As I wrote as a reply to a previous post, I am currently working on support for MSFS2024 scenery-scan via navdatareader (made by Alexander Barthel - the developer of Little NavMap). The reason for this is because MakeRunways (by Peter Dowson) was only able to scan scenery via BGL-files, which are no longer in use for MSFS2024), hence Flightplan Viewer was not able to show the gates matching your active scenery for MSFS2024.

 

I am currently working on having Flightplan Visualizer import the database generated by navdatareader, and I still have a few changes to do, and things to check. But hope I will be able to release a new version within a month or so. To use this new feature you will have to run navdatareader (while MSFS2024 is running,  as it extract scenery-date via SimConnect). Basically you "should" run navdatareader whenever you have updated your scenery (e.g. installed a new airport) - just like you in the past "should" run MakeRunways each time you had made changes to your scenery. FlightPlan Visualizer will still default to be using the MakeRunways files you have made yourself, or those bundled with the installer. However in settings you can in the following version specify a path to where you have a database generated by navdatareader. If this database is specified the navdatareader-db will take priority over the MakeRunways-files.

 

There will be a few benefits using the navdatareader-DB over the MakeRunways-files. First of all it can scan your installed MSFS2025 scenery, but it can also scan scenery purchased via the Markedplace within MSFS (MakeRunways couldn't do this, as this scenery was encrypted). MakeRunways didn't fully support unicode, so I had to put in extra code trying to catch when it did something "bad" to the airport-names, which is not an issue with navdatareader. Also as visible in the screen-shot below, hoovering the mouse over a gate, the tooltip will show if a jetway is associated with the gate.

 

When using navdatareader-DB in stead of MakeRunways-files, helipads will be visualized as well. However as they have no name/number (hence the interior being a big "H") the tool-tip will only include radius and GPS.
