## QoL Improvements
- New system tray implementation (see manual)
- TelemFFB can now be sent to system tray on startup and/or close button. Window can be recalled by double-clicking the tray icon or from the icon right-click context menu
- System tray icon color indicates simulator run/pause/error state like the existing status icons
- Configuration errors (such as enabling MSFS force trim and having no binding configured) now present the error message in the UI, and generate a system tray notification for easier recognition of the issue.
- Real-time settings usability improvements
- Values update in near real-time when manipulating sliders
- Manipulating sliders no longer causes a form re-load
- -/+ buttons added to left/right of slider for single step adjustments
- Shift+Scroll wheel or left/right up/down arrow keys while hovering mouse of the slider is also supported
- Minor UI overhaul
- Look and feel updates with on/off sliders in lieu of checkboxes and improved icons.
## General
- Configurator effect slider overrides (see manual)
- Now you can directly modify, in real-time, the slider gain setting for any of the effect types *without* creating and pushing a separate vpconf file
- Can be overridden on a per Sim/Aircraft Class/Specific Aircraft basis
- Minor enhancement to gear and canopy movement effects. You will feel a bump/clunk when the gear fully extend/retract or when the canopy (when applicable) closes
## MSFS
- Improved/Simplified settings for adjusting dynamic spring forces (see manual)
- Prior "Gain" setting is removed and the "Max Force" setting is now affixed to the aircraft "Vne" speed (learned via telemetry) while maintaining true dynamic forces based on aerodynamic conditions.
- "Expo" adjustment to adjust the rate at which the force falls off at low speeds.
- RTFM for the best experience using these new settings.
## DCS
- Added tail-hook movement effect (supported on a/c with tailhooks)
- Added wing-fold effect (F/A-18, F-14)
- Added fuel-boom effect (supported on all a/c with fuel boom/door)
- Added Co-Pilot/RIO Spring Override feature
- Can temporarily override/disable spring force when user has moved away from pilots seat. Optionally can bind a button that must also be held down.
- Note that seat data is not available at this time for some aircraft (like the F-4E).
