FX Unleashed 0.7.0

Updates itself from 0.5.x and 0.6.x: the banner (or the About tab) offers it, one click installs it, Roll back is there if you want the old one.

What's new

• The LMGT3 Aston Martin Vantage AMR dash. Converted 1:1 from Redadeg's SimHub dash on lmu-dashboards.com
  and checked item by item against the original: the centre gear with its setting, flag, LIFT, overboost and lap-summary screens, the
  seven dials of the bottom bar, speed, laps, brake bias, delta, water and oil temperatures, the start lights, the pit limiter and pit
  stop screens, and the ignition screens. Its captions are drawn in the original's own font. It comes with the plugin and is in the library.
• Parts of a dash that flip on their own. A dash can now have up to four sets of pages that flip separately, as SimHub dashes with
  several widgets do. In the AMR: energy / fuel, the lap times and the tyres. Next page flips them all; Next page 1 to
  Next page 4 flip one set each. They're wheel buttons (Dashes tab) and SimHub controls, the same for every dash that has them,
  so you bind them once. The SimHub import makes these sets by itself.
• Smoother overlays. Pop-ups over round shapes that the screen draws itself (a flag or setting change in the centre of a dash) come and
  go with less drawing and no flicker at their edges, with and without the screen's RAM patch.
• Screensavers: a Refresh button next to "Add a dash as a screensaver". A dash you just saved or installed now shows up in that list
  without restarting SimHub (the list is also read again each time you open it).

Everything else is as in 0.6.1.

For dash makers

Dash format 4 (the sets of pages: PageSets, conditions page2:N to page4:N, see docs/dash-format.md); 0.6.x refuses a dash in it and
asks for the update. fxdash verify now counts a dash's first update as loading, not as its busiest second.

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 (Discord or GitHub issues).

Install and update

From 0.5.x or 0.6.x: let it update itself (About tab). New install: close SimHub, copy User.FXProRpmSync.dll from the zip into your SimHub folder, start SimHub,
turn the plugin on. 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.
