Download from http://www.opussoftware.co.uk/opusfsi/downloads.htm Using the link http://www.opussoftware.co.uk/opusfsi/OpusMSFS.msi Release version. Added the 'Enable In-Flight Map Traffic' and associated 'Traffic Radius' options to the Configuration settings ready for the In-Flight Map Traffic upgrade. The 'Shortcut Controls' option on the FSISERVER's main form now remains greyed out until a SimConnect connection has been made with the MSFS simulator and the button and key events have been enabled. Added the following Shortcut Control options, In-Flight Map Zoom In In-Flight Map Zoom Out Toggle In-Flight Map Traffic The 'Toggle In-Flight Map Traffic' option has no function at present but is included ready for the In-Flight Map Traffic upgrade. When implemented this option will also depend on the 'Enable In-Flight Map Traffic' and associated 'Traffic Radius' Configuration settings. If you assign an already used button or key to a Shortcut Control you will now hear and double exclamation plus bleep sound. In such circumstances the previously assigned button or key is automatically deleted in favour of the new assignment. N.B. All joystick button and keyboard events from the simulator are only enabled when the MSFS flight is loaded and you have clicked on 'Ready To Fly'. Regards Stephen ![]() |

OpusMSFS Beta Version 1.04.0 is now available for download on our website.
Download from http://www.opussoftware.co.uk/opusfsi/downloads.htm Added 'Test Speed' option to Live View Test. Disabled the Landing Rate Monitor (Analysis) Popup display during Live View Tests on the server. Added live traffic to the In-Flight Map. Traffic can be overlayed on the map by either setting the 'Show Traffic' map option or using the 'Toggle In-Flight Map Traffic' Shortcut Control option. The display of live traffic is also dependent on the 'Enable In-Flight Map Traffic' and associated 'Traffic Radius' Configuration settings. N.B. The requested 'Traffic Radius' is presently ignored by the MSFS simulator. It is left an option just in case MS/Asobo correct the omission. All traffic overlayed on the In-Flight Map is depicted using an appropriate Jet, Piston, or Rotorcraft symbol. The symbol also reflects the current heading of the traffic and is colour coded. Traffic depicted in Grey refer to traffic currently parked up on the ground or taxiing. Traffic depicted in Green are airborne. Traffic depicted in Red are airborne and within 2000 feet of your current altitude, hence, may pose a threat. Hovering the mouse cursor over an aircraft symbol on the map will display information about the traffic. For example, aircraft ID, type, model, airline, flight number, current altitude in feet and airspeed in knots. Regards Stephen ![]() |

Download from http://www.opussoftware.co.uk/opusfsi/downloads.htm Using the link http://www.opussoftware.co.uk/opusfsi/OpusMSFS.msi Release version. Improved the live traffic display and general handling of the In-Flight Map. Distinguished between parked and taxiing aircraft on the In-Flight Map. The following colour codes are now used for traffic symbols on the map. Traffic depicted in GREY are static and parked. Traffic depicted in WHITE are moving or taxiing. Traffic depicted in GREEN are airborne and no threat (separated by greater than 2000 feet). Traffic depicted in RED are airborne and a threat (within 2000 feet of your present altitude). N.B. The 'Shortcut Controls' and 'Toggle Map' buttons become active only after the FSISERVER has established a connection with the MSFS simulator via SimConnect. If 'In-Flight Map Traffic' is enabled in the FSISERVER Configuration settings then the 'Toggle Map' button will remain greyed out until the traffic data has been fully initialise.

Download from http://www.opussoftware.co.uk/opusfsi/downloads.htm Using the link http://www.opussoftware.co.uk/opusfsi/OpusFSI_v6140_Beta.msi Validated and imposed acceptable limits for the reported (SimConnect) y-axis and z-axis body acceleration data. Previous versions can occasionally attempt to process garbage values for this reported data. These erroneous values reported by the P3D simulator could cause maths exceptions to occur within the DHM threads. All such exceptions are now trapped and processed by the program, the server program reporting all such exceptions via the Spy window. Regards Stephen ![]() |

OpusFSI Beta Version 6.14.2 is now available for download on our website.
Download from http://www.opussoftware.co.uk/opusfsi/downloads.htm Using the link http://www.opussoftware.co.uk/opusfsi/OpusFSI_v6142_Beta.msi The DHM status is now reported in the main Spy window each time the window is opened (apart from if opened before establishing a connection to the simulator). If Live Camera is Disabled and General DHM Enabled the report will look something similar to, GEN DHM Enabled DHM Thread ACTIVE and Running DOF Thread ON GEN View 0 Camera N/A Turbulence 0 Throttle 2456 With Live Camera Enabled and a valid camera view selected the report will look something like, GEN DHM Enabled DHM Thread ACTIVE and Running DOF Thread ON GEN View 0 Camera 4, Legacy - Captain Turbulence 0 Throttle 0 Note, the DOF Thread is only activated when DHM needs to adjust the eye point. In addition to the above the system will detect and report in the Spy window all changes to the DHM and DOF Thread status. This can be tested simply using the simulator's Add-On Menu. Select OpusFSI Open Spy Window to display the main Spy window, then use the OpusFSI Head Movements -> Disable abd Enable DHM options. Each change to the DHM status should be reported in the Spy window. If required you can leave the Spy window open during flight in which case you may find it helpful to set the Spy Opacity to 70 percent in the Spy window's Options. Regards Stephen ![]() |

Hovering over an aerodrome marker will display the airport's key information, including it's ICAO code, Name, Elevation in feet, all available Runways, and all relevant COM frequencies. Each COM frequency is displayed in the form <code><freq>. The following codes and display formats are employed, I = ILS I<runway>:<freq> A = APPROACH A<freq> T = TOWER T<freq> G = GROUND G<freq> C = COM C<freq> S = ATIS S<freq> Support will be added for the PLN (Flight Plan), MET (Met Station), AIR (Airway), NAV (Navaid), and WPT (Waypoint) marker options. Eventually weather reports will be added to the displayed Met Station (MET) markers. Regards Stephen ![]() ![]() |

2. Including METAR data within the tooltips for the displayed met station (MET) markers. 3. Displaying the specified airway (AIR) path and associated intersection points on the map. The airway path and points will be displayed similar to the flight plan route and points using different colours to differentiate. A displayed flight plan will always be display over the top of any displayed airway. Regards Stephen ![]() |
