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 1.0.1

• Added native-style directional runway threshold identifiers
• Added solid and dashed runway identifier states depending on threshold visibility
• Added blue, cyan and magenta identifier styling based on FMS runway selection
• Added airport ICAO and elevation information to the AMM
• Added conditional NO HS DATA indication
• Improved apron rendering around parking stand areas
• Parking stand polygons are now incorporated into the existing optimized apron Path2D rather than rendered as additional layers
• AMDB caching and performance optimizations

Version 1.0.2

• Improved Navigraph session continuity and token refresh checks
• Refined native-style apron rendering by suppressing taxiway surface inside apron areas
• Removed taxiway designations from apron areas to match the original A220 AMM
• Improved apron rendering around parking stand areas
• Updated taxiway color for better visual separation from apron surfaces
• Updated terminal and building colors to better match the native A220 AMM
• Added dark terminal/building outlines for improved structure definition
• Improved displaced-threshold runway identifier handling with correct ground/air positioning
• Corrected FMS departure and arrival runway highlight endpoints on runways with displaced thresholds
• Runway identifiers now use the physical runway end on the ground and the displaced landing threshold when airborne
• FMS runway overlays now follow the correct AMDB physical runway limits

Version 1.0.3

• Added native-style AMDB de-icing area rendering
• Added native-style and live updating construction area rendering
• De-icing areas now in original purple
• Construction geometry is cached and optimized to preserve AMM rendering performance

Version 1.0.4

• Improved airport map loading and cache reuse for smoother MAP/PLAN operation.
• Improved switching between MAP and PLAN, including correct return to the aircraft’s current airport.
• Added better handling for temporary Navigraph/network issues while keeping already cached airports available.
• Fixed airport elevation display for departure and arrival airports.
• Improved runway hold-short markings to better match the real A220 AMM.
• Fixed misplaced holding markings in MAP mode at 3000 FT.
• Updated the Airport Reference Point symbol.
• Improved map decluttering and label visibility across different zoom levels.
• Improved stand and gate label display. Further reduced unnecessary background activity for better performance and lower Coherent/MainThread load. (No VRAM usage)

Version 1.0.5

• Added Takeoff and Landing Awareness Function (TLAF) integration:

Mode 1: warns when takeoff is initiated while the aircraft is not aligned with a runway, with a red flashing RUNWAY indication and NOT A RUNWAY aural warning.

Mode 3: warns when takeoff is initiated on a runway different from the active FMS departure runway, with an amber flashing RUNWAY indication and RUNWAY DISAGREE aural warning.

Mode 4: provides landing runway awareness and warns when the aircraft approaches the runway environment on an invalid runway trajectory, with a red RUNWAY indication and NOT A RUNWAY aural warning.

• Added SMS RUNWAY ENABLED / INHIB control to the AVIONIC page, including the corresponding EICAS inhibit indication.
• Added native-style PAN MODE indication and hand control in PLAN mode.
• Improved PLAN mode panning, including more reliable fast horizontal and vertical dragging.
• Improved PLAN mode behavior when returning from another display page.
• Improved runway identifier positioning across Normal, Extended, VSD and Extended + VSD layouts.
• Improved airport building rendering with clearer native-style building outlines.
• Added compatibility with Synaptic A220 v1.0.9.

Version 1.0.6

• Updated AMM colors for a cleaner and more realistic appearance
• Redesigned runway holding-position markings
• Improved stand number display
• Reduced duplicate and overlapping stand labels
• Improved handling of closely spaced parking stands
• Added missing stand numbers from combined stand data
• Improved MAP and PLAN label consistency
• General performance and stability improvements

Version 1.0.8

• Updated for compatibility with the latest Synaptic A220 v1.0.10.
• Updated the Airport Moving Map presentation to better match the newest real A220 AMM software revision.
• Improved hotspot depiction
• Improved taxiway layering so taxiways and their designations are displayed correctly across apron areas.
• Added surrounding water features to the Airport Moving Map, providing additional geographical context
• Various big visual and compatibility improvements.

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
