Custom Status Bar - Major Enhancements (custom_status_bar.py)

  • Much more customizable than before!
    • On the first run, a new template file is created /status_bar_template.py. This is a Python file that will be loaded that can be used to extensively change the appearance and behavior of the status bar.
    • For example: now in the template with some minor changes you can use @leftos idea to have the timer show a countdown from the EOBT (Est Off-Block_time) to show if you are ahead or behind schedule before engines are on.
    • Added new template functions VARIF / ## dynamic templates - thanks @leftos for idea/implementation.
  • See the documentation for more details: Custom Status Bar Documentation

New Scripts Added:

metar_load.py

  • Load either a real time metar or a historical metar based on simulator date/time.

plot_joystick.py

  • Shows a draggable joystick visualization.
  • Shows axis and trim values state.
  • Trim dynamically set to either helicopter or plane trims.

New MobiFlight Scripts

⚠️ Important -
The following new scripts require a MobiFlight WASM module installation: See Notes on Mobiflight Integration. ⚠️

fenix_lights.py (Requires MobiFlight WASM Community Module)

  • Initializes flight deck lighting to preassigned values.
  • This will also work around the full bright MSFS 2024 lighting bug (all lights are toggled on/off).
  • At start up it will give option to assign a joystick axis to control the screen lighting with one axis.
  • Also will take left most screen brightness knob and propogate its brightness value to all screens.

fenix_radio.py (Requires MobiFlight WASM Community Module)

  • Shows a draggable overlay panel that shows radio channel state (RMP1)
  • Intended for those with a hardware controller that does not display values.

fbw_a380_checklist.py (Requires MobiFlight WASM Community Module)

  • Allows keyboard control of built in FBW A380 Checklist system.
  • Key Bindings:
    • CONFIRM= "shift+enter"
    • DOWN = "shift+down"
    • UP = "shift+up"
    • TOGGLE = "shift+delete"

Launcher (MSFS-PyScriptManager) New Features

  • Settings Changer: for certain scripts a "Open Settings" button is added to open an integrated save file editor.
  • Autoclose: even if MSFS-PyScriptManager is forced closed, it will properly shutdown all running Python processes - this allows full launch/shutdown automation with tools such as MSFS Addons Linker (https://flightsim.to/file/1572/msfs-addons-linker).
  • Input Support: can now run scripts that use keyboard input.
  • Integrated console(shell): This allows console commands to be run in the launcher directly.
  • Dark Mode Support: On Win11 support dark mode of titlebars.
  • Added "Restart All" button: to easily relaunch all running scripts.
  • Added "Stop" button: stop an individual script.
  • Color print() support (ANSI).
  • Tab Drag/Drop.
  • Performance Metrics Tab: Shows performance stats on running scripts.

And much more...
