FlySimWare Hardware Binding Tool





=========================== 
CHANGELOG Version 1.8
=========================== 

## [ NEW FEATURES ]

1. Added Cessna 414 support to the Flysimware Hardware Binding Software.

- The Cessna 414 includes several custom aircraft functions that previously required users to manually code bindings or use third-party software.
- These functions are now included directly in the Flysimware Hardware Binding Software, making setup much easier.
- Users can now use the Flysimware binding options for the custom aircraft functions and continue using default simulator bindings for everything else.


## [ IMPROVEMENTS ]

1. Added an automatic update notification.

- When a new version of the Flysimware Hardware Binding Software is available, a pop-up will now appear with a direct download link.
- This allows users to download the latest version directly without needing to search for it manually.

2. Improved the binding button behavior.

- Fixed an issue where users sometimes had to click the binding button twice before the binding would register.
- The binding button now works correctly with a single click.


## [ NOTES ]

1. Removed Lancair Legacy support from the Flysimware Hardware Binding Software.

- The Lancair Legacy does not require any custom hardware bindings.
- All Lancair Legacy controls, including the battery switch, are designed to work with default Microsoft Flight Simulator bindings.
- This was intentional so users would not need extra software for the Lancair Legacy.

CHANGELOG Version 1.7
=========================== 


## [ NEW FEATURES ]

• Added new binding for Gear Horn Test (Up) and Gear Horn Mute (Down) under 3-Way Momentary Switch 5.

• Introduced dedicated Momentary Switch category for switches that support press-and-hold behavior.


## [ IMPROVEMENTS ]

• Updated switch structure:
  Switches 1–3 are classified as 3-Way Position Switches.
  Switches 4–5 are classified as 3-Way Momentary Switches.

• Implemented refined momentary switch logic using -1, 0, 1 values for improved hold behavior and compatibility with simulator templates.

• Improved momentary switch responsiveness to properly support press-and-hold inputs.

• Updated switch labels and descriptions for better clarity and accuracy (Generator, Starter, Emergency Battery, etc.).

• Updated application icon to a joystick design for better distinction from other FlySimWare tools.

• Application now opens in focus on top of other windows during launch for improved visibility.



## [ NOTES ]

• The new 3-Way Momentary Switch 5 (Gear Horn Test / Mute) requires Learjet 35A 2024 version 0.3.1 or higher.

• This requirement applies only when using Switch 5. All other existing bindings remain fully compatible with previous versions.

=========================== 
CHANGELOG Version 1.6
=========================== 


## [ NEW FEATURES ]

• Added support for multiple aircraft within the tool using aircraft tabs.

• Added a manual "Connect to Sim" button allowing users to connect to Microsoft Flight Simulator at any time.

• The tool will now automatically check for a SimConnect connection every 20 seconds if it is not connected.
This allows the program to be started before the simulator without requiring a restart.

## [ IMPROVEMENTS ]

• Added a new splash screen during startup to improve user experience during the initial load.

• The splash screen helps indicate that the program is starting, which is helpful because the first launch
can take longer while the application initializes.

## [ NOTES ]

• The FlySimWare Hardware Binding Tool is now designed to support multiple aircraft going forward.

• Additional aircraft tabs and binding categories will be added over time.
