LNM and FS2024

[Timwintle1979]

Hi All,

I wondered if anybody might know? MS/Asobo have announced that their new product will include POI's and over 80,000 helipad's. Do we know yet if LNM will be able to parse this data from the BGL files supplied by MSFS? I know it might be a bit early to say yet as they've only entered the dev-alpha phase this last week but if anybody happens to know, I'd be curious.

Thanks
Tim

Hi Tim,

I don't know yet since I have no access to MSFS 2024 yet but I'll buy it at release.

Looking at the SDK documentation it seems quite the same as 2020 with just the paths adapted.

Regarding BGL: My experience in the past is that the structure received minor changes and additions only. Have to see.

Discussion also here at Avsim: https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/652764-msfs-2024-and-lnm/
Quoting myself 🙃

I'm pretty sure that SimConnect hasn't changed since this would break a lot of applications and add-ons.
This means that you should be able to use your MSFS 2020 scenery library database to plan and use LNM for flight following in MSFS 2024 in the meantime.

If anybody has more information feel free to add it to #1198

Hello, any news on this please ?

[albar965]

Sorry. I did not get any pre-release version and have to buy this like anybody else. So it takes time.

At the moment I'm not sure if I can even support MSFS 2024 at all, let alone how much effort it is.

You should ask Asobo for a copy of the game, they will probably give it to u since LNM is a very popular third party app used by msfs users, if you just wanna take a look u can also subscribe for a month to microsoft gamepass, the game is included with that subscription and it's cheap. (sent u a little something on Paypal)
Anyways LNM seem to detect my airplane etc.. I don't think that side of thing needs any work, the only thing what will need work is how to load the scenerie, let's hope they did not change the file format just the location.
No rush man even Navigraph are still trying to figure things out.

Have a good day and keep up the good work.
