X-Plane Add-on Utility v1.2
Version 1.2 Update!
As always, a big thank you to everyone who has contributed to app feedback! It's been a invaluable source of information for squashing bugs and implementing new features. Apologies for the delay in the release cadence. This build had more moving parts than I had originally anticipated, and every time I implemented a new component something else needed to be updated, tweaked, fixed, etc.
Updates in this build:
-
Added support for individual flight configurations. When you open the app, you'll notice a white button in the center of the menu that lets you create a configuration profile. You can also manage your configuration profiles from the menu bar application as well (under Manage Configurations). When you add a new configuration file, you'll need to ensure that it's selected in the picker and then visit each section in the app that you wish to store settings for, making whatever adjustments you require. The scenery section requires you to press SAVE to confirm your happy with the ordering of your scenery pack data in order the values to be written to the configuration file. All other sections (Aircraft and Plugins) get updated and saved automatically anytime you make an adjustment to a setting. The application will remember the last configuration profile you utilized and will load all settings from this file as soon as the add-on utility is launched. Every time you select a new profile the settings are automatically applied for you, negating the need to visit each section of the app. If you remove a configuration profile from the list, please ensure that you select another profile that you want to utilize for your next flight. If there are no configuration profiles to choose from, the picker menu will disappear and be replaced with the white "New Configuration" button in the middle of the menu.
-
The application is no longer running in a sandbox, and symbolic file links are now fully supported and working.
-
Tweaked the red dot overlay that gets generated for enabled Airports and Airfields and made it smaller.
-
Lots of changes under the hood for the "Show Enabled Scenery" function. Due to the fact that lots of simmers have absolutely massive scenery packs that potentially cover thousands of tiles, I have incorporated some logic that will warn you when one of these packs is encountered, and you can choose to either let the app render the applied areas, or you can simply skip the processing of this pack. If you chose to proceed, be prepared to wait upwards of a couple minutes while the app computes the covered areas.
