   REVISION HISTORY

 

   JAN 20, 2007 VERSION 2.00

- Initial release

 

   JAN 25, 2007 VERSION 2.01

- Fixed : Setup, FSForce and Profile Manager were unable to detect the FSX installation folder on some systems.

 

   FEB 25, 2007 VERSION 2.02

- Fixed : nag screen was still displaying even after activation

- Fixed : the gear buffeting effect was not playing after take-off in situations where the user had selected it to be active at all times.

- Fixed : the pavement groove effect was playing during water taxiing (amphibious aircraft).

- Fixed : if the pitot tube iced up, FS Force would read indicated airspeed as zero and set centering forces to zero.  Modifications included detecting pitot tube ice, and if present, computing IAS from true airspeed.

- Feature : Profile Manager now gives the user the choice whether FS Force should "Pause forces on FSX task switch".  This used to be hard coded in the On position. This can be found on the third tab.  Users who are in the habit of undocking secondary view windows (radio stack, etc) and moving them to another monitor should uncheck this option, otherwise forces will cut out when the focus moves to the secondary window.

- Fixed : Profile Manager was not looking in the Rotorcraft folder for new aircraft, and therefore no helicopters were showing up in the list.

 

   SEP 17, 2007 VERSION 2.03
