Our Update: November 9th 2019, product update to version 1.12b
Update Description from Agi: “I have released a new version fixing some minor issues I had with XP 11.40. This actually was intended to be a major update but so far I only got a complete internal restructuring done and some bug fixes, I had to release this now becauce of the final 11.40 release yesterday. I have tested this for some months now and it should be stable but due to the new file structure the older save files are incompatible now and there are some steps to be taken to get an old sync file into the new FTU avoiding the need of reconfiguring everything from scratch.”
Why do you need another tweak and settings script?
I know there are some settings and tweaking tools out there but none of them did satisfy me so I always kept tweaking myself with simple scripts for changing the parameters that really impact performance without sacrificing visual appearance to much. For making this easier and to have the possibility to use different tweaks and settings in different aircraft I wrote the tweak utility. All the settings the utility gives access to have an instant effect without the need of a scenery reload (except the extended DSFs switch, it initiates a reload when clicked) and I think they are more or less self explanatory.

According to Agi “The new FTU 1.12 fixes some minor stuff for XP 11.40 and lots of stuff under the hood, there are no fancy new features this time. Because of the internal restructuring this version was in longer testing for some months now and should be stable but you have to remove the older installation before updating to avoid a mess in the new and clean file structure.
Your save files will get lost but there is a workaround for this:
- With your older FTU version create a sync file if not done already
- Save this file ‘FTU_Sync_Settings.ftu‘ on your desktop and rename it ‘FTU_Sync_Settings.lua‘
- Remove the old FTU installation from your scripts directory
- Install FTU 1.12 into your scripts directory
- Copy ‘FTU_Sync_Settings.lua’ from your desktop into ‘FlyAgi_Tweak_Utility/Userdata/Settings’ folder (create folders if needed)
- Start X-Plane and load the sync file into your aircraft
Changes:
- New modules based file structure
- Modules and save files ending is now .lua instead of .ftu
- Per aircraft save files are now saved based on acf file name instead of ICAO entry (solves conflicts with different aircraft using the same ICAO or none at all)
- All save files are now stored in new ‘userdata’ subfolder
- Changed bird strikes damage logic to only fix bird strike related damages instead of all systems
- Fixed bird strike damage controls not working properly in 11.40
- Fixed static planes setting issues in 11.40
- Increased default static planes lod to 3500
- Added custom throttle command including sensitivity adjustment button in helicopter option menu (usefull if throttle is controled with buttons or keays instead of axes)
- Minor fixes
