Maddog Sound Fix v2.0.0

Maddog Sound Fix v2.0.0

This release fixes APU playback across camera changes and makes the normal build-and-install path simpler.

What changed

• APU playback continuity: in native MSFS 2024, APU startup, steady running, shutdown, and open-window playback now continue correctly when switching between cockpit and outside views.
• Directly installable output: the folder created by overlay build --output is now the complete Community package. There is no extra wrapper folder, build report, or source-hash file.
• Clearer commands: normal help focuses on overlay check and overlay build. Optional family-choice commands remain available through --show-admin --help.
• Safer compatibility checks: the tool recognises the supported Leonardo Manager and GSX metadata changes while continuing to reject changed sound, bank, model, and configuration payloads.

Before upgrading from v1.0.0

• Remove the old generated Maddog Sound Fix package from Community and build a fresh one. Do not merge the new package into the old one.
• Saved ownership files created by v1.0.0 are not compatible with this release. Advanced users must export their choices again with the new executable.
• The supported paid-package versions have not changed.

Supported versions

• Native MSFS 2024: Leonardo 2.1.282 with Immersive Audio 1.0.0.
• MSFS 2020: Leonardo 2.0.281 with Immersive Audio 1.0.0.

MSFS 2020 remains runtime-unverified by the maintainer and may need the generated package ordered after Leonardo. The Windows executable remains unsigned, so verify the published SHA-256 before running it.

Read the much shorter README.md in the ZIP for the complete build, install, update, and removal steps.
