Pegasus 2.0.16
New
Networked MSFS support. If Microsoft Flight Simulator runs on a different PC than Pegasus, enter the simulator PC's address and port under Settings > Simulator > Networked MSFS and Pegasus will connect to it over the network. Pegasus manages the SimConnect configuration file for you, so there is nothing to edit by hand and updates cannot break it. The simulator PC must allow remote SimConnect connections (Scope set to global in its SimConnect.xml, the default is local).
Changed
Pegasus recognises many more add-ons, on X-Plane in particular.
Lights, pitot heat, parking brake and spoilers are now reported for thirty-eight more aircraft, built from pilots' September wizard submissions. Among them: the iniBuilds A380, A300-600 Passenger, A330-300P2F and A340-300 Freighter, Aerosoft A330neo and CRJ 900, PMDG 737-600 and 737-800BCF, FSLabs A321ceo and A321neo, Asobo 747-8 and 787-10, FlightFactor 757 and 767, LevelUp 737-700NG and 737-900ER, Rotate MD-11, and the default 737-800, 747-400 and Citation X on X-Plane 12.
Visual conversion mods are now filed as the aircraft they actually fly. A mod that only changes an aircraft's looks (for example a 737-800 dressed as a 737 MAX, or an A320ceo with neo engine look) keeps the original aircraft's engines, weights and flight model, so the PIREP now reports that aircraft rather than the one it is painted as.
Flap positions are now named correctly for the Asobo 787-10, which has ten positions rather than the generic seven, based on pilots' wizard captures, and for the Black Box Simulation Trislander, whose flap positions were not reported at all.
An out-of-date X-Plane plugin now has to be updated. Because the plugin can only be updated while X-Plane is closed, you can still start two flights on the old one, so an update never cuts a session short; after that, Pegasus asks you to update it under Settings > Simulator before the next flight.
Fixed
The iniBuilds A380 and LatinVFR A380 on MSFS 2024 are no longer identified as the Bredok3D A380. Pegasus did not know either aircraft yet and mistook them for the only A380 it had on file.
MSFS aircraft that Pegasus does not know yet are no longer mistaken for a similarly named aircraft of a different type (for example a Boeing 787 filed as an Air Tractor, or an SR22 as an SR22T). They are now left unrecognised, which keeps the wrong type out of the PIREP and lets us add them properly.
Pitot heat is no longer reported as on for the whole flight on the ToLiss A321 (X-Plane 12), PMDG 737-900ER (MSFS 2024) and iniBuilds A320neo (MSFS 2020), and the iniBuilds A320neo v2 (MSFS 2024) no longer claims its landing lights were never switched on. The simulator does not report these switches reliably on those aircraft, so they are left out of the log until it does.
When MSFS is reached through WideFS from another PC, Pegasus no longer advises repairing the local SimConnect installation (which cannot help) and instead explains how to set up the networked connection.
