Release Summary

In this release the module names do not have ANY correspondence to the location of the files that are processed. This permits multiple module configurations to use the same module. So you can define a standard configuration for a module and then a Hi Viz configuration or maybe any combination or a module configuration that includes a 3rd MFD. I recommend backing up your current configuration BEFORE you install this release.

Configuration Notes

  1. This next configuration is from the OLD version and would result in the new version being unable to find the file to load:
    <add moduleName="F-5E" displayName="F-5E Tiger II" filename="DCS F5E MFD.jpg" />
    The next one is the new version:
    <add moduleName="F-5E" displayName="F-5E Tiger II" filename="F-5E\DCS F5E MFD.jpg" />
  2. Very subtle difference but different nonetheless.

Other Features

Another feature in this version is that if you have duplicate named modules in the mfdsettings.config or there are issues with the configuration you will see an error dialog. The error dialog gives you the location of the log file so you can check it for the specific error.
