There were already parts in MSFS 2020, namely gauges aka everything in cockpit that had more dynamic display, that used JS based SDK in order to provide sandboxing and safe level of control over performance (because with sandboxes VM it's easier to preempt execution)


Also it allows playing Flight Simulator inside Flight Simulator :-)

Does this still work?

gauges in JS? that's how all gauges with dynamic display works in MSFS 2020 and presumably 2024, so yes it still works.


Oops, I meant to reply to the "flight simulator inside flight simulator" easter egg message
