Release 20241006

General

• Updated many effects to work properly with pedals axis. "Direction" was hard coded for y axis which does not exist for pedals.

DCS

• Remove bad damage telemetry from Mi-24 causing random activation of the damage effect

MSFS

• Fix issue that would cause trouble with cyclic spring initialization when the sim freezes or pauses while the trim release button is being held.
• Improve AFCS following logic for HPGHelicopter class
• New 'SASHelicopter' class to support 2-axis SAS that will be supported on upcoming 'heliSAS' mods from SimFocus.

Release 20240908

General

• Configurator gains learned at startup no longer restored upon exit unless enabled in system settings

DCS

• CH47 - Enable door gunner to trigger weapons effect
• Add G-Force effect as optional for helicopters (was not previously available)

DCS/IL2/MSFS/XPLANE

• New G-Force effect for fixed wing aircraft
• The original effect worked OK, but the "curvature" of the applied force would often lead to oscillations or a jerky feeling
• The new effect uses a linear calculation based on the min/max G settings to determine the primary force factor
• The physical stick deflection is then used as a factor to determine the final applied force. For any given g-loading, "the harder you are pulling, the more force you will feel"
• The range of stick deflection that results in %100 applied force is adjustable
• Allows for negative G effect also.
• For DCS/IL2, If both the new and old effects are enabled at the same time, the new effect takes precedence. The legacy effect was not previously available for MSFS/XPLANE.

Release 20240812

General

• Avoid placing TelemFFB window off screen if saved location is from a disconnected monitor
• Button binds in TelemFFB now support PoV Hats when "use hats as buttons" is disabled in configurator

DCS

• Add rotor RPM + damage telemetry for CH-47

DCS/MSFS/X-Plane

• Add Hardware Force Trim for pedals in Helos

Release 20240726

General

Release - June 22, 2024

QoL Improvements

• New system tray implementation (see manual)
  • TelemFFB can now be sent to system tray on startup and/or close button. Window can be recalled by double-clicking the tray icon or from the icon right-click context menu
  • System tray icon color indicates simulator run/pause/error state like the existing status icons
  • Configuration errors (such as enabling MSFS force trim and having no binding configured) now present the error message in the UI, and generate a system tray notification for easier recognition of the issue.
• Real-time settings usability improvements
  • Values update in near real-time when manipulating sliders
  • Manipulating sliders no longer causes a form re-load
  • -/+ buttons added to left/right of slider for single step adjustments
    • Shift+Scroll wheel or left/right up/down arrow keys while hovering mouse of the slider is also supported
• Minor UI overhaul
  • Look and feel updates with on/off sliders in lieu of checkboxes and improved icons.

General

• Configurator effect slider overrides (see manual)
  • Now you can directly modify, in real-time, the slider gain setting for any of the effect types without creating and pushing a separate vpconf file
  • Can be overridden on a per Sim/Aircraft Class/Specific Aircraft basis
• Minor enhancement to gear and canopy movement effects. You will feel a bump/clunk when the gear fully extend/retract or when the canopy (when applicable) closes

MSFS

• Improved/Simplified settings for adjusting dynamic spring forces (see manual)
  • Prior "Gain" setting is removed and the "Max Force" setting is now affixed to the aircraft "Vne" speed (learned via telemetry) while maintaining true dynamic forces based on aerodynamic conditions.
  • "Expo" adjustment to adjust the rate at which the force falls off at low speeds.
  • RTFM for the best experience using these new settings.

DCS

• Added tail-hook movement effect (supported on a/c with tailhooks)
• Added wing-fold effect (F/A-18, F-14)
• Added fuel-boom effect (supported on all a/c with fuel boom/door)
• Added Co-Pilot/RIO Spring Override feature
  • Can temporarily override/disable spring force when user has moved away from pilots seat. Optionally can bind a button that must also be held down.
  • Note that seat data is not available at this time for some aircraft (like the F-4E).
