Volanta Flight Tracker by Orbx has been updated to V1.14.0, presenting new features, enhancements and fixes.
The latest update introduces a new punctuality feature, allowing users to set and track scheduled flight times, whether imported from SimBrief, chosen from built-in schedules, or entered manually. The system automatically indicates whether a flight is on time, delayed, or late, and users can toggle its visibility if not required. Punctuality can also be tracked in real-time or based on simulator time, offering flexibility for paused sessions or earlier flights.
A new trash page has been added to the sidebar, giving users the ability to recover accidentally deleted flights for up to 30 days. Flight plan handling sees improvements too, with enhanced parsing of MSFS 2024 PLN files now correctly including runway numbers, SID/STAR procedures, and custom waypoint coordinates. Landing events are now displayed clearly above the 3D flight path for better visibility.
Finally, the update also introduces new aircraft icons for the Piper PA-28B, Cirrus SR22, Piper PA-32R, Piper PA-32T, Hawker Hunter, Boeing 787-10, DHC-6 Twin Otter, Lockheed P-3 Orion, Sikorsky S-92, Air Tractor AT-802, NAMC YS-11 and UAV (generic drone).
The full changelog can be found below, as well as fixes.
You can download Volanta for free from the Volanta website to start tracking your flights, as well as a list of other features.
Volanta Changelog
- Punctuality adds the ability to set scheduled times on your flight and know if you’re on time, delayed or late. Scheduled times can be populated by importing from SimBrief, our schedules or manually. If scheduled times are not applicable for your flight (or you’re not interested in tracking these statistics), you can hide them with the arrow on the top right
- You can track punctuality either in real-time or following simulator time, if you want to track a flight scheduled earlier in the day or are expecting to pause the simulator
- The new trash page, available from the sidebar, allows accidentally deleted flights to be recovered for 30 days after their initial deletion
- Improved the parsing of MSFS2024 PLN files by including runway numbers, SID and STAR procedures and the coordinates of custom waypoints
- Landing events will now appear on top of the flight path in 3D mode and will no longer be obscured by it
- We added new icons for: P28B, S22T, P32R, P32T, HUNT, B78X, DHC6, P3, S92, AT8T, UAV (generic drone) as well as YS11 submitted by Hexe – thank you very much!
