Version 2.5.0-b1

Beta version: Command history, watch window, dataref & command sources, spanish translation, better logging

Published 2025-02-14

Beta software

This version has been released for testing purposes, and while I think it's feature complete, I am still working to fix a number of issues before final release of version 2.5.0 in a month or so.

Known issues

• Keyboard shortcuts don't work
• Commands are not detected by cH mode in the search window
• When limiting the scan rate, the actual scan rate is approximately double the requested rate
• Scroll bar is not proportional

What's new?

Version 2.5.0 has a number of goals / major changes:

• The new command history shows what commands have been activated and when.
• The watch window is an easy way to keep an eye on specific datarefs, without keeping a search window open
• Dataref and command detail windows now show where they are used or referenced, including files, key bindings, and more.
• UI is now available in Spanish as well as English.
• Updated logging shows what files DRT is scanning.
• X-Plane 11 support has been removed to simplify code.

Changes

• Improvement: The Log.txt file shows how DRT scans. Additional detail can be found by turning on 'debug' mode, and huge volumes by turning on 'tracing' on the debug menu.
• Feature: The command history shows commands events as they happen. This is a separate window from the search window.
• Improvement: Scan Lua files that would be run by FlyWithLua, no matter what folder they are installed in (by detecting the plugin itself)
• Change: X-Plane 11 is no longer supported
