Any ideas what's going to happen with LNM for MSFS2024? Support for PLN files seems mostly 'deprecated' by Working Title in favor of their in-game 'EFB' tablet talking directly to their in-game Garmin panels. The World Map 'load PLN' option has gone. The EFB tablet is supposed to have a 'load PLN' button but this looks like it's only just been added as an afterthought (the button still shows its 'reference' title instead of the expected label text) and everything in the PLN gets thrown away except for the lat/long of each waypoint.

No idea. The bigger problem is their not documented BGL format. If this changes significantly it might be anything between a lot of work to undoable. We'll see. I have no access to their stuff yet.

Doesn't make sense to me. You cannot define a plan by coordinates only.

I assume this is currently a work-in-progress, although the sim comes out in a couple of weeks. A forum post from WT today suggests they're going to come out with a new PLN format so we'll have to wait and see. IMHO they'll likely have a strong focus on what they need for their EFP in-game webapp to talk to their Garmin instrument panels though, rather than finding out how LNM has been used over the centuries.

I looks like the PLN format did not change (yet) according to documentation for 2024: https://docs.flightsimulator.com/msfs2024/html/5_Content_Configuration/Mission_XML_Files/Flight_Plan_XML_Properties.htm?agt=index
Although this is for missions. Not sure if a user can still load plans from the user interface.
