LNM for MSFS2024

[jabloomf1230]

Admittedly, Moderators on the official site are volunteers, but if the statement was incorrect, somebody from MS would have chimed in.

I hope this on-demand streaming affects only Community.

I tested LNMap with MSFS2024 and it worked OK! From FS2020 I changed nothing - I use LNMAp in my laptop in a network configuration.

Thanks Alex!

Thanks, Edmundo.👍 Good to know.

I'll have a look at the rest of the sim tomorrow. I hope there is a scenery library to load ...

Hello,

Is there any news on the 2024 database update?

Thanks

I was just chatting with Raul of FSReborn and he said he and other devs are able to access data via the Simconnect facilities API and that it's open to anyone. Might be worth looking into?

Do you have to link to the API? I looked into the  documentation but could not find anything.

Probably SimConnect_RequestFacilitesList ? The problem is:

The simulation keeps a facilities cache of all the airports within the world, and all the waypoints, NDB and VOR stations within a certain radius of the aircraft.

As the user aircraft moves, waypoints, NDB and VOR stations will be added to and removed from the cache, however no changes will be made to airports as they are all already in the list.

No idea how to handle this in LNM.

Can the radius be adjusted? Say, to encompass the globe?

Not as far as I can see. No radius parameter and:

NOTE: The "reality bubble" is approximately 200,000 meters around the aircraft.

I don't get it why they changed this. Does not make sense at all. Just for the sake of streaming and cloud stuff?

I did see this portion on the SDK documentation, though:

Seems at least you can get all the airports, but not sure about navaids.

EDIT: I noted that for the navaids/waypoints, there's a value to enter for "dwArraySize". Could that have anything to do with how much of the world to request, hopefully? Forgive my cluelessness, I'm no developer or programmer but eager to help.

You can get only ident, region, coordinates and altitude from SimConnect. City and other names are missing. Also missing is parking, taxiways, aprons and more.

Hi, I supported the request to MS2024 to include LNM connect ivy, and have the latest LNM version which worked very well in 2020 - thank you ! I read some settings here somewhere and change LNM to use MS2020 scenery etc and can connect to MSFS 2024 but it's not showing my aircraft location, what do I need to do further please?

Are you "sitting in the cockpit"? Aircraft should show if you see the "Connected" message in the LNM status bar at the bottom.
