Enhance your flight simulation experience with vRAAS, a virtual Runway Awareness and Advisory System designed to replicate the functionality of real-world systems, delivering runway alerts and advisories directly within MSFS. Every feature operates exactly like its real counterpart and can be easily customized or disabled to suit your preferences.

Key Features:

  • Full Compatibility: Works seamlessly with all airports, including add-ons, and supports all aircraft types - no configuration required.
  • In-Sim Text Display: Displays alerts on the PFD/ND (see limitations below).
  • Effortless Setup: No manual setup needed—simply install and fly.
  • Auto-Updating: Stay up-to-date with automatic software and configuration updates.
  • Aircraft-Specific Configurations: Automatically downloads aircraft-specific settings.
  • Multiple Voice Options: Choose from male or female voice callouts for a personalized experience.
  • Highly Customizable: Tailor the system settings to your preferences with ease.
  • Convenient Automation: Includes options for auto-start, auto-close, and minimize-to-tray functionality.
  • No Performance Impact: Enjoy realistic alerts with no noticeable effect on FPS.
  • Flexible Audio: Select any Windows sound output device for audio alerts.
  • Built-in Self-Test: Ensure functionality with a reliable self-test feature.

Known Limitations:

  • Experimental PFD/ND Text Display: The text display on the PFD/ND is currently experimental and may be affected by future MSFS updates.
  • TOO FAST Callout Limitations: Due to MSFS constraints, the TOO FAST warning is only supported on certain aircraft.

vRAAS versus other RAAS add-ons

FAQ

  • Do I have to launch it manually each time I want to fly?

    The vRAAS process needs to be running for RAAS to work, but there is an auto-start option available in the general settings tab.
    You can also select the Minimize to tray , Start minimized and auto-close options. That way, you'll not need to interact with the vRAAS window at all.

  • Does vRAAS reduce the FPS?

    We could not measure any reduction in FPS.
    There have been no reports of any performance issues.

  • Do I need Internet for vRAAS to work?

    vRAAS automatically downloads aircraft-specific details at each launch. Although vRAAS generally functions well without an internet connection, some convenience features do require it.

  • Can I disable the self-test on startup?

    Yes, go to General Settings and disable Self-Test on startup.

  • How can I change the unit of measurement to feet?

    Go to Main Window > RAAS Features > ALL AIRCRAFT > Units and select your preferred unit.

  • How can I disable the RAAS Display for certain displays?

    Navigate to Main Window > RAAS Features > CURRENT AIRCRAFT > Display Setup. Check or uncheck the desired display, and you can also adjust the text position and size here.

  • I don’t see any text on my PFD/ND.

    Ensure the community-folder plugin is installed (it should install automatically). Also, verify if your aircraft is on the supported list above. If not, go to Main Window > RAAS Features > CURRENT AIRCRAFT > Display Setup to position the text yourself or reach out on our Discord for assistance.

  • The real aircraft only shows RAAS text when TERR is selected on the ND. Can you add this to vRAAS?

    vRAAS supports this, but many aircraft don’t provide the required data to detect if TERR is selected. If you know of a way to detect it, please share on Discord!

  • I get the self-test alert even when the aircraft is cold-and-dark.

    Currently, vRAAS is always “powered on.” Linking vRAAS to the aircraft power state is on our to-do list. In the meantime, you can disable the self-test on the General Settings page.

Awesome add-on. Just runs in the background and does its job. No complicated setup or MSFS plugins necessary. If you want RAAS in your planes, it's the simplest and best product.

For me not only the tool matters, but also the support and communication with the developer. Axel is a new developer and very helpful in explaining and solving issues via Discord. The tool itself is great. Installs in a few clicks and also updates itself. Biggest plus versus FS2Crew is the RAAS call-outs visible on the ND/PFD. FS2Crew stated this was not possible and nver took the plunge. Now after the release of vRAAS they 'are looking into it'... Also the fact that they don't need a runway csv file which needs to be refreshed when there is a new airport (vRAAS uses simConnect) gives a hassle free experience. Finally there are lots of new features planned and a free update to MSSF 2024! Highly recommended!
