Release Notes

This release cleans up some code and also adds a few key features:

Features

1. There is a new default configuration called HOTAS_KEY. This configuration is setup with default geometry and is automatically added to each module unless the module defines it. If the module defines it then all of the specified values will override the defaults.

Shipped defaults

    <add name="RMFD" opacity="1" width="870" height="700" left="4250" top="700" xOffsetStart="903" xOffsetFinish="1576" yOffsetStart="250" yOffsetFinish="900" />
    <add name="HOTAS_KEY" opacity="1" width="1200" height="1000" left="5120" top="360" xOffsetStart="0" xOffsetFinish="3330" yOffsetStart="0" yOffsetFinish="2295"/>

Defined Override in module

<add moduleName="FA-18C" displayName="F/A-18-C Block 20 Hornet"
      filename="FA-18C\DCS FA18C MFD.jpg">
      <Configurations>
        <add name="HOTAS_KEY" filename="FA-18C\DCS FA18C WH.jpg"/>
      </Configurations>
/add>

Notice how RMFD and LMFD are not even specified? That is because they will be automatically added and use the module specified filename-FA-18C\DCS FA18C MFD.jpg.

2. Another feature is the ability to preview the configuration. I will be added a more in depth guide in the next few days but the basics are:

  1. Select the Configuration menu option
    ConfigurationOption

  2. Select Modify
    Modify

  3. The configuration window is displayed
    Display

  4. The highlighted button activates a preview. The buttons that are disabled indicate that Opacity is set to 0 for those so they are unable to be previewed. They also will not be displayed when the module is selected.

  5. The highlighted button now changes to Close. Once you are done with the preview.

  6. If there is a preview error then the log is updated with an error and a message that looks like the below is displayed. In this circumstance the item could not be displayed as this display configuration wouldn't allow it to be seen by the user.
    Configuration Error

3. I am planning on adding the ability to move around the previews and have that configuration saved.
