Compatibility:

• SkyElite uses SimConnect, the standard interface provided by Microsoft to connect to the simulator. Aircraft using SimConnect standard functions will work perfectly with SkyElite.
• Some aircraft developers, for whatever reason, ignore standard SimConnect functions and use their own custom ones for their planes. In this case, some SkyElite functions may not properly work or work only partially.
• All of the features included in SkyElite, and their correct operation and functionality, are subject and affected by the changes and maintenance made by Microsoft to the SimConnect Interface.
