FX Unleashed 0.5.0

The first stable release under the new name (the plugin was FXPro RPM Sync up to 0.2.x). Install it over the old one: same DLL,
same settings file, your settings carry over (the old file is copied to settings-backup-format0.json first). After this one the
plugin updates itself.

What it is

A free SimHub plugin for the Simagic FX Pro (GT Neo too). Standard mode works with stock firmware through SimPro: each car's
real shift lights, the dash per car, SimHub's data on the wheel's own dashes. Unleashed mode talks to the wheel over its own
USB cable and needs the custom firmware: your own dashes on the 800x480 screen, all 38 lights in any colour, screensavers,
alerts, a screen mirror for OBS, the dash button and paddles as buttons.

Highlights since 0.2.x

• Dashes: a designer in the browser, SimHub dash import, per-car lists, and the library (SLIPSTREAM, APEX, HALO and NOCTURNE
  in three colours, plus a Paddock clock screensaver, more coming), installed in a click from the plugin or from fxunleashed.com.
• Sharing: import a dash file (button or drop it on the Dashes tab), Share your own as one file, Copy link on library
  items, and Package for the library + a no-Git form that publishes what passes the checks on the spot.
• Lights: 14 presets that follow the car's state, an editor per group, alerts in your order (flags, spotter, ABS/TC, pit
  limiter, low fuel, invalid lap), rev lights from each car's real shift lights (AMS2 from the game's own files, other games from
  Lovely Car Data), ATSR-Hub or any SimHub LED profile as the source.
• Wheel: 48 buttons with the dash button and upper paddles chosen by you, clutch modes, live button numbers.
• Updates: a banner offers new versions, one click installs, one click rolls back (it also rolls back by itself after three
  failed starts). Stable and Beta channels.
• GT Neo: every light in USB mode, ring gauges, the same presets.

Requirements

SimHub 9.11 or newer, SimPro Manager 3 (V3.2.2 tested) for standard mode, an FX Pro or GT Neo. Tested by the maintainer on one
FX Pro on an Alpha EVO base: other bases, wheels and games may behave differently, so please report what you find.

Install and update

Close SimHub, copy User.FXProRpmSync.dll from the zip into your SimHub folder, start SimHub, turn the plugin on. After that it
updates itself (About tab). (If you tried a beta before beta 3, install this one by hand too: those builds couldn't update themselves.) Guide: https://fxunleashed.com/start/

Custom firmware for Unleashed mode

Unleashed mode (your own dashes, all 38 lights, the dash button) needs our custom firmware for the wheel, build 9 or newer. Standard mode needs nothing.

The whole path in one guide: fxunleashed.com/start (about 15 minutes, every step says what you should see)

1. Custom firmware: download it here and flash it with SimPro (Settings > Update > Manual Firmware Flash). Please read the short notice first: it is your wheel's own program, at your own risk, and Simagic's original is always one flash away.
2. This plugin (the zip below).
3. The screen's RAM patch (picture memory): optional, but highly recommended.
4. Your dashes and lights.
