Do the A320NX and A380X work?

Has anyone tried the Fly by Wire Simulations A320NX and A380X in Flight Simulator 2024 yet?
I can not find a statement or update from the FBW Devs that explicitly says it works. I only remember the statement from the flight sim Devs that every Add On for the 2020 Version of the Sim should work with the 2024 but they also said you could play on November 19 ;-)

I've given it a shot. I manually transferred the A320NX from my 2020 folder into my 2024 folder. Everything seemed to work perfectly....until I noticed during the normal startup procedure that the Engine 1 Master Switch was randomly toggling itself on and off. No matter what I did it wouldn't stop lol

From what I've heard the 3rd party developers really didn't get access to the SDK as early as MS said they would, so it's more of a holding pattern right now for 3rd party 2020 planes.

Albeit I haven't tried any of other of my 2020 freeware or marketplace planes yet. For all I know the PMDGs could be fine.

Very interesting, thanks for trying.
I am sure it will be fixed because these are two very popular and actively maintained planes.

It is a little bit concerning though, because Microsoft said 2020 Add-Ons will work. I find it very curious that everything else works (even engine two), but a minor bug like this can kill an Add-On completely. I wonder if the problem is in the Add-On or in the Sims API. I am hoping for the latter because if the Add-On has to be fixed by its Devs, any Add-On, no matter how expensive it was, can be rendered unusable if it is not being maintained any more.

hello.
I had the same question a few days ago.
long story short i did not try to install it manualy but i can see on the official discord that the team write.

MSFS 2024 is not officially supported by the A32NX yet.

also
We are investigating and testing our aircraft with MSFS 2024. This will allow us to see what we need to do to make it fully compatible. Once we understand this, we will work out a more detailed plan to support MSFS 2024. This will also allow us to determine how we will support MSFS 2020 in the future as we work on MSFS 2024 support.

And a player wrote
I tested the stable and developer versions of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 yesterday. The developer version crashed in the menu, while in the stable version I couldn't start the engines.

this is the official discord channel

Any news on this? Does anyone know if one or both planes have official support from the Davs at FlyByWire by now or if they at least work anyways? If I am not mistaken, in MSFS2020 there is also a marketplace version, at least of the N320NX. Is it in the recently released 2024 Marketplace?

I know the game is broken but I was looking forward to playing it, and it has been out for months now so I am thinking considering forgoing career mode and just exploring the improved world but I need a plane worth doing that with.

It was briefly in the MSFS 2020 marketplace before being pulled. No it's not in the MSFS 2024 marketplace and I don't think it ever will be due to the reasons it was pulled from the MSFS 2020 marketplace.

Interesting. Any Idea why it was pulled?
From a quick look at the Discord channel it looked like it isn't supported for 2024 yet but I couldn't tell why or if they are even planning to add support. There is just too much Information in there. No posts on X since the release of the A380X.

We know the state of MSFS 2024 is problematic, but its release was not an insignificant event in the flight sim world and it wouldn't hurt them to drop a line or two about what their intentions are. It would be a shame to lose such a great aircraft in 2024 and it would actually affect my decision to buy or not.

So nobody heard anything, I take it?
Any suggestions for alternatives?
