Issue Description When trying to install ACARS using the installer on the AFVA website, at the "Please select the simulator you wish to use" step, when selecting MSFS 2024, I get:
- "This Air France Virtual Fleet Installer does not support Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024."
- When trying to proceed anyways, I get an error box stating "Please select a simulator installation to use".

I cannot proceed past this stage.

03/22/2026 11:57 ET		 Hello! Any updates on this?
Luke Kolin (DVA043)
03/24/2026 09:46 ET		 Do you know what registry updates Steam writes for FS2024?
Ethan Fortier (AFV880)
03/27/2026 20:28 ET		 As in the AppData directory: %Appdata%\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.

But if you're asking for the Regedit.exe tree, I don't know where I would find this info.

Luke Kolin (DVA043)
05/04/2026 12:52 ET		 If someone can provide me the registry info, I can make the installer change.

07/05/2026 16:13 ET		 The ACARS installer should now recognize MSFS2024.
Ethan Fortier (AFV880)
07/16/2026 17:28 ET		 Where do we get the latest one? The copy I got from the "ACARS Installer" link in the Pilot Center is 4.99, which still doesn't recognize MSFS2024
Luke Kolin (DVA043)
07/16/2026 20:14 ET		 It should be in the Fleet Library. I am getting reports that it still does not detect the Steam version properly.
Luke Kolin (DVA043)
07/16/2026 20:22 ET		 The installer checks for the presence of steamapps\appmanifest_2537590.acf. If that file exists, MSFS2024 Steam is detected.
