Release 20250506

General

• Several bug fixes
  • Fixed Certain simconnect override types could lead to corrupted user xml
  • Fixed main setup window popping up every time if a joystick PID was not entered (e.g. if user had only pedals)

MSFS\XPLANE

• New device type capability "Trim Wheel" has been added to TelemFFB
  • Reads from and writes to trim axis.
  • Syncs with aircraft trim position on load-in to aircraft
  • Follows elevator trim during autopilot engagement
  • Follows elevator trim if trim buttons are used as well

MSFS

• Improved autopilot following logic
  • New "Deadzone" per axis setting for autopilot following. Input will not register until deadzone area is exceeded - improves behavior on autopilots that do not tolerate any input
  • New settings to increase/decrease the amount of physical movement of the stick that the AP inputs will produce

Release 20250309

MSFS 2024

• Use simvar CAMERA STATE to avoid playing telemetry while in menus (pause unless value is 2-5). Workaround required due to simconnect pause state bugs in FS2024

Release 20250101

General

• It is now possible to bind and use button presses from the master instance to control force trim functions in the pedal/collective instances
  • In the force trim settings for the respective device, enable the "use buttons from master" option and then bind your button(s).
• Fix some UI sizing issues

MSFS

• (FS24) Fixed state detection during avatar walkaround for telemetry/effect pausing

Release 20241213

General

• General UI optimization
  • Lighter weight UI theme
  • Effect IDs visible in effects monitor (to match effect IDs visible in configurator debug tab)
  • More robust geometry saving
• "Keep forces on Pause" feature now honors all active spring/damper/inertia/friction effects

DCS

• Option added in system settings to disable export script checking/auto-install for those using non-standard save games locations

IL-2

• Improved effect management during IL2 game window focus loss
• Added IL-2 system settings option to leave effects running during window focus loss. Can assist with effect tuning but may lead to odd behavior and/or stuck effects
• Added discrete effect settings for gunfire/rocket/bomb (was previously a single "weapon release" effect)

MSFS

• Work around some of the active telemetry issues in MSFS2024 when in menus, avatar mode and cinematic cut scenes
• Added many basic profiles for default MSFS2024 aircraft
• "Axis Control" now enabled by default

Release 20241103

General

• Fix device PID/Ident check when selecting configurator profiles for child devices from the master instance window

MSFS

• Fix collective initialization in HPGHelicopter type

Release 20241031

General

• Soft require firmware v 1.0.17
  • MSFS Dynamic forces effect and "new" g-force effect (all sims) are now using features introduced in the 1.0.17 firmware
• Fixes
  • Fix crash on startup when device PID is wrong or device is disconnected
  • Fix device gains read during startup being pushed to device on every settings change

All Sims

• Enhanced "new g-force" effect
  • Effect now uses the spring center, rather than true center to determine applied gain. Works better in aircraft with displaced centers and helicopters. Also accounts for offset center due to trim
• New generic "Collective Force Trim"
  • Available in helicopters for MSFS/X-Plane/DCS
  • Trim release/reset and hat trim bindings available

MSFS

• Improved dynamic forces effect. Eliminated issue that was producing oscillations due to g-force component of the effect
