The Key2Mouse tool v1.03 maps user-defined keystrokes to mouse actions, enabling programmable controllers to operate software that accepts mouse input for simulated instruments. Developed for a flight simulator but may run in other sims or games, it operates in demo mode with a limit of three macros for ten minutes per session.
By Jofre Palau, this version for AirTrack adds support for speeds limits, flight director bars in the PDF, and a VAS selector, while resolving a plane-switching bug. The installer modifies the default gauges file at .../Gauges/MiniPanel.cfg, creating MiniPanel.bak; removing the component with the uninstaller restores that backup.
A utility stores target processes to terminate in an app.config list for centralized handling and quick reference. When Kill Processes runs, all listed entries are targeted for termination, and the package ships with a blank app.config.

FSDSxTweak works with FSDS 3.5.1 to apply bump mapping, VC dynamic shadows, environment mapping, and external and VC cameras, along with automatically computed gear compression and fuel tank placement. Version 2.4 adds bug fixes, bloom and material-color tweaks, plus fsdsxtweak_plugin with build scripts and Modeldef_Edit for animation dictionaries.

By Don Grovestine, FenceBuilder PRO serves as a versatile object placer that loads models from library files and applies effects, including sounds, while supporting user-created models from Gmax without XML. A single operation places one or more rows of objects, and the demo mirrors the full version except for the segment limit, using FenceBuilderPRO Demo.exe.

A freeware installer provides a universal alias capability that lets AI traffic use Traffic_Sounds, a stand-alone program featuring up to 25 fully interactive and directional sounds. A main Traffic_sound Folder must be present for operation.

A configuration tool operates on the aircraft.cfg file, enabling changes to parameters and, through AircraftTweakUI, installation and removal of visual modifications on your system. The latest version improves the source-reading algorithm during installations and adds a command to list all installed aircraft, plus commands to create and apply binary patches, by Dave Nunez.

By geniXSoft, this traffic-file generator creates outputs for an AI spotter workflow, enabling integration with an external airline-traffic data service, while leveraging a data-access model described as having very small retrieval fees. The approach uses external data sources and keeps fees minimal.

By Alexander Brand, the utility edits the module configuration files exe.xml and dll.xml, requiring the .NET 2.0 framework. Version 0.4, dated 7 February 2008, fixes saving issues tied to file formats and addresses problems with the Explorer Bar.

TweakFS Zip operates as a stand-alone utility that unpacks and creates zip archives without a third-party program, and it presents a graphical tree view of the folder structure. It auto-detects the target folder location, offers preset destinations, and can add comments to Zip files.

An adaptable utility that converts user-defined keypresses into mouse actions or keystrokes and transmits them to remote computers on a network, enabling control of software running on linked PCs. In demo mode it supports up to three macros for ten minutes per session, and is credited to Luciano Napolitano.

By Eugene Motorny, this trio of modules comprises a GUI multifunction component, a chart viewer gauge named EQgauges.dll, and a control input handler EQmodule.dll that implements GhostMouse. EQmodule.dll serves as the GhostMouse driver, enabling input mapping and additional tricks for cockpit controls.

Documentation notes problems with the PicNic interface and points to the PICNIC10.ZIP file, authored by Leclercq Aime, for guidance. A visual capture accompanies the page, illustrating the PicNic interface and offering a reference to its layout.

Five custom utilities enable hundreds of configuration tweaks, with trial versions remaining fully functional for 30 days and a built-in one-click restore function that reverts any changes, plus 120 DPI large-font support, all created by Fermin Fernandez.
The utility builds new flight plans, converts legacy Ttools plans to current compatibility, and edits, deletes, or adds to existing plans while creating auto plans using selected aircraft and airports. It requires .NET Framework 3.5 and a Deluxe edition with the SDK installed, by Frank Salter.
Charlie McCormack authors a utility that creates rewards files with multiple sections and criteria, using XML definitions that structure reward data, a move born from frustration with manual XML editing. The decompiler code comes from lc0277.

Version 2.1 brings a zoom feature controlled in the ini file, enabling a toggle between 100% view and the zoom factor via the menu bar. The package separates server and client components, including YAMM_server_v-2.0.exe with SimConnect.dll and ini_serv_file.xml, and YAMM_client_v-2.1.exe with YAMM_client_v-2.1.ini, plus maps such as los_angeles.jpg and KSFO.jpg.
Public-domain tool rwd2xml decompiles and extracts bitmaps from RWD files. It generates a source XML that can be recompiled to recreate the original file without loss, and it is Public Domain for archival purposes worldwide.
By Doug Dawson, the gauge detects repeating Key_Events that disrupt normal panel operation. Symptoms include an inability to select a second exit or second engine, and autopilot controls that increment Course and Heading by 10 rather than 1, with Altitude Select rising by 1000 instead of 100; it does not identify the source gauge.
PatchThe V1.3 executable delivers a simple GUI workflow for mission developers to enter a reward title, description, and type, and it generates a GUID during the process. It compiles the inputs into a .RWD file and creates an XML backup that stores the GUID, with Daniel Metien credited as the creator.
