Orbx released a new update to its flight tracking application Volanta, bringing it up to version v1.10.2,
The changes, listed on the application’s Discord Server, include fixes to previously existing issues and quality-of-life enhancements.
On top of that, we get support for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 ahead of its release on November 19.
Enhancements
- Added a setting to make hidden landings disappear completely.
- Added support for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and Prepar3D v6.
- Airport markers on user profiles or when viewing a list of flights will now get smaller when zooming out, to avoid obstructing the lines.
- ICAO codes are now prioritized when selecting airlines.
- Added a toggle for marketing consent in settings.
- Exact coordinates can now be put in the add or suggest airport modal.
Fixes
- Fixed not being able to connect to X-Plane on some devices.
- Fixed landing icons sometimes disappearing or appearing below the flight path.
- Closed airports will no longer be selected when searching for airports or importing via Simbrief, if an open one with the same ICAO code also exists.
- The line thickness of flights on user profiles is now more proportional.
- Fixed missing aircraft images when viewing other users’ flights in certain cases.
- The profile screenshot gallery no longer mixes up photos on the map when sorting them.
- Edit username and email buttons will always be visible now, not just on hover.
- Screenshot controls and metadata will now respect screenshot width.I
If you’re unfamiliar with Volanta, it’s a flight-tracking application that you can download for free and published by Orbx. You can also opt into a premium subscription payable monthly or yearly to unlock even more features.
Since it’s platform-agnostic, it’s compatible with major simulators including Microsoft Flight Simulator, X-Plane, and Prepar3D, on top of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, which was added today even if it’s not publicly out yet.
Volanta is available on PC, iOS, and Android.
