Release history:

Version 1.2.1 October, 1 2026
• Improved the sensitivity of PTT clicks, • Adjusted the total time permitted to detect up to 7 PTT clicks.
• Fixed an issue introduced with the new VGSI lights that was preventing runway lighting to update from intensity level on airports with high number of runway lights.
• A message displayed on trial version when the retry limit is reached (maximum of 6 times per session).
• Added airport KSJC on trial version, with airport operating hours 06:00 to 24:00
Version 1.2.0.7 September, 23th, 2026
New features:
• Added runway lighting synchronized with Tower Operating Hours:  the lighting will remain on during the tower’s open hours at night. After that, the lights remain turned off and must be activated using the PCL command. This feature is currently available in US airports. The functionality can be turned off via client application’s settings menu in the system tray bar.
Operating hours can be searched on the airport chart supplements, FAA website:

• Updated Visual Glideslope indicators (VGSI) VASI and PAPI lights, based on published data (type, angle, tch, coordinates). This feature is currently available in US airports. More than 7000 VGSIs updated.
• VASI and PAPI lights are now controlled by PCL. The PCL command can also be used to control Visual Aids lights (VGSIs) of the VASI and PAPI types. This is an experimental feature because the Flight Simulator does not provide a direct mechanism for deactivating these types of lights, so a workaround has been implemented. Nevertheless, this feature may be disabled via the settings menu, and is currently only available in US airports.
• PCL functionality can now be paused while in flight; accessible via the client app on the tray bar.

• Fixed an issue where airports with multiple runways, would automatically deactivate only the first runway.
