And, nobody is stopping anyone from modding our new G3000. It isn't like the code is locked down or we're the only people on this earth that can mod charts into an avionics system.

This is key - the fact that MSFS is letting other devs continue to modify first party features is really great. I wouldn't be surprised to see all these features added in by some other developer(s) within a few months (after AAU is live).

That would be a question for those organizations (MS, Navigraph, Jeppesen, NavBlue, et al).

But as a first party developer on the MSFS team do you know which way the wind is blowing?

- Agreement between Microsoft and Navigraph?

That would probably allow Xbox user to use charts and get their plane position real time on them

- MSFS Charts+ integration, which was announced before release?

That was MSFS plan at first, but did not hear anything about it for quite a long time

- Navigraph own software to inject data? 

They could be slow at developing a solution, will require an extra program to run in the background

I don't really have any additional information, other than I heard Navigraph intended to make a charts plugin for the G3000/5000 after release (given our architecture, would not require external software and would work on XBox). That was via some forum post, so I don't know much more than that or if it is truly confirmed. That's the only information I have.

Cheers for the info

Again, give us the option to have two versions of the Longitude in the sim until this is all sorted out.

You already have that option. It's called joining the beta, or not joining the beta.

I meant after release...  Now that Matt has confirmed more details about the upgrade it's a none issue.  Onward and upward.😏

How's the landing lights in the new version of the Longitude?  I haven't had time to install the beta but I'm wondering about the forward landing light when viewed from the cockpit.  Currently without the freeware mod you could barely see the taxi/landing lights from within the cockpit.  I hope this has improved.  Night lighting is very important especially if you're upgrading the avionics as this time of year daylight is short.😏
