  • Reworked installer :
    • Arduino IDE is now installed on demand and not part anymore of the installer.
    • USB displays drivers (USBD480, Vocore, AX206) can now be installed through installer (enabled by default). As installing these drivers is a long process they won't be installed on updates, only on first install.
    • Most installer dependencies (vc++ etc ...) are now using proper silent install switches
    • Monster games plugin (nascar heat ...) is now downloaded "on demand", some antiviruses being picky about it and not part anymore of the installer.
    • The installer will now try to shutdown Simhub in a proper manner before installing.
    • All the above work made the installer significantly slimmer with some positives side effects : Antivirus scan after download is significantly faster, actual installation is faster
  • Control mapper
  • USB Displays
    • All usb displays (Vocore, USBD480 ...) now have a framerate limit available according to their actual capabilities
    • Improved framerate limiting algorythm
    • Added contrast control
  • Fixes :
    • Fix : ShakeIt wind could go above 100% of wind speed making actual wind speed overflowing and starting back from 0 (issue primarly visible in shakeIt wind when using manual max speed)
    • Fix : Dashstudio widgets "initialscreenindex" was not taken into account on web engine (usb displays, browsers)
    • Fix : Devices not allowed to be suspended (when screen is off) would still show a suspended state (primarily visible in remote desktop mode)
    • Fix : Fixed a crash when using an USBD480 with builtin leds (SRH G-force LCD Pro) with a non led compatible device profile
    • Fix : Dashboard repetitions were not initialized when switching dashboards using actions
  • Improvements :
    • Serial port characteristics retrieving through WMI is now restricted to the essential properties, hopefully making simhub faster to load when a device is making WMI slow to respond.
    • If an application is using already the same TCP port as SimHub internal server port (Fiddler ...), simhub will peek automatically a new TCP port the the session, avoiding issues with usb screens.
    • A new fixed TCP port (49876) has been added for API interactions between apps and SimHub (avoiding some extra settings to set the current port or failure is the TCP port has been changed through the settings).
