Flight Illusion Gauges in MSFS 2024 - Not Working - Anyone figure it out?

I have 8 analog gauges from Flight Illusion that all work perfectly in 2020. I bit the bullet and tried 2024 after the dust settled and the gauges do not work. I checked Flight Illusion website and they had no updated software for 24 and based on other info on their website, I’m afraid they might be going out of business.

Anybody have any of the gauges and manage to get the running in 2024? Any ideas where else to look for info?

2024 looks nice, but getting everything configured and working seems like a week long project at best.

Thanks!

Did your gauges work “plug&play” in MSFS 2020 just by running the G-Step software?

When I run the G-Step in 2020, it shows a green dot in the program for the gauges working properly.

But in the simulator (running with the PMDG 737), the needle of the flap gauge does not work properly.

It moves veeery slowly to some positions and stops somewhere between the different flaps positions.

In the G-Step software for P3D it was possible to configure and test the gauges. But it seems not be possible in the software for 2020.

Where you able to test the gauges in any way?

I am in the same boat! Lots of $$ invested in Flight Illusion Gauge. Hope there is a way to get them to work! Looked a MSFS2024 but just have way too much invested in MSFS2020. Happy flying everybody

Yea, I think I’m going to stay 2020 for a while. I was really hopeful that 2024 would just be able to send sim data straight to the FI card. Seems like it would be really easy since 2020 already did, but doesn’t seem like they put much thought into making things easy for users that have already invested thousands and hours into their setup. Couldn’t even get a config screen for TOBII, they sure as hell aren’t worried about FI users.

They were pretty much plug and play in 2020. Just installed G-Step and a driver for the I/O board. I even reinstall everything after installing MSFS 2024, but it doesn’t look like the sim is sending the gauges any data.

Flight Illusion gauges are supported in Air Manager are they not. I assumed it was the new way for these gauges instead of the old G step app. Air Manager has a new beta currently that is 2024 capable. Might be worth investigating.

From Matthijs at Flight Illusions:

MSFS2024 is currently not supported because it isn’t stable. Too much changes so we can’t follow and maintain.

I’ve never used Air Manager before. I may check it out, thanks!

Moderator Edit:
Flight Illusion Radio Com/nav Bendix and ADF do not work with FS2024.
Com/Nav changes the frequencies in the simulator if I move the gauge light intensity slider in Air Manager. We already had this problem when starting FS2020, I don’t remember who repaired, Asobo, Flight Illusion or Air Manager.

Radio Com/nav Bendix et ADF de Flight Illusion ne fonctionne pas avec FS2024.
Com/Nav modifie les fréquences dans le simulateur si je bouge le curseur de l’intensité lumineuse de la gauge dans Air Manager. Nous avons déjà eu ce problème au démarrage de FS2020, je ne me souviens pas qui a réparé, Asobo, Flight Illusion ou Air Manager.

Indeed …
I can confirm that the gauges from Flightillusion are working.
:blush:
(Some aircraft are yet restricted to pull out the needed variables. At the beginning I had only attitude and airspeed indicator was working properly.
altimeter had no digits only needle was moving. Now with latest msfs 2024 build and newest AirManager 5.0 Beta update I got the needed digits output back)

I have my Baron G58 with Airmanager 5.0 Beta with Adobe G58.

Very happy to see that my backup instrument gauges are working.

HI Matthijs…
Im very proud to have your gauges on board…
(See last post in this topic…)
… and they are working now in Asobo G58 (msfs2024).

take care … and many many thanks for your support and products in the last decade of flight simmers…

You and your Team did a fantastic job…
take care
