UI Enhancer now starts more reliably in the sim, tells you if your simulator is too old for it, and finds the right Community folder for Steam players who once had the Store version.

Install or update

  1. Download UIEnhancer-Community-0.24.7.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

  • Starts more reliably in the sim. UI Enhancer's first step inside the simulator no longer depends on how the sim reports one small internal image. If an install looked fine but nothing appeared in the menus, update and try again.
  • Warns you about an old simulator. UI Enhancer is made for Sim Update 7 and later. If your simulator is older, the Home page now says so and tells you to update it, instead of installing quietly and doing nothing. The app now reads your simulator's own build number for this.
  • Right Community folder on Steam. If you play on Steam but once had the Microsoft Store version, the app used to pick the Store version's Community folder, which the Steam sim never reads. It now follows the simulator it finds (including one that's running) and keeps a folder you choose yourself.
  • New place on screen: bottom centre. Corner tools can also sit as a small triangle in the middle of the bottom edge. Community still lets you use one place at a time.
  • Time of day moves as you drag. Dragging a clock hand changes the simulator's time while you drag, like the sim's own Flight Conditions slider, instead of only when you let go.
  • Better help when something's wrong. Copy diagnostics (About & support) now includes your simulator's build number and which settings files were found, so a problem report says where the install went.

Requirements

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 on Sim Update 7 or later (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).
