Updated for V0.72  - Feature Update

- RERUN the included FacilityDataLoader !!! as some issues have been fixed

- Install WASM module Vx.8 for 2020 and/or 2024 if not done so

Re MSFS2024:

This addon also provides a native MSFS2024 WASM module and it adds the ability to load streamed facilities from MSFS2024 to enhance GPS waypoint tracking where the native aircraft does not synch properly with the Sim GPS and to provide base data for the flight bag.

Please see the Quickguide for more installation and data capturing information.

Due to shorcomings (logged as bugs with Asobo) the capturing process is not flawless and it takes about 15 Minutes - be patient.

You need to install the WASM module in the 2024 Community folder in order to access most interactions.
Some aircraft modules have been crafted others may or may not work - too many to test and review (sorry)
Please let me know if you encounter issues in order to improve the addon.

HudBar updates:

• Add FS2024 native WASM module (V4.x for FS2024)
• Add FS2024 facility data capturing
• Add Ball, Slip indicator graph item
• Add Collective Handle Position
• Add Sim EFB Planned Route decoding for FS2024 (preliminary due to issues in EFB export)
• Add Pull Sim EFB Planned Route as Flight Plan for FS2024
• Add Export/Import of individual Profiles in Config (context menu)
• Fix CameraControl cannot read saved slots when the locale decimal sign is not a decimal point
• Fix HudBar cannot read user fonts when the locale decimal sign is not a decimal point
• Fix HudBar Exception if Active Background color is set to transparent

Flightbag Update

• Update To select only Airports with Helipads in FlightBag-Config Runways
• Update Stamen 3D Terrain default URL extended with parameter {r}
• Fix MapProvider for Stamen sometimes not having the key read properly

- The Flightbag, Camera Control and Checklist Box are available as part of HudBar as before, however those are also provided as independent Apps from this version onwards.

You may find the following 4 Apps in the App folder:

• ·         FS20_HudBar.exe               The HudBar App (as we had it before)
• ·         FS20_FlightBag.exe            The FlightBag can now be run on its own if this is helpful
• ·         FS20_CamControl.exe       The CamControl can now be run on its own if this is helpful
• ·         FS20_ChecklistBox.exe     The ChecklistBox can now be run on its own if this is helpful

The 3 additions are exactly the same as the ones you use from the HudBar and share the same settings – however they are, when run on their own, no longer controlled by the HudBar HotKeys but will also not close when the HudBar is closed.

Due to the split the Manuals are also split for the 4 different Apps – you will find them in the App folder as well.

- Due to license restrictions the Airports will no longer be provided as part of the HudBar App but there is a companion App which allows to collect the data needed for the Map and some other functionality from your Sim installation,  see ‘DataLoader’ for more information.
You will get a PopUp Message when starting the HudBar if the database cannot be found.

Old News
The occasional stutter when saving FLT files for backup or Flightplan is still there

NOTE: New items are default OFF
- Updated the QuickGuides - it is included in the package, check it out and look for V0.72 tagged updates

Also - pls let me know (may be via Github) when something fails, pls. include as much information as possible.

Find all added items at the end of each panel in Configuration, adjust as needed.

• Provides 10 different content profiles which are fully configurable
• The pilot can directly activate Autopilot commands
• Auto Elevator Trim on a click
• Bottom Bars work best with wide screen monitors
• AutoSave of the Flight (FLT file) at 5 Min intervals
• Flight Recording to KML File

Usage 

• Deploy the release zip content in a folder (no installer provided or needed)

Start MSFS - wait until the main screen is shown

Then Start FS20_HudBar.exe  it will connect once the Sim is up and running  
Note: the shown values are a bit meaningless until the aircraft is live   
Also note that the bar is shown on the ++PRIMARY monitor++ at the bottom of the screen   

If you are using it the first time, all items except for the MSFS status are unchecked i.e. no further items are shown in the default bar at the bottom of the screen.
– just head straight to the Configuration and check the ones you like (right click the bar – Configure...)!

Right Click the Bar and choose from the pop up menu

• To select a Profile (1..10)
• To Configure.. to check or uncheck the items to be shown
• To Exit and stop the program

Please take a look into the include Quick Guide for more information
