TDS GTNXi Gets MSFS 2024 Default Aircraft Support and Crossfill in both MSFS and X-Plane

TDS Sim Software added Crossfill to its GTNXi products for X-Plane and Microsoft Flight Simulator, specifically the following.-

  • GTN Xi PC Trainer V20.42 or higher
  • TDS GTNXi Pro for MSFS V1.3.0.0 or higher
  • TDS GTNXi XPlane v1.0.0.4 or higher

Basically, crossfill allows two units to talk to each other and share data, including active flight plan, flight plan catalog, user waypoints, user-defined frequencies, alert/missed approach acknowledgement, nearest airport criteria, CDI scale, and more.

On top of that, support for MSFS 2024 default aircraft has been added to the version of the avionics for Microsoft Flight Simulator.

For now, support has been implemented for the following aircraft.

  • Cessna 185 Skywagon (GTN 750 Xi and GTN 650 Xi)
  • Cessna 404 Titan (two GTN 750 Xi units)
  • Cessna 172 Skyhawk Classic (GTN 750 Xi and GTN 650 Xi)

F-35 for X-Plane Gets New Screenshots

AOA Simulations has revealed more screenshots of its F-35B Lightning II for X-Plane 12.

As usual, we also get a brief development update.

“All clickable areas in the cockpit are now fully functional! Just a few minor tweaks left to align everything with the avionics code (written in LUA). Interior lighting is complete.

Next steps: integrating the ALE-70 towed decoy and animating the flare dispenser hatches.

Meanwhile, David is working tirelessly on the avionics and has just released a brand-new version of his R2C plugin — camera movements are now way smoother than before!”
