cool mod but everytime there is an update it mess the screens up. even if you take it out of the comminity folder. so be aware of these mods. the screen dont show the terrain now with the toolbox. and it was this mod that mess it up. had to reinstall the whole plane again

The renamed gauge texture breaks existing GlassOut fragments
EDIT: I found that it was the FulopD wxr mod that was renaming the texture and breaking GlassOut.

Hi, I’ve put together a compatibility package for the Synaptic A220 in MSFS 2024 using ACARS 0.8.2, GM5 Airport Moving Map 1.0.9 and WXR/VSD 1.5.

All three addons provide their own `DisplayUnits/instrument.html`, so the startup path depends on which package takes priority. There was already some integration: WXR loads ACARS, and ACARS automatically loads GM5. Simply merging all their script imports would therefore risk initializing GM5 twice.

The correction involves three files:

- **`instrument.html`**: one shared entry point loads GM5, ACARS and WXR/VSD in a fixed order, followed by Synaptic’s native `instrument.index.js`. The separate GM5 and WXR DisplayUnits host scripts are no longer used.
- **ACARS `plugin.js`**: its automatic GM5 loader now checks whether GM5 has already started.
- **`gm5-a220-amm.js`**: an initialization guard prevents a second execution from creating duplicate map instances, timers, animation loops and TLAF processing.

The package’s `layout.json` and `manifest.json` were also rebuilt. The WXR/VSD scripts, CTP controls and both WASM modules were preserved unchanged.

This addresses the overlapping startup mechanisms without attributing the issue to one addon alone. The duplicate-initialization risk was verified during integration testing; it was not established as the cause of the original installation’s behavior.

All three addons are now working together on my installation.


For making this compatibility fix available to other users, I see three possible approaches:

1. **A combined package, with permission from all three developers.** With your approval to modify and redistribute the three addons together, I could share the package with users who want to run all three simultaneously. The main challenge would be ongoing maintenance: without access to your original source projects and build environments, future updates would need to be reviewed and the compatibility changes reapplied or adapted.

2. **Coordination between the three developers.** You could agree on a shared loading mechanism and integrate the necessary changes into your respective addons. Each addon would remain independently distributed and maintained by its author. This would probably be the most sustainable solution.

3. **A standalone Windows batch patcher, with your permission.** If all three developers approve the modifications to their files, I could provide a batch tool that applies the corrections to users’ own installed copies. Users would download the original addons from your respective pages, and the patcher would contain no complete addon files. It would create backups, support restoration and verify compatible versions before applying changes. Future addon updates could still require an updated patcher.

You won't be able to use it together with this mod.

Terrain map server doesn't work with your mod unfortunately

Dude Excellent works a treat. Cant believe you did this and not the devs :)

Is it technically possible to make it compatible with ACARS/CPDLC in the near future?

For people having issues with the terrain server, I honestly got no clue, I cannot repro it here on my side. The VSD queries the sim for terrain data for the VSD, its not dependent on the terrain server in any way. My last 4 flights I used terrain server with this, no issues. If you have any specific steps to repro, let me know. Specifically what u have in ur comm folder. Thanks.

Looks like this prevents 1.0.10 from running

Getting black screens even after uninstalling the default terrain server
