GPS variables are **deprecated** in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. For more information, please see the [GPS Vars In MSFS 2024](../gps-variables-legacy/#gps-vars-in-msfs-2024) section.

{{< /callout >}}

The tables below indicate the requirements for the [GPS Variables](../gps-variables-legacy/) that can be used to get and set the different GPS properties associated with airports. You can find a complete index of all available GPS Vars here: [GPSVar Index](../gps-variables-legacy/#index)
