1.4.2020.0226 Release


Huge "Shout out" to derammo who was this release's primary contributor. 1.4.2020.0226 benefits from his many improvements and bugfixes.

  • BMS F-16 - Altimeter fixes
    Added altimeter pressure reading
    fix for _airPressureDrum.Value only can accept 4 digits
    Added Altimeter Calibration reading from FlightData2
    Support barometric readings of altitude and pressure
    Use math.abs to get absolute value
    Read values from flightData2 to support barometric altitude and calibrated airpressure
  • Keyboard Interface changes
    Bug relating to sending keys "RETURN" and "ENTER" fixed. Both of these now send the ENTER key on
    the right of the main keyboard. New "NUMPADENTER" sends the Enter key on the numeric keypad.
    This potentially needs profiles sending "RETURN" which previously activated the numeric pad enter
    to be changed to send "NUMPADENTER" instead #178
    New feature to force QWERTY keyboard keycodes to be sent to programs (such as BMS) which only
    understand keycodes and not keystrokes. #164

  • Fix for ArgumentOutOfRangeException on HeliosTextBox #158
  • Installer changes to re-req the Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable Runtime.
