xPilot v2.0.0-beta.10

Changelog

Changed

• Allow dot commands to be used in any tab in the client.
• Aircraft type code search results limited to 10 results.
• Changed dynamic audio compressor for AFV and increased output gain.
• Radio volume now exponentially scaled when changed via the sliders or aircraft radio volume knobs.
• Increase X-Plane timeout to 15 seconds.

Fixed

• Frame rate monitoring now disabled if not connected to the network.
• Fix OpenAL linking on non-Windows builds, fixes plugin not loading on macOS.

xPilot v2.0.0-beta.9

Changelog

Added

• xPilot will now play generic aircraft engine sounds for other aircraft (this option can be toggled in the xPilot settings in X-Plane).
• Added PTT indicator to X-Plane (can be toggled in the xPilot settings in X-Plane). If this option is enabled, a green indicator will appear at the top left of the X-Plane window when you press your PTT.
• Added information about how to set PTT in the xPilot settings window.

Fixed

• Set installer to "upgrade" mode if existing installation is detected. This fixes multiple xPilot entries in Programs/Features in Windows. Note: this change does not retroactively remove entries from Programs/Features for previous versions. This change will only work for new versions going forward.
• Fixed path to settings in CSL validity warning message.
• Show error message during CSL model installation if X-Plane folder is not readable.

xPilot v2.0.0-beta.8

Changelog

Added

• The installer will now automatically enable incoming network connections in X-Plane and reset the UDP port to 49000.
• The installer will check if xPilot or X-Plane is running before continuing with the installation.

Changed

• Always show close button on Text Message Console tabs (X-Plane).
• Update inactive tab color on Text Message Console (X-Plane).
• Force keyboard focus on Text Message Console text input box (X-Plane). Note: This change prevents the Text Message Console from being closed via a binded keyboard command, and instead must be closed manually via a mouse click. However, if the Text Message Console is binded via a joystick button, it will open and close as expected.
• Slightly reorganize xPilot Settings window in X-Plane. Update verbiage on some of the settings labels.

Fixed

• Normalize frequency if tuned via controller list. This fixes an issue where radio text messages where sometimes not received. https://forums.vatsim.net/topic/32359-xpilot-audio-chat-only-works-in-certain-channels/
• CSL configuration error hyperlink now points to beta documentation.
• Fixed issue with radios still receiving audio if avionics power was off.

Fixed

• Use statically linked OpenSSL libraries on Windows; fixes TLS initialization errors.
• Requested ATIS text now displayed in X-Plane interface.
• Delete installer file after update.

• Disconnect alert now uses QML popup control type instead of message dialog for UI consistency.
