Aerosoft VDGS update for marketplace airport?

Hello Flightsimmers,

Aerosoft has announced last week they are going to Update their Airports EDDK, EDLP and ENVA to support the VDGS Modul which is used for the visual docking guidance in EBBR.

Aerosoft Update News

In their news it sounds like the Airports bought directly at Aerosofts website already got the updates.
So does anyone has an idea if and when these airports will get this update on microsofts marketplace?

I have read a post from one the the Aerosoft devs that these updates will hit the Marketplace but are awaiting approval from Microsoft. I guess its always best to purchase add-ons direct from the 3rd party as they have any updates distributed straight away. I am in the same boat also waiting for the additional VDGS airports.

They are still not in the marketplace with development update from 23rd June.
That’s week 6(!) after the updates by Aerosoft (13.05.22), heading to week 7 without updates. :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

@MS: To be honest, your integrated marketplace is simply not appropriate for its concern. You don’t catch up with the updates, the developer have no influence or possibilty to take care of their own and the users have problems with organizing and using the files in the “official/onestore” folders.
Perhaps you should split XBox from PC Marketplace and find a solution that suits everyone better than this annoying and unwanted store that causes problems in every point of view.

@MtheHell75 i did asked the same Question under Aerosofts VDGSs Tutorial Video on Youtube the same Question and got following response. Assuming the Answer was from a real Aerosoft employee.

Still some regrets buying in ingame Store…

well, the update for EDDK and EDLP is in Store :smiley:
Let´s see when the rest ist coming

VDGS is not supported by Marketplace Airports, even after the last Update.

After creating an Aerosoft support Ticket, they confirmed it is not possible with Ingame Marketplace Addons due to “VDGS system… uses the EXE.XML method of adding functionality”

Yes, i was just about to say this: How would it work for marketplae, when it is kind of an external appliation where you put in your flightdata? But this answers it, it just doesnt.

Once again: Do not buy from the marketplace, there are no advantages!

I only buy from external vendors.

Today, I found there is now an update thru Aerosoft One for the VDGS driver, which provides VDGS driver support for Marketplace airports.
