IMPORTANT Notice 21st March 2023

MSFS SU12 appears to render the fonts in VR incorrectly; there is a fix for VSR available as a beta version under the link on the right

The key consideration is that this is a release of both the server and the toolbar app; the latter has changes that allows for the content to be resized.

0.8.1.X will address the SU12 bug; a value of 2.5 in the VR Zoom setting will fix it. Note there are some quirks with resizing, the zoom with mouse wheel on the map for instance needs your cursor to be centred about 25% to the NW of your aircraft!

A major change is that the configuration is now maintained in the registry - if you are familiar with Regedit then the keys are at: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\DeltaBravoZulu\VSR. The server will attempt to import your existing config from config.ini if it is in the same directory. To reverse and retry the process delete this key.
