UI Enhancer Community Edition 0.22.8

A redesigned app: settings you can read at a glance, a simpler In flight page, and safer changes. Favourite aircraft now hides the aircraft picker's Marketplace tab (see below).

Install or update

1. Download UIEnhancer-Community-0.22.8.zip below and extract it to a folder of your choice (not the Community folder). If you have an earlier version, extract over it or to a new folder.
2. Run UIEnhancerManager.exe. If Windows shows "Windows protected your PC", click More info, then Run anyway.
3. Close the simulator, then click Update in the app. Your settings and favourites are kept.

See the README for details.

What's changed

• Settings as a list, with details beside it. Each settings page lists its options with their switches. Click one to see its picture and what it does in a panel on the right. Every setting's description has been rewritten to be clearer.
• New In flight page. It shows a picture of the flight screen. Click a corner, the toolbar or the notifications to set it up in the panel beside the picture. Click an empty corner to choose what goes there.
• The bottom-right corner is the Notifications corner. Choose which notifications you want in its panel; Landing rate is the first.
• Favourite aircraft hides the Marketplace tab. The aircraft picker's tab row only has room for so many tabs, and the Favourites tab would push Marketplace off the end, so the Marketplace tab is hidden while favourite aircraft are on. The Marketplace is still on the home screen.
• Changes are applied with the simulator closed. The "Apply when it closes" option is gone. While the simulator is running, Apply waits until you close it. The simulator only reads add-ons when it starts.
• No more lost changes. Closing the app with unapplied changes asks whether to apply them first. Changes that need administrator rights are applied straight after the app restarts.
• Reset to recommended on every settings page, and for everything at once on Home. Discarding changes can be undone.
• Recommended settings are the defaults. Skipping the first-run setup now gives the same result as choosing Recommended.
• Warnings where you'll see them. Home now tells you if another add-on changes the same menus, or if your simulator version hasn't been tested yet.
• Simulator settings backups. Put back a single changed setting with Undo. Any of the last 20 backups can be restored from the Installation page.
• Search covers every page and opens the setting you pick.
• The window opens larger and remembers its size and position. The app also does less work in the background while you fly.

Requirements

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 (Microsoft Store or Steam), Windows 10 or 11, and the Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime (part of Windows 11; the app tells you if it's missing).
