PilotsDeck Versions Save

Installer:

• Improved: UI does not hang while doing the Installation Steps
• Added: Automatically installs/updates .NET 7 and MobiFlight WASM Module

Plugin:

• Improved: Continuous Input (e.g. turning an Encoder) does not block the Displays being updated
• Changed: Poll-Time decreased to 100ms (the Plugin will poll the Sim / update the Displays more often)
• Libraries Updated

ATTENTION Hotfix @ 19.01.2024

• Fixed Installer: Not allowing to install when MSFS is not installed.

• Installer: added Argument to disable MSFS Checks
• Installer: "Pump" Check improved ( #33 )
• Installer: Updated Dependencies to the latest available Versions
• Fix for Calculator L-Var Template not working with L-Vars ending on L
• Improved Calculator L-Var Template and Value Manipulator: An additional Reset Value can be configured. When the Variable is equal to the defined Limit it will be set to the Value of Reset
• Updated to StreamDeck SDK 6.1 (now the new Minimum)
• Updated Libraries

• Fixed: DataRefs containing only 1 Character long Names where not recognized (The first Name in the Path still needs to be at least 2 Character long!)
• Fixed: Offset-Addresses where sometimes registered as L-Var (and thus a L-Var with that Name was created)
• Fixed: Links in the Installer pointed to the wrong minimum .NET Version (listed for completeness, was already fixed in the 0.7.9 Binary after the 3rd April)

• L-Var Names can now contain Colons : and Dots . (For Names like A32NX_ENGINE_N1:1 or A320.audio.1.tone)

• Libraries updated

UPDATE 03rd April: Re-Uploaded 0.7.9 with the correct .NET Links in the Installer.

The Release with a big Plus 😄

• Added Support for the SD Plus!
  • The Actions "Display Value with Switch", "COM Radio" and "Display Gauge" are also available on the Encoders
  • You can set separate Commands for Left, Right and TouchTap (no Hold or Long-Touch)
  • The Normal/Long Press (called Main and Second Command now) are mapped to pressing the Dial
  • Besides having more Commands to set, they behave the same as their KeyPad Variant
• Simple "Value Manipulations" possible on all Variables used as Command
  • Increasing/Decreasing by a defined Step with an optional Limit
  • Sending a Sequence of Values
• The Calculator Command now understands two Templates for increasing/decreasing L-Vars and triggering K-Vars (SimEvents) without the Need to write full RPN Code. Especially the Template for inc/decreasing is very useful on the Encoders for Left & Right (on L-Var based Aircrafts. Else prefer Controls/K-Vars).
• "Toggle Switch" now available on all Actions and all non-Variable based Commands (except vJoys)
  • A separate Variable to Monitor can now be configured
  • But still only available for the Main Command
• Reset Value renamed to "Reset Switch." Available on all Variable-based Commands (except vJoys) and all Actions
• A new Option called "Hold Switch" available on all Commands except vJoys. Because it will act like a vJoy! With that Option but you can directly configure the Commands (or Values) for down/pressed and up/unpressed in the StreamDeck UI!
• The Dynamic Button now allows to define an "Image Map". It works roughly like the Value-to-Text Mappings: You can map Values to Images, as many as you like (so more than 3 States are possible now!)
• The Format options now also allows to add leading Zeros
• The Plugin now has an Installer as the recommended Way to install it. It will check the basic Requirements and informs which are missing.
• The Plugin now uses the WASM Module from Mobi-Flight (Requirement now)
  • Situations where new L-Vars could not be read because FSUIPC ran into its Limit are gone now!
  • That also enables the Plugin to read any A-Var (SimVar) -they can be accessed without the Need for the myOffsets File. And generally accessing them by Name instead of an arbitrary Hex-Number - but you have to get the Units right, though.
  • FSUIPC is still the main Connection Method (and thus Requirement) for anything but X-Plane.
  • The Plugin is just using something else in the Background for LVars, HVars and Calculator. Nothing to reconfigure in your Profiles.
• The Plugin now includes ImportProfiles Tool to make it a little bit easier to use your own/downloaded Profiles for Switching
  • It asks for the DeckType and imports every Profile from the \Profiles Subfolder to the Plugin manifest
  • The selections are saved on each run. It will only ask for new Profiles (handy on Plugin Updates)
  • The old empty and preconfigured Profiles Whiskey, X-Ray and so on are not needed anymore. They can be deleted if never used.
• Some Improvements in the Property Inspector
  • Added a small Image Preview in the Property Inspector for every Image Selection
  • Renamed and Reordered some Options so that there is a bit more commonality, e.g. using the Terms Command and Variable throughout
  • Tried to improve the Appearance a little bit, but my CSS-Skills are just INOP ^^
• The Default Image drawn when not connected is now closer to the current Configuration so that changes can be better previewed. A Value of 0 is assumed.
• The Readme was completely overhauled ... which is hopefully an Improvement!
• Much Rewrites/Refactors in the Background and Bugs I found on the Way ;D
• Airbus Profiles/Integrations with the new Features: FSLabs, Fenix, ToLiss. The FBW too, within the possibilities given ...

• Toggle Switch Option for Control and XP-Commands added (toggle a Switch with two different Controls/Commands)
• XP-Commands can now be chained
• HVars can now be chained
• Updated Libraries (full SU11 Compatibility)
• Now compiled for .NET 7 (Update your Runtime!)
• Improved Sim-Connection/-State Handling
• Fixed Bug with XP-DataRefs where they would not update when a DataRef is used multiple times on one Profile/Folder
• Fixed Bug with Profile Switching with XP12
• Fixed Bug with Comparisons/Value Matching
• Fixed Bug where Actions would stay in Error State

• Added Support for LuaValue as Script Action

• Toliss Integration: Fixed Bug that could crash (exit) the Sim
• Plugin: Using different dataref for Profile Switching (now XP12 only)

• Updated C# Client to current Version (should fix some connections Issues)
• Bugfix for DataRefs not updating on the Deck when used more than once

MSFS SU10 Compatibility:

• Compiled against FSUIPC 7.3.9h Beta (available in the FSUIPC Forum)

X-Plane Support:

• The Plugin now connects directly to X-Plane via WebSocket
• DataRefs can directly be entered (Commands, Value Access for read/write)
• Profile Switching is supported based on the Livery Path

Comparisons:

• Value Mappings now support multiple Comparisons (greater/lesser) and can be mixed with discrete Mappings (equality)
• Values used for Image display can also be expressed as a comparison, e.g. ">=0.3"

Fenix PilotsDeck Integration:

• Added more Switches & Buttons
• Updated to new Icons (Black/Round)
• GSX Integration
• Updated for SU10
