Changes in this build:

  • The layout for this version of the application has been completely redesigned to facilitate easier and faster access to all sections of the application. The new home screen is where you select the folder for the instance of X-Plane you wish to manage, and where you will find the configuration profile that's currently active (if a profile has been enabled).

  • The new Profiles section allows you to add and remove configuration profies for the instance of X-Plane you are managing. The configuration profiles can store scenery pack, aircraft, and plug-in configurations. New to this build is the abilty to store your in-game X-Plane preferences. This new feature allows you to store your graphics configuration, joystick/flight control configurations, custom key mappings, and screen placement mappings. This enables scenarios such as remembering placement of your screens for multi-monitor setups where screen placement may need to be different for each aircraft being flown. Instead of manually tweaking the layout on your monitors for every flight, you can use a configuration profile to store these settings for you so that screen layout is automatically updated as your enable your various configuration profiles. To save your X-Plane preferences simply press the button to Store Preferences. Enablement of a configuration profile will automatically load your scenery pack configurations, aircraft selections, plug-in selections, and X-Plane preferences whenever a profile has been selected.

  • In the scenery section, I added a new requested feature that will automatically enable scenery for you along a flight path that has been specificed in a flight plan. All scenery that doesn't intersect with the flight path is automatically disabled, with the exception of some prespecifieid library packs that are commonly used in X-Plane. This feature may still disable some libraries that contain scenery as well, so please inspect the applied scenery packs if you chose to utilize this feature. Please remember that changes to scenery pack configuration need to be saved any time you make a modification. This is the only section you need to do this in. All other sections (aircraft, plugins) automatically save any time you make a change. I've implemented change control that makes you aware of when you need to save your scenery pack configuration!

  • The Aircraft and Plug-in sections will now automatically expand to show all Aircraft and Plug-ins.

  • The new Backgrounds section allows you to add and remove custom backgrounds to your X-Plane instance. Image selection is currently limited to .png files.
