Before we move on to the flight simulation news, today’s episode of our “Can You Guess this Airport?” video series is out. Make sure to post your guesses in the comments.
Without further ado, I leave you with today’s flight simulation news.
Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport for MSFS 2024 Gets Release Date
MK Studios started on Discord a countdown for its upcoming Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport (KFLL) in Florida, United States.
The countdown ends on Friday, May 22, and we get to see a few screenshots above.
BeyondATC Launches ATG Air Traffic Global Support
The developers of BeyondATC announced support for ATG: Air Traffic Global by BravoAirspace, which adds many real-world liveries to the excellent native AI traffic models of MSFS 2024.
Of course, this only works on MSFS 2024, and for now, it’s limited to the experimental version of the popular ATC and traffic suite, with the new update 1.9.7.
Below you can read the patch notes from BeyondATC’s Discord server.
Bravo Airspace ATG Model Support (MSFS 2024 only / Marketplace Payware)
A new set of liveries for the aircraft models included with MSFS 2024 for traffic. These are great models that are low resource impact and nicely animated – but by default the sim included very small numbers of liveries. This payware livery pack increases that amount hugely! By default will appear at number 4 in the model priority list in BATC options – move to number 1 to give it a try.
You have the payware pack installed from the MSFS marketplace.
We are still working through a couple of minor issues but they are looking good!MSFS 2024 GA Model support improvements (MSFS 2024 only)
We have remapped and updated the configuration for the MSFS 2024 GA model support – this helps bring in many more IFR GA flights that may have previously been hidden due to no model match being available (reminder this is enabled as tick box in the BATC traffic options)
VFR Specific
- Allows airports with no parking to be used in VFR flights – e.g. grass airstrips
Bug Fixes
- Fix an issue that could impact arrival and enroute traffic volumes due to performance changes in 1.9.5 for traffic splines
- Further updater fix – should be fully functional again – if you had started using a VPN – please try without first!
- Fixed degree values potentially being output as 000 rather than 360
- Fixed info box displaying ATIS letter under ‘altimeter’ in CPDLC clearances
Ops updates
EBBR, EDDP, ZUTF
This brings the model/liveries sets available to use with BeyondATC up to four, alongside FSLTL, FS Traffic, and AIG. You can also mix and match them and set a priority order to get nearly full traffic coverage.
Luang Prabang International Airport Teased for MSFS
FSDG teased a new airport for MSFS, and it was then confirmed to be Luang Prabang International Airport (VLLB) in Laos.
