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
