A220 Airport Moving Map adds a functional Airport Moving Map (AMM) to the Synaptic Airbus A220-300 in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.

The add-on uses the A220's existing Navigraph session and retrieves Airport Mapping Database (AMDB) data at runtime. No Navigraph airport data, login credentials, access tokens or Synaptic aircraft source files are included in this package.

Features

• Airport Moving Map for the native A220 ND
• Supports both MAP and PLAN modes
• Native AMM ranges: 1000 FT, 2000 FT, 3000 FT and 1 NM
• Independent AMM operation on the left and right displays
• Supports normal and full-screen L/R display expansion
• Accurate Heading-Up orientation in MAP mode
• North-Up display in PLAN mode
• PLAN mode map dragging and panning
• Remote airport selection: pan the PLAN map toward another airport, zoom into an AMM range and the map automatically snaps to the detected airport and loads its AMDB

Version 1.0.5

• Added Takeoff and Landing Awareness Function (TLAF) integration:

Mode 1: warns when takeoff is initiated while the aircraft is not aligned with a runway, with a red flashing RUNWAY indication and NOT A RUNWAY aural warning.

Mode 3: warns when takeoff is initiated on a runway different from the active FMS departure runway, with an amber flashing RUNWAY indication and RUNWAY DISAGREE aural warning.

Mode 4: provides landing runway awareness and warns when the aircraft approaches the runway environment on an invalid runway trajectory, with a red RUNWAY indication and NOT A RUNWAY aural warning.

• Added SMS RUNWAY ENABLED / INHIB control to the AVIONIC page, including the corresponding EICAS inhibit indication.
• Added native-style PAN MODE indication and hand control in PLAN mode.
• Improved PLAN mode panning, including more reliable fast horizontal and vertical dragging.

• Improved runway identifier positioning across Normal, Extended, VSD and Extended + VSD layouts.
• Improved airport building rendering with clearer native-style building outlines.
• Added compatibility with Synaptic A220 v1.0.9.

Version 1.0.6

• Updated AMM colors for a cleaner and more realistic appearance
• Redesigned runway holding-position markings
• Improved stand number display
• Reduced duplicate and overlapping stand labels
• Improved handling of closely spaced parking stands

• Improved taxiway layering so taxiways and their designations are displayed correctly across apron areas.
• Added surrounding water features to the Airport Moving Map, providing additional geographical context
• Various big visual and compatibility improvements.

Version 1.0.8b

• Major MAP rendering performance improvements. Airport geometry is now retained and reused instead of being repeatedly rebuilt while taxiing,
significantly reducing unnecessary Graphics Queue workload.
• Improved visual presentation of taxiway centerlines, stand centerlines and holding lines with a cleaner two-component line style.
• Improved taxiway label decluttering, including better spacing for identical and related taxiway designators.
• Improved airport building labels.
• Runway Identifier markers now automatically avoid important ND interface elements, including the top header, Airport Info field, TCAS box and
FMS box.
• Runway Identifier avoidance automatically adapts to normal/extended display layouts and VSD ON/OFF.
• Other AMM symbols and overlays remain unaffected by the new Runway Identifier positioning logic.
• Additional visual and rendering refinements while retaining the established MAP/PLAN behavior.

Version 1.0.9

• Improved Airport Map performance with further optimizations to the MAP rendering and airport caching system, especially when working with
departure and arrival airports.

Navigraph

Navigraph AMDB data is requested directly at runtime using the Navigraph session established through the Synaptic A220's built-in login.

This add-on does not include or redistribute Navigraph airport mapping data, usernames, passwords, access tokens, API secrets or permanently stored AMDB databases.

Only parsed airport data required for the current simulator session is held temporarily in memory, with a maximum cache size of two airports.

Notes

• Airport detail depends on the AMDB information available for the selected airport
• Future Synaptic A220 updates may require an updated version of this add-on
• If an issue appears after an A220 update, verify that the AMM version explicitly supports that aircraft version
