above, I get home today and startup MSFS. Went to My Library and found 7 new aircraft that had been released from DNCA status. Enabled all of these new ones, most of which I already had flown before SU1 and knew they were compatible. One that I knew wasn't pre-SU1 is the C-47/Glider combo. So, I loaded a flight in the C-47. Ahhhhhhhhh!!!! :)

Just as I suspected and mentioned above, here's one more aircraft that isn't anymore 2024 compatible than it was before. The C-47 still has no VC and in exterior view the windows are blacked out.

At this point I'm about 10 seconds away from activating the rest of my aircraft in MY Library with the DNCA label, because obviously "Disabled", "Disabled Not Contractor Approved", & "MSFS2024 Compatible" are completely meaningless designations.

Although I try not to say "never again" with soap boxes being fragile to stand on, but I am going to be extremely hesitant to ever buy anything from the MSMP after this monumental FU they call the MSMP. Over the past many flights, I've pretty much made the full commitment to stay with 2024 and leave 2020 in the dust, but whoever is in charge of operating the MSMP needs to go.
