Airport Visual System, also known as AVS, is a well-known utility plugin by FlightFactor for X-Plane 11 serving the purpose of OANS – On-board Airport Navigation System. The addon has been on the scene for a while, but it wasn’t the kind of plugin you would desperately want to purchase straight-away.
The new version, version two, features many fixes and new features such as added Navigraph interface, updated user interface, added support for X-Plane 11.50, or fixed inability to enter numbers in the ICAO entry field, for example. As usual, the complete changelog can be found below.
The upgrade from version one to version two is free of charge for current owners. If you don’t own the first version, you can get the version two for $19.95 $24.95 via the X-Plane.org Store.
