GNS 530 problem in V35 Bonanza MSFS 2024

It does not appear to be something we can do easily.

In 2020, there was an optional Marketplace add-on that would enable the WT version for aircraft not natively equipped. We also could edit the panel.cfg file and change a line of code to enable the WT version, too.

I know the intention was to disable elements of the DRM for the included aircraft. I don’t know if this also includes the Aviator Edition aircraft, too. I also don’t know if we’d need to have the ability to download the aircraft vs. stream it to be able to do any editing of files.

Give me some time to see what I can learn poking around.

What was annoying in 2020, is enabling the WT GNS would alter the autopilot’s behavior in an unfavorable way. You were either stuck with the Asobo GNS and a basically correct autopilot or the more desirable WT GNS and a semi-screwy autopilot. I’m pretty sure the same will happen if we figure out how to get the WT version working in 2024.

It’s a favorite of mine, too, so I have a vested interest in seeing it updated to current 2024 specs.

EDIT:

I just looked through:
…\Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\StreamedPackages\microsoft-aircraft-v35-bonanza directory and all the files are definitely encrypted via DRM.

It looks like we are going to have to wait and/or lobby for change.
