Patch Notes v2025.10.271844Bugfixes[Twitch bot] Resolved takeoff event not having the variables interpolated.

We’ve heard back from Orbx/Volanta regarding the issues with the data export file extensions and file contents. Unfortunately, their response wasn't what we were hoping for, but we want to keep you informed and share it with you all. First and foremost, it's important to note that the Volanta import functionality will remain disabled for the foreseeable future while we attempt to reach a resolution with the Volanta team. However, based on the ticket we submitted and the response we received, it unfortunately appears they are not currently willing to work with us on a solution. The problemOver the past week, we've seen a growing number of support tickets and community po…

Hi all, We’ve been informed through a support ticket that a recent Windows update released yesterday/today is causing widespread issues affecting many other applications and developers. The updates are KB:5066835, KB:5066131 and KB:5065789. This update impacts ELEVATEX, preventing it from connecting to the simulator. The root of the issue appears to be changes Microsoft made to the HTTP/2 protocol, which are disrupting localhost connections. Several users on Stack Overflow have suggested potential workarounds, which may help restore functionality. ⚠️ Important: Please proceed with caution. We are not responsible for any issues that may arise from uninstalling or modif…

Hi all, With our recent update full of fixes, additions and enhancements we are prepping one last final update before we will start our development on the Virtual Airlines feature we have planned for Q4. While this upcoming update will be one of the last major ones before our Virtual Airlines roll-out we will still push out bug fixes as needed.

We are going to implement a fully functional, all in-house VA integration. There are several others solutions currently available at this time, we will incorporate the most important …
