We’re back—well, technically, we never left! We've just been hard at work on version 0.1.4, packed with exciting new features. One of the major updates is the addition of a data reference and command manager that automatically pulls in default data and commands from X-Plane 12. No more sifting through text files to find the correct paths—this new manager makes it easier than ever to work with data and commands. You can even add favorites and custom lists, making them easily reusable.
With the release of X-Plane 12.1.1’s new web API, Flight Code-X Studio can now populate position data directly from X-Plane. You can open the IOS map, move the plane, and set scenario start points or object target positions with a single click. Additionally, situation files offer a convenient way to set weather conditions, time of day, and initial parameters. Flight plans can now be imported, providing a backbone of target nodes to build scenarios around.
There’s more! You can now configure units for certain fields, and the interface supports panning, scrolling, and zooming with the mouse. We’re also excited to introduce the first phase of flight analysis: scenarios can now record flight data and node event information. Plus, you can load replay files and run them against your scenarios for further analysis.
As we continue improving Flight Code-X, our goal is to create the best curriculum and scenario-building system possible. Stay tuned—there’s more to come!

We are excited to introduce the latest version of Flight Code-X! We've made several updates to the UI to make it more uniform. You can now use data references as inputs for certain node fields. Additionally, the plane can be moved and placed without reloading the scenario. We've also added a calculation node for basic math operations.
With this release, we are also introducing two new demo scenarios: a simple pylon course and a full game of Tic-Tac-Toe in the skies.

Fixed

• Installer deleting all files in the scenarios directory
• Arrays can be added multiple times to nodes one time for each index position
• Add nodes popping up outside of the canvas area 
• General generation and file structure repair

New

• Aircraft placement now with action node 
• data refs usable as input to node fields 
• simple calculator node 
• tool tips can turn on from view in main menu

v0.1.2-beta is mostly a clean up and bug fix release no new node types, although we have some more that we identified that we need math is lacking, the ability to reposition the aircraft without loading  and the possibility of loading a situation or replay.  This release focused on usability with keyboard shortcuts file operations, copy, paste and organisation. undo/redo, node grouping and locking, and reusable modules are still in progress.  We identified some situations that caused the system to crash and have fixed them as we found them full details below.

Changes

• Adding node keyboard shortcut changed from 'a'  to Shift+a
• Some reconfiguration on simp file struct added id to Commands, Data refs, Sounds, and objects may have to delete and re add to scenario 

New 

• Windows .exes details now Populated
• Studio will validate settings for a scenario prior to generation and provide detail 
• File New,  Open, Save , Save as now have keyboard shortcuts  Ctrl + 'n' | 'o' | 's'     Ctrl + Shift + 's'
• Select all key board shortcut  Ctrl +  'a'
• Copy, past  and cut now work Ctrl + 'c' | 'v' | 'x
• Align and distribute in vertical and horizontal. Align Alt + 'h' | 'v'   distribute horz Alt + 'd'  or virt Alt +Shift + 'd'

Fixes 

• Audio causing a crash on loading scenario if the scenario has ended or has been stopped
• If a location field was set to zero the scenario load would  ignore all settings 
• Clearing names of commands, data refs, sounds or objects crashing studio
• Deleting nodes from the middle of a chain not updating connected node links
• Renaming  or removing commands, data refs, sounds or objects now updates nodes that reference 
• Renaming or removing triggers command nodes update commands that reference  
• Scenario generation and formatting 
• Radio buttons and selection lists not reflecting current settings
• Sanitation of names for generation of scenario scripts
• orphaned nodes execution when a start node is within the scenario
• IDs reuse not getting lowest available
• Node pins not getting properly set after a type change
• Same names causing select and generation issues
• Linux no longer needs to get GLEW and GLFW  packages  
• First Demo Scenario moved from Seattle-Tacoma to Portland to align with X-Plane demo area  

Welcome back. We now have the program signed, with a certificate from a trusted authority. Fixed a few major bugs and added a new node class of monitors. We still have a way to go and have a lot of features planed along with fixing the bugs. we are planing to add a scenario loader, implement keyboard short cuts and usability features copy/paste/undo auto arrange. we also have a few last things to implement from the X-Plane API such as weather and Camera controls.

IMPORTANT!!  Although Flight Code-X is singed and we have been verified by COMODO CA for Extended Validation it is possible that antivirus and windows defender will say it is possibly malicious. This is because the cert is a week old and has not propagated fully. We assure you that as long as the SHA256 sum matches the zip file downloaded and the cert is intact on the installer win.xpl and studio code The code is as intended and we are not  trying to do anything funny.    

In the world of technology, first impressions are everything. With this in mind, we've made the strategic decision to briefly hold the release of Flight Codex. This decision stems from our commitment to excellence and our dedication to ensuring that when you first experience Flight Codex, it is nothing short of remarkable.
