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
• Runways and runway markings
• Taxiways and aprons
• Terminals and airport buildings
• Taxiway centerlines
• Stand guidance lines
• Hold-short markings
• Taxiway designators
• Runway designators
• Parking stand numbers
• Terminal, pier and airport-area names
• Runway incursion hotspots
• Windsock locations
• Aerodrome Reference Point (ARP)
• Cyan FMS departure runway
• Magenta FMS arrival runway
• AMM remains hidden while the A220 FMS position is invalid or INS alignment is incomplete, matching the native FMS MAP behavior
• Departure and arrival airport AMDBs are automatically prefetched from the active FMS flight plan
• Departure and arrival airports are prioritized in the cache to reduce loading pauses during departure and arrival
• Maximum of two parsed airports cached in memory
• Optimized Path2D rendering
• PLAN mode uses dirty rendering and does not continuously redraw an unchanged airport map

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.
• Improved taxiway label visibility and priority, so important runway holding point and intersection labels are less likely to disappear in dense airport
areas.
• Improved parking stand label declutter at 3000 FT, providing a cleaner and more useful overview at large airports based on the real AMM.
• Improved handling of related taxiway names, including BLUE / ORANGE taxiway variants, based on the real A220 AMM.
• Added a completely new A220-style windsock symbol, based on real A220 reference images, with corrected size, visibility and map layering.
• Further visual refinements and cleanup while keeping the existing MAP/PLAN behavior and performance optimizations intact.
• General stability and release cleanup.

Version 1.0.9a

• Improved runway chevron rendering with more robust AMDB recognition, including split, capped and complex chevron variants.
• Added Blast Pad rendering and improved PLAN runway-marking handling, including valid markings extending outside the runway surface.
• Grass/turf and glider landing areas are no longer rendered as normal runways, including related unwanted runway markings and identifiers.
• Fixed runway identifier positioning for one-way / takeoff-only runways, such as EDDF Runway 18. The marker now stays correctly aligned with and moves along the runway centerline.
• Fixed an MFW soft crash when switching AVIONIC from AVIO to CTP while the GM5 SMS RUNWAY control is active.
• SMS RUNWAY now correctly hides on the CTP page and returns when switching back to AVIO, while preserving the native A220 font, cursor layering and UI behavior.

Version 1.0.10

• Fixed PLAN mode redraw issues introduced by recent MSFS 2024 SU7 Coherent rendering changes. Airport maps now update immediately after zooming and panning, without requiring mouse movement to refresh missing or outdated areas.
• Fixed map visibility when zooming out. The AMM now disappears immediately when selecting a range beyond 1 NM, instead of leaving the previous map visible. This was also introduced with SU7.
• Improved PLAN mode panning. Eliminated the occasional map jump or snap-back when releasing the mouse after dragging, providing smoother transitions.
• Updated compatibility with Synaptic A220 v1.0.11a and the latest MSFS 2024 rendering changes.

Requirements

• Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
• Synaptic Airbus A220-300 v1.0.10
• A valid Navigraph login in the Maintenance Menu of the A220

Use the built-in Navigraph login provided by the Synaptic A220. No separate GM5 login or external application is required.

Installation

1. Remove any older version of gm5-a220-amm from your Community folder.
2. Extract the downloaded ZIP.
3. Copy the gm5-a220-amm folder into your MSFS 2024 Community folder.
4. Start or reload the simulator and aircraft.
5. Sign in to Navigraph through the A220's normal built-in Maintenance Menu
6. Use the ND range selector. Entering 1 NM, 3000 FT, 2000 FT or 1000 FT displays the Airport Moving Map when valid AMDB data is available.

No executable, background application or additional setup is required.

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
