Support for MSFS 2024 available in version 9.0+

[kiek]

Hi guys,

Version 9.0 of PSXT and PSXTraffic supports MSFS2024. 

By default PSXT starts in MSFS 2020 mode, but with a checkbox you can change that into MSFS 2024.

Read more about how to set up MSFS 2024 and PSXT/PSXTraffic in this document.

At first sight I'm satisfied although there are still a lot of problems to solve. Your comments are welcomed.

Enjoy!

Nico

Without AI aircrafts (either AIG or FSTL) fully adapted for the 2024;s sim, one cannot say anything practical yet. Kai from AIG is still looking into the new sim (things such as animation, lighting, etc.)

 

But I'm glad, Nico, that you're making progress with PSXT alone.

Yes I know, but that's their problem.

I'm concentrating on the PSXT framework.

Thank you, thank you kiek for your continues support and willingness to always improve!

Will give it a try and report back!

Cheers!

Thank you so much, Nico for your compatibility fixes on the PSXT side. 

Since MSFS 2024 introduced streamed airports, I understand the problems with reading encrypted files. However, I found on the MSFS forum that Working Title was able to read streamed/marketplace airport data using the SimConnect Facilities API.

Still too early to tell what direction Asobo is going to go, and I think the workaround from MSFS2020 is fine for now. But I wonder if in the long-term, the Facilities API provides enough information for parking detection for newer/marketplace-only airports. 

Many thanks again!

Don't think so, I'm afraid. From a parking position I need: identifier, latitude, longitude, radius,  heading, ramp or gate and cargo or non-cargo ...

That info cannot be retrieved via SimConnect.
