More than one of us uses a hardware cockpit that cost tens of thousands of euros. Everything should function as realistically as possible.
Nobody wants to use an additional tool to ensure the fuel is properly delivered to the aircraft. That's simply unsightly and spoils the workflow in the cockpit.

But more importantly, your software is now rendering basic functions like FSUIPC unusable for software developers? That can't possibly be your goal. And many of those who use your software still work with P3D!

@Stephan

No, I have absolutely no interest in programming new software for it. Fewer and fewer people are using Prepar3d, so any commercial interest would be completely insane.

I believe I'm not an unknown figure in the FS scene, so I know enough simmers and know that some have already switched to prosim or are in the process of doing so.

For my part, if the problem persists, I won't install any new versions of the Jeehell software and will either accept the remaining bugs or resort to an alternative that continues to support the simulator's standard standards.

It's important to me that my Home Cockpit continues to function smoothly.

I hope you are not trying to teach me what "as real as possible" means, I would really start to get offended.
I am not saying I will destroy most of FSUIPC functions, but yes at some point, to have an "as real as possible" software I will need to cut some ties between P3D/MSFS and my software. First reason being the aerodynamic engines which is shit in all of these.

Regarding your investment, I do not think I forced anyone. Your investment in my software is 0 €. I do not owe any freeware user anything, so do not lecture me, the freeware version actually costs me money to maintain. I rarely complain about it, but I expect others to not complain so loudly.
If you want to buy dedicated software development just for you, that is possible. You can contact me and I will happily provide quotations.
And I will not judge you if you switch to Prosim, everyone finds what is best for themselves.

Regarding "workflow in the cockpit", I believe my current position somewhat knows how this works. And you don't "inject" fuel neither in the real aircraft, nor in an FFS through the performance tool. And real pilots do lose quite a substantial amount of time working with different applications as well.
I suppose you have a computer running topcat, I suppose it has wifi. I do not see how "un manageable" it is to have the WBmanager running on the topcat computer, having the sim idle during your computations, then clicking on 2 buttons on a 2nd app?

I am quite sad. I made that app specifically for YOU, no one else. It's not a big thing, its ugly, I admit, but it was to allow you some easy use while a better fix comes. Now I think I will stop working on that fuel thing altogether, I have far too much work on bigger things.
