VACA ACARS We’re excited to release ACARS 2.0, a major update built on a solid new foundation that brings significant improvements and sets the stage for future enhancements.
Update Required: Please update your Pegasus ACARS client as soon as possible to ensure continued compatibility and access to new features. Download now
ACARS v1 will be sunsetted on October 20, 2025, at approximately 17:00 UTC.

Key Improvements

  • Improved Layout: Redesigned interface
  • Flap Detection: Accurate flap value names for most aircraft (e.g., Flaps value of 2 will display as “Flaps 15”)
  • Enhanced FSUIPC Stability: Improved interface with FSUIPC for more stable and error-resistant connections
  • MSFS 2024 Support: Full livery detection support for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
  • Landing Rate G-Force: Now records and detects G-force on landing, sampled at 40Hz for precise measurements. We are going to update the points system soon to reflect this new feature.
  • Improved Landing Detection: Better runway turnoff and taxi start detection after landing
  • Expanded Landing Summary: More detailed landing summary messages
  • Cabin Sounds: You can now customize cabin sounds within the ACARS client

ACARS v1 Sunset

  • After this date, it will be impossible to log in to Pegasus v1
  • All in-progress flights being done with Pegasus v1 will be lost
  • Please ensure you update to Pegasus v2 before this date to avoid any disruption to your operations

Windows Users

  • You must install the latest compatible version of FSUIPC for your simulator (free version is sufficient)
  • If you use X-Plane, no additional downloads are needed—Pegasus connects via UDP
  • Important: Pegasus, FSUIPC, and your simulator should not be run in Admin mode unless absolutely necessary
  • If admin mode is required, all three components must be run as Admin (Pegasus, FSUIPC, and the simulator)
  • If Pegasus cannot detect your FSUIPC, ensure FSUIPC/Simulator is not running as admin

macOS / Linux Users

  • You must install the latest version of .NET Runtime 9 before running Pegasus
  • Failure to install .NET Runtime will result in Pegasus not launching
  • Linux Users: You may need to chmod +x the downloaded AppImage to make it executable
