Compatibility with MSFS 2024
vRAAS has been tested with the MSFS 2024 Tech Alpha, and all features performed as expected. However, until the final version is available, we cannot guarantee full compatibility with MSFS 2024.
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.
