AIRPORTS

IMPORTANT! GPS variables are deprecated in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. For more information, please see the GPS Vars In MSFS 2024 section.

 

The tables below indicate the requirements for the GPS Variables 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
