Hello everyone. I found a quick fix for the aircraft icon on the MFD.
There are two versions of the G1000, I don’t know which one the Cessna is using. But since both versions have this error, it might affect other aircraft as well.
I did a quick test and everything works as expected for me now, but I take no responsibility if something goes wrong. So make a backup of the files before you modify them!
This fix is for the Microsoft Store version. Whether it will also work for the Steam version, I cannot say. Maybe someone could test it and post it here.
Take these steps:
-
Shut down MSFS!
-
Find the folder where MSFS24 is installed. If you don’t remember: Open the Xbox app, right click the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and choose “Manage”, then switch to the Files tab.
-
Open the file
<FOLDER>\Limitless\Content\Packages\workingtitle-instruments-g1000\html_ui\Pages\VCockpit\Instruments\NavSystems\WTG1000\MFD\MFD.jsin a text editor.- Find the line „
class MFDNavMapPage extends MFDUiPage {“, it is the line number 15568 here. - Find the line starting with “
}, flightPlanner: this.props.flightPlanner }” directly below. - Within that line change the part “
MapBuilder.ownAirplaneIconOptions()” to “MapBuilder.ownAirplaneIconOptions(false)”. The whole line should read:
}, flightPlanner: this.props.flightPlanner }, MapBuilder.ownAirplaneIconOptions(false)), { trafficSystem: this.props.tas, trafficIconOptions: { - Save and close the file.
- Find the line „
-
Open the file
<FOLDER>\Limitless\Content\Packages\workingtitle-instruments-g1000\layout.jsonin the text editor.- Find the line “
"path": "html_ui\\Pages\\VCockpit\\Instruments\\NavSystems\\WTG1000\\MFD\\MFD.js",”, it is the line number 24 here. - Add 5 to the size value. Here it was 1459661 before and is now 1459666.
- Save and close the file. You don’t need to worry about the date value.
- Find the line “
-
Now do the same with the following files:
<FOLDER>\Limitless\Content\Packages\workingtitle-instruments-g1000-v2\html_ui\Pages\VCockpit\Instruments\NavSystems\WTG1000v2\MFD\MFD.js<FOLDER>\Limitless\Content\Packages\workingtitle-instruments-g1000-v2\layout.json
Now you should see the correct icon on the MFD.
If Microsoft updates MSFS without fixing this bug, you may have to repeat the procedure.
Good flight!
