  • CHANGED #111 menu item "TCAS controlled": Can now also be deactivated to give up AI plane/TCAS control, so another plugin can take over mid-flight.
  • CHANGED #120 #129 how planes are selected for the max 19 AI/TCAS slots: Planes in front have priority over those to the side over those in the back. And planes on the ground have even lower priority if you are airborne.
  • ADDED #143 a power user workaround to run another multiplayer client in parallel with working animations/lights. Requires your local CSL models to be changed by the latest CSL2XSB script. Please see documentation for details.
  • ADDED rotor / propellor / reversers / wheel animations. Requires
    supporting CSL models (many in the Bluebell package work)
    conversion of CSL models with latest CSL2XSB script
    See documentation for details.
  • UPDATED, basically rewrote the documentation page on many multiplayer clients in parallel, like when also using XSquawkBox, X-IvAp, Swift and the like.
  • ADDED #147: RealTraffic now provides a proper timestamp in its tracking data, which LiveTraffic uses for path calculations.
  • Features relevant to other plugins' or CSL model developers:
    • ADDED support for more CSL animation dataRefs.
    • ADDED: All sim/multiplayer/position dataRefs are now provided for AI planes, including v_x/y/z.
    • CHANGED: Position reporting by sim/multiplayer/position is the next drawing cycle's position, which helps camera plugins to stay in synch with focus plane.
    • ADDED #144 shared dataRefs for providing textual information about planes as suggested by FSTramp.
      SEE the Wiki of my libxplanemp fork for more details.
  • CHANGED and ENHANCED #86 communication to LTAPI, which is now an efficient bulk data transfer and includes many text info elements.
  • FIXED #146: If using RealTraffic data, OpenSky Master Data will now always be queried and used if activated (Activation of OpenSky Master Data is always recommended). Previously, for most planes no master data was requested and display relied on RealTraffic's info only.
  • FIXED #139 ADSBEx data will only be processed if in configured range to avoid immediate removal of planes after creation.
  • FIXED #140 identification of network problems with revocation lists on non-English installations of Windows.
  • FIXED #14 Set a timeout of 30s for most network operations to avoid hang-ups when network gets lost.
