V5

Problem seems to affecting Gates, taxi up to a gate and a/c crashes into invisible objects. Starting or taxi to Ramps seems to be unaffected.

...so I'll hold onto the update Preview 23 for the time being. Not much in the update, more under the hood. A few mods to the Assistance window and also a fix for some performance graphs ignoring the lower value zero improves it nicely.

Preview 23 will be uploaded next week because I want to check out P3D v5 Hotfix 2 for a while longer with IFPro.

In Preview 23 there are some bug fixes improvements and additions:

When changing departure location from the Flight Gen page in all versions, the parking listed is not updated until the checkbox is switched or the page reloaded. That's now fixed.

There are several other improvements under the hood in all versions not worth mentioning here but essentially continue improving the way the program works overall.

For IFPro I have included the ability to ignore XML package Aircraft folders so as to avoid massive AI Traffic collections being indexed.

In IFPro and IF10:SE >augmented:

I have included a new page in the information pages which shows the nearby airports with information about the location and runways.

The performance graph was ignoring the lower value set to zero. Also includes some other minor improvements to that system.

I have fixed the Assist window from showing the same runways twice with departure and destinations the same. Also now includes runways selectable in both directions which took over half a day to find just one single character causing the problem.

I have improved the handling of hot keys selecting the throttle manager. Remember that starting the simulator from cold I often wobble a joystick before setting off so the simulator sets up the positions of the controls. This avoids the first press disabling the throttle manager and possibly other functions and addons. That's a normal situation found from FSX through to P3D v1 to v5.

Uploaded P24, P23 had a fault.

[Steve Waite]

In this version IFPro for P3Dv4/5 - in the startup page menu, indexing submenu, find XML Packages. With this window we can disable a package containing for example AI Traffic so that it is not indexed with the aircraft and those AI aircraft will not feature in the IFPro AI traffic page.

There was a non-problematic situation whereby unnecessary folder items were added to the aircraft xml packages list in the new start page aircraft indexing xml packages window. Fixed in Preview 26.
