A link to the download file here in the AVSIM library is posted in the FAQ pinned at the top of this forum. This is a minor update--a full installation of V1.30 and both the V1.31 and 1.32 updates in either/both of FS9/FSX is required prior to installing this update. The update is listed in the library under the "FSX Original Aircraft" category, however it is a universal update for both FSX and FS9.Note: please see this thread for corrections to several typos in the panel.cfg files affecting the marker lights (all panels) and autobrakes (16:10 CIVA-equipped panels) http://forum.avsim.net/topic/332967-errors-in-the-v140-panelcfg-files/Changes in V1.401. Adds Widescreen (16:10 or 16:9) main panel for FS9 and/or FSX2. Adds gear handle with "off" position selectable by clicking on the center of the gear handle area while handle is in gear-up position.3. Adds permanently-visible gear light "christmas tree" (invisible clickspot over the nose gear lights is a shortcut to silence gear horn without need to bring up throttle pedestal window.)4. Adds brake press, hydraulic press, and hyd sys A quantity gauges.5. Adds widened SP-177 autopilot panel with CMD A and B modes modelled and linked to their respective electrical and hydraulic sources (no dual cmd mode)6. Adds right-side caution warning six-pack annunciator to glareshield. Clicking on either annunciator performs recall function for both sides.7. Improvement in engine start coding to eliminate sound of engine surging and overspeeding during light-off.8. Fixes bug that caused ground-spoilers to retract uncommanded during landing rollout.==============================================================The Version 1.32 update to the freeware TinMouse II B737-200 was released on 7 Jan 2011. Links to the download file here in the AVSIM library are posted in the FAQ pinned at the top of this forum. This is a minor update--a full installation of V1.30 and the V1.31 update in either/both of FS9/FSX is required prior to installing this update. The update is listed in the library under FSX Original Aircraft category, however it is a universal update for both FSX and FS9. Changes in V1.321. Fixes a bug (FSX-only) that causes the panel to lose communication with FSUIPC if the panel is resized or switched between full-screen and windowed mode. This appeared as frozen airspeed/DME indications, as well as other unhappy side effects.2. Fixes a bug that could cause skipped digits on the SP-177 MCP's airspeed or mach command windows.3. Improved digit rollover behavior for the tens/hundreds digits on the HSI distance window.4. Fixes a bug in APD logic when performing VOR course intercepts.5. Corrected TM.ini file--same as V1.31, with corrected comments on proper placement of the file in the FS9/FSX root directory.==============================================================The Version 1.31 update to the freeware TinMouse II B737-200 was released on 31 Dec 2010. Links to the download file here in the AVSIM library are posted in the FAQ pinned at the top of this forum.This is a minor update--a full installation of V1.30 in either/both of FS9/FSX is required prior to installing this update. The update is listed under FS2004 Original Aircraft, however it is a universal update for both FSX and FS9.Changes in V1.311. All confirmed bugs from V1.30 have been fixed.2. Addition of an optional TM.ini configuration file which allows management of sound volumes, startup configuration, andaircraft equipment configuration.3. Significant re-work of caution warning system, addition of a sixpack indication of a warning light on ovhd panel.4. Mouse wheel controls have been added to nearly all the knobs on the panel5. Clickspot to toggle the AES window on/off if at an AES enhanced airport.6. Numerous other minor changes, added sounds, enhanced A/P and press system logic, etc.==============================================================Version 1.30 of the freeware TinMouse II was released on 20 Dec 2010. Links to the download files here in the AVSIM library are posted in the FAQ pinned at the top of this forum.This is a major update, and no previous versions of the add-on are needed for installation from the package. Those using previous versions will still be able to use their repaints--in both FS9 and in FSX as well.There are separate packages for FS9 and FSX, and crossover instructions in each package for those who want both. For those intending to install in both sim versions, download either package and see the readme for cross-install instructions.Changes in V1.301. FSX Compatibility. This is the first release of the TinMouse II for FSX.2. Addition of a fully-integrated Sperry SP-177 advanced autopilot and autothrottle system.3. New ADI and flight director.4. Go-Around mode implemented.5. New FSUIPC offset controls for joystick or key-mapped autopilot and autothrottle disconnect, and go-around mode.6. Radar transponder interoperability with both Squawkbox 3 (FS9) and Squawkbox 4 (FSX)7. Eliminated need for FSUIPC offset commands for flaps, speed brakes, and wheel brakes. The FSUIPC-offsets still work, and are still the best way to get proper system operation unfettered by incorrect FS logic.8. Fire handle and fire extinguisher bottles implemented.9. Numerous improvements for mouse-wheel operation of knobs throughout the panel.10. Ground air cart implemented11. Integration with the FSCaptain add-on==============================================================Version 1.26 (gauge update only) is available for download in the AVSIM library.A link to the file will be posted in the FAQ pinned at the top of this forum.Installation of V1.25 of the TinMouse II is required prior to applying this update.

Fixed a bug that caused a disorderly restart of the panel if FS was switched to/from full screenand windowed mode (or in some cases if a panel was resized).2. Corrected radio altimeter indications to show 0 on the ground (was showing ~7 ft)3. Fixed a bug that caused pneumatic pressure to read negative value if the AC packs were switchedon with no air source.==============================================================Version 1.25 release of the freeware TinMouse II (full installation package) is available for download here in the AVSIM library. A link to the file is posted in the FAQ pinned at the top of this forum.This version update is a standalone self-contained complete archive of the Tinmouse II package.
