Version 3.4.0.0 This release is optional. It added major new features and made performance improvements to the core of the application. I encouraged you to update to this latest version. You're still welcome to skip this update and continue to use older version of the applicaiton but they will no longer be supported going forward. ************************************************************************************************ IMPORTANT 1. In this update, your user data files including your application settings and profiles will be upgraded and moved to new a folder location in user "Documents" foder. You can backup all files within subfolder "userdata" (appsettingdata.json, userprofiledata.json) before this update occurs. To do so, plese close this update dialog using the X button in the upper right corner (do not click update button) and exit the application. Then backup the folder and relaunch the application. This update dialog will reappear and you can perform the update at that time. After the data migration, all orphan files in the installation folder will be deleted. 2. A major change to application architecture resulted in an update download size of 60MB. The update now includes .NET framework 6.0 as part of the package and you will no longer need to install .NET framework with a separate download. 3. New additional community plugin installation is required to use Auto Pop Out Panel feature. Please see information below regarding Auto Pop Out Panel improvement for installation instruciton. ************************************************************************************************ Change Log: * Changed where user data files are stored. Previously, the files are saved in subfolder "userdata" in your installation folder. Now they're moved to your Windows "Documents" folder under "MSFS Pop Out Panel Manager" for easy access. When you first start the application, a data migration step will occur and your user data files will be upgraded and moved to this new folder location. This change will allow you to install Pop Out Manager to folder of your choice on your machine since the application no longer requires write access to your installation folder. * Upgraded the application to use latest .NET 6.0 framework. You'll notice after user data migration, your installation folder will have only one executable file left. Please don't be alarmed when this file is 60MB since all .NET dependencies and application files are now packaged into a single file. You no longer need to manually install .NET framework to run this application. * Major improvement in how Auto Pop Out Panel works. The application no longer tries to hunt and click "Ready to Fly" button to continue pop out process by using "Ready to Fly Button Skipper" plugin I created. This plugin is included in the installation folder and is required for Auto Pop Out Panel to work. Please copy the folder "zzz-ready-to-fly-button-skipper" into your MSFS community folder. * Major improvement in support for touch enabled panel. Using SU10 Beta v1.27.11, touch panel capabilities has greatly improved including new support for touch down and touch up events. This update enables smooth touch operations (click and drag) for panel running on connected touch monitor or on tablet using software tool such as SpaceDesk. There is a new preference settings section for touch operation adjustments. Please see README.md for current known issue and workaround for touch operations. * Updated how the application detects Sim Start and Sim Stop to perform Auto Pop Out. It now uses the much more reliable camera state SimConnect variable for detection. * Fixed an issue where full screen mode panel does not expand the panel to fill the entire monitor. To use full screen mode correctly, once panel is popped out, move panel to desire monitor and adjust panel window to remove all top/bottom/left/right black bar. Then click on full screen mode checkbox for the panel. Next time when pop out is executed, panel will be moved to correct monitor and it will expand to fill the entire screen. [(Issue #27)] https://github.com/hawkeye-stan/msfs-popout-panel-manager/issues/27 * Added a new feature to enable or disable fall back camera once pop out is completed. You can also define a custom camera view to load if centering cockpit view does not work for you. (Issue #28) https://github.com/hawkeye-stan/msfs-popout-panel-manager/issues/28 * Added feature to change message dialog on screen duration. You can disable on screen message by setting the duration value to zero. * (New for SU10) Added additional keystroke option to pop out panel Ctrl + Right Ctrl + Left click instead of just Right-Alt + Left click. This is designed for users that have a keyboard without the Right-Alt key. To use this feature, please map (CTRL + RIGHT CTRL) in Control Options => Miscellaneous => New UI Window Mode in the game. * Cleaned up UI and improved UI guidance for user by enabling/disabling buttons and actions throughout the pop out process. * Lots of the code is rewritten from the ground up for better performance and stability. It also prepares the code architecture for v4.0 new features. Please be patient as I continue to implement v4.0. As always, please report issue and comment and I welcome all feedbacks and will do my best to fix or implement requested features. Known Issues: * In SU 10 beta (1.27.11.0), when using Touch Enabled and Full Screen Mode simultaneously for a panel, touch event may not register correctly. Please run the panel in regular pop out window with "Hide toolbar" option instead of full screen mode.
