AxisAndOhs version 4.55 released

Fri, 03 Oct 2025 17:22:09 GMT

AAO version 4.55 build 26 has been released today. This version is mostly "quality of life". One big item is the new option to load a configuration or a template at any time by clicking on the aircraft name label at the top - even when you are connected to the sim. This makes it easier for example to edit linked templates.

Change: General: added option to load a config or template when connected to the sim
Change: General: added feature to restore a specific automated database backup
Change: General: added option to change the Axis Min/Max of vJoy and ViGEm axis
Change: General: added Checklist Creator dialog to create and compile web/audio checklists more easily
Change: General: the AAO installer program will look for an updated version of vJoy on the computer and makes sure that AAO uses the DLLs from that.
Change: General: Event and Variable selection dialogs will remember the last selected tab
Change: RPN: added (VARSEQ:) AAO command (shortcut for the iseq RPN operator)
Change: RPN: added "irng" operator
Change: RPN: More options to remove the Edition from RPN scripts, deflating the database
Change: RPN: added nonlin{ }map operator
Change: Gauges: added Tag
Change: SaitekPanels: added option to delete unused configurations (those can appear when Windows decides to apply a different GUID to the panel)
Change: SaitekPanels: Saitek panels not automatically set to disabled when they are disconnected
Change: MSFS20/24: Updated MSFS 2020 and 2024 SDK events, variables and SimConnect library dlls
Change: MSFS24: added the new MSFS 2024 flight plan file format (SimBrief export).
Bugfix: Gauges: WebFIPs were not processing Rotation + Shift correctly.
Bugfix: Bring AAO message boxes to the front
Bugfix: joystick value not reset properly when using the filter option, causing a shift of the value range
Bugfix: when split between linked template and current config, fast/slow turn cancel each other out
Bugfix: template merge disregards linked templates, instead it applies all buttons and axis as unique items.
Bugfix: Event selection treelist not setting radio buttons correctly
