Maddog Sound Fix v3.0.0

This release adds Leonardo 2.1.283 support and replaces the multi-step command workflow with automatic Community detection and installation.

Before updating

Current users must close the simulator and manually move their existing unversioned generated package out of Community, usually maddog-sound-compat-native-2024 or maddog-sound-compat-msfs2020 before running the new installer. The installer refuses to co-load a normal marked legacy folder of either recommended v2 linked name with a fresh versioned package; a differently named custom linked legacy package must still be moved out manually.

Do not merge the new package into an older one. Never delete either paid source package.

What changed

  • Automatic installation: double-click Install Maddog Sound Fix.bat or run maddog-sound-fix.exe install. One process detects supported Store/Steam Community locations, validates the exact Leonardo and IA package folders, and performs the locked installation.
  • Versioned package names: new installs use maddog-ia-sound-fix-<version>. A later installer removes an older version-stamped package only when its current-catalog marker, payload hash, metadata, exact tree, and physical identity all pass. A catalog-changing release stops and requires moving the older generated folder out of Community manually.
  • Leonardo 2.1.283: native MSFS 2024 now supports Leonardo 2.1.282 or 2.1.283 with IA 1.0.0.
  • Official exhaust placement: generated 2.1.282 exhaust sound points now match Leonardo's official 2.1.283 positions. Leonardo 2.1.283 already contains those points and needs no model override.
  • Simpler CLI: the old overlay and choices commands are removed. install --dry-run validates without writing, and path/target/output overrides remain available.

Supported versions

  • Native MSFS 2024: Leonardo 2.1.282 or 2.1.283 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. The Windows executable remains unsigned.
