When does the Charts came back to the CJ4 WT21? The community is waiting for a very long time.
Hello!
Coming from this topic, I want to provide an update to this one as well to make sure that the current possibilities and Navigraph’s considerations are clear.
Support for a Charts integration is only possible for MSFS2024
There is plugin support for the Proline 21 avionics by WT in both simulators! However, we need the “Charts” button enabled in the cockpit to make this plugin work. We were told that an update to MSFS2020 would enable this button before they moved development to 2024, but the last time I checked, this was never done. This means that we can’t integrate well into the MSFS2020 version.
The situation is different for MSFS2024! Here, the Charts button has been enabled, and the requirements for us to consider developing a plugin are met!
One thing that complicates this matter, though, is that WT has been adding Charts integrations to its recent developments. These are supposedly possible for us to plug into! This means that we’d have to deal with the added risk of developing an integration that, upon release, is incompatible with recent avionics updates. This is not a blocker for us, but we are definitely including it in our risk assessment for a project like this.
Interest in this plugin has cooled considerably since MSFS2024 was released. We use wishlist topics like these to gauge general interest in future development efforts, and this topic currently has zero votes.
A few things that you may consider:
- Update your topic description with more details and maybe a motivation! Positive language will also make the topic more attractive for passers-by looking through the wishlist.
- Vote for this topic yourself. It is 100% allowed!
- Spread the topic around to others you know would be interested
Kind Regards,
Malte
Well here is a community provided one
though help was provided by Navigraph regarding login details and a helpful push in the correct direction
Dear Les,
thank you for your prompt reply and the positive information about the chart mod for the CJ4.
It was Navigraph that was always looking for someone who could create such a mod. Who else but you could do that? Thank you very much also to Navigraph team.
I have been using the CJ4 since the first phase of WT’s wonderful mod to improve the Asobo CJ4. I have bound the controls, avionics and some other functions via AAO. If these events have not changed, especially the events for the charts, my old template will work.
Unfortunately I will only have time for testing at the next weekend. I will give you a reply of the result.
Have a nice day and happy landings
Hans-Peter
