WASM gauge package not loaded by aircraft add-ons

Version: v1.1.9.0 (MSFS 2024)

Frequency: Always

Severity: High BLOCKER

Similar MSFS 2020 issue: No

Context:Mounted in Community, shows as active in VFS, but the WASM gauge is not used by aircraft add-ons via panel.cfg file

Attachments: A PM has been sent to @PrivateContent with a sample panel.cfg

Bug description:

@FlyingRaccoon This is a critical bug where the TDS GTNXi is not working in MSFS 2024! This is HIGHLY CRITICAL for us.

The TDS GTNXi is a WASM gauge add-on package and aircraft then reference the TDS GTNXi via the panel.cfg.
This has worked well in MSFS 2020.

Below is a simple example with the MSFS 2024 SDK gauges, which anybody can try:

Example from an aircraft’s panel.cfg entry which does not work: htmlgauge00=WasmInstrument/WasmInstrument.html?wasm_module=Wasm\GdiPlusModule.wasm&wasm_gauge=Compass

Example of a general package containing WASM gauges, which are then referenced by aircraft:
Community\MySamplePackage\Wasm\GdiPlusModule.wasm
The package gets mounted correctly, it is displayed in the VFS Projector as well.

In MSFS 2024 the same instrument referencing works with JS gauges, for example if an aircraft developer wants to integrate the GNS/G3X/G1000NXi, but not with WASM gauges due to this bug.

I have previously posted this bug in the wrong section of devsupport, so this is a repost in the correct section with high hopes that we will receive an answer to this.

I’m sharing the same issue! This is a critical feature for aircraft designed to use WASM gauges from other packages. I have integrated external gauges into aircraft add-ons in MSFS 2020 without any issues. And now doing this with WASM gauges does not work in MSFS 2024.
