#Ability to have different profiles for FS2020 and 2024

At the moment we have 1 folder for both sims and it would be great to have 1 folder for each sim so that we can use profiles for a scenery for example

inibuilds ybbn is only fs2024 and has a seperate gsx profile,
orbx ybbn at current is 2020 only and if one has both sims and decides to fly in 2020 the person will have to remove the inibuilds profile and download a seperate one for orbx vice versa

(i’m not sure if this makes sense but if you get what i mean please make it simpler)

Try running an update CHECK now, I pushed a solution that is very similar to something we already had to isolate P3D5-specific profile, because P3D V5 couldn't use profiles made for P3D4 that used custom user-made textures, so we had a optional parameter in the [GENERAL] section of the .INI file that looks like this:

p3d5only = 1

This prevented P3D4 from loading that profile, while still allowing P3D4 to use the version with custom texture names (only possible with P3D4 )

Following the same principle, we now have two new parameters here:

msfs2024only = 1

msfs2020only = 1

To be added to the [GENERAL] section of the profile, like this:

[general]
creator = Fsdreamteam
msfs2024only = 1

This means, the profile will be used only if you are in MSFS 2024 and will be ignored if you are running MSFS 2020.

So, if you have two incompatible profiles for the same airport, edit the MSFS 2024 version to add this line:

msfs2024only = 1

And edit the MSFS 2020 version to add this line:

msfs2020only = 1

I think this is the best solution compared to having two completely separate folders, because that would force you to keep and maintain updated two copies of every profile even when there wasn't any need to, this way you only need to deal those cases where the 2020 version of the airport is not compatible with the 2024 version.
