PilotClient 1.4.5 released for P3D/FSX/FS2020

Post by Keith Smith »

v.1.5.0 Aug 22, 2023
- added P3DV6 support

v1.4.5 Apr 18, 2023
- If previously-saved audio input/output devices aren't available, reverts to using operating system defaults. This provides a better outcome after Windows updates which tend to update the audio device signatures, resulting in the saved preferences no longer being valid.

v1.4.4 Oct 15, 2022
-Added TTS sound files for connection and disconnection notifications.
-Added feature allowing PTT to be used to connect and disconnect to the PilotEdge network.
-Updated model matching rules to allow all MSFS/Asobo aircraft to be matched as other user & drone aircraft. Added support for Deluxe and Premium Deluxe aircraft.
-FSX: Fixed missing transponder modes and code
-FSX: Fixed missing groundspeed

v1.4.3 Aug 3, 2022
- Fixed drone and traffic aircraft lighting.
- Added sound for unexpected disconnects. This sound is mapped to Windows “Critical Stop” sound.
- Added simvars for monitoring multiple radios used by some third party developers.

v1.4.2 May 24, 2022
- altered how traffic is injected to avoid contrail artifacts in FS2020
- fixed transponder altitude reporting error.

v1.4.1 Feb 11, 2022
- Transponder mode 'ON' now equates to Mode C being off
- fixed FS2020 simulator detection to support changes to how the simulator is now installed

v1.4.0 Sep 9, 2021
- Adds transponder ident feature to MSFS G1000 NXi (Working Title mod).
- Fixed bug in FSX version

v1.3.11 July 13, 2021
- MSFS - Simulator transponder modes are now supported. Ident feature still requires use of the web interface.
- Internal fix to correct transponder code resetting to 1200 following a disconnection.
- MSFS - Default aircraft model changed to Cessna 172
- Model matching rules updated to include helicopter matching and SimVenture updates.

v1.3.3 Sep 4, 2020
- simconnect.dll removed from installation to make virus scanners happy. The installer now downloads the simconnect.dll file at the end of the installation process

v1.3.2 Sep 2, 2020
- FS2020 initial support with hardcoded model matching for standard edition models (no scanning of models to see what is installed yet)
- Known issues
- simultaneous reception of COM1 and COM2 not properly supported with any audio panels except the steam gauge 172
- primary flight controls are not animated

v.1.2.3 July 21, 2020
- fix for ground clamping now constantly adjusts instead of only at touchdown, allows for sloping runways from other sims

V1.1.2 - Apr 15, 2020
Added
- Prepar3D v5 is now fully supported. Since v5 is a separate install, you'll need to switch your sim in use under 'Settings -> Model Matching' when you switch from v4 to v5 or vice versa.

V1.1.1 - Mar 17, 2020
Fixed
- rapid frequency changes no longer communicated to the server until the currency frequency has been selected for more than ~300ms. This is useful for 'direct tune' radio stacks that don't have a standby frequency and reduces server workload in dealing with rapid frequency changes.

V1.1.0 - Mar 6, 2019
Added
- Implemented VHF distortion.
- Added ignore list.

Fixed
- Support additional add-ons.cfg file locations.
- Crash bug if model matching data download fails.
- Do not use Carenado models for model matching.

Removed
- Remove flight plan form from web UI.
