MSFS 2024 Aircraft Missing: Check My Library Before Reinstalling

Check the library state first

MSFS 2024's My Library is the relevant control surface for enabling, disabling and downloading content. Packages can contain multiple items, so expand the package row before concluding that every aircraft or livery is absent.

1. Confirm you launched Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, not the 2020 edition, and let the current simulator update complete.
2. From the main menu open Marketplace, then My Library.
3. Search for the aircraft/package by name; use filters to narrow the list and expand packages that contain multiple items.
4. If listed but disabled, select the content item and choose Enable; if not installed, use Download where offered.
5. Restart the simulator when the support page says a Community-content change requires it, then check the aircraft selector again.

When content exists but the sim has another problem

A selectable aircraft and a stable simulator are separate checks. If MSFS 2024 crashes or behaves abnormally, Microsoft's vanilla-state flow disables non-Microsoft streamed packages and isolates the PC Community folder. This is a troubleshooting test, not a recommended permanent content deletion.

1. Record the simulator build, store (Steam or MS Store), aircraft/add-on and exact symptom.
2. Use My Library to disable non-Microsoft streamed packages as Microsoft documents.
3. On PC only, close the sim and rename the correct MSFS 2024 Community folder; the default path differs by store.
4. Restart and reproduce the same symptom. If it stops, re-enable packages one at a time; if it persists, report it through official support.
5. Do not delete StreamedPackages or Community content unless following the current support page and you have preserved anything you need.

Before you play

• I confirmed the 2024 simulator and current build.
• I checked Marketplace > My Library and expanded package contents.
• I distinguished Disabled, Download and Not available states.
• I recorded the store and add-on before vanilla troubleshooting.
• I have not treated another pilot's forum post as a verified entitlement result.
