Updated for V0.69 - Bugfix
V 0.69 fixes the startup issue with the recent update 0.68 - Should work now again ... appologies for the inconvenience..
Updated for V0.68 - Feature Update
- RERUN the included FacilityDataLoader !!! as it requires a new database.
- CHECK MapLibProvider.ini and QuickGuide to enable FAA charts again (Chartbundle became obsolete)
- Added Landing graphics with data (tooltip on MSFS label)
- New HudBar Placement 'TopStacked' where Label and Value are stacked instead of lined up
- Added per profile Background image
- Added per profile Padding (Border) around the HudBar window
- Added per profile definition of Colors and Fonts
- Updated Configuration dialog handling (visit Quickguide if in doubt)
- Updated ColorPicker in Config with custom dialog
- Trim values now get a warning background if >90% or <-90%
- Recording of some more data from landings
- Landing records are stored even without using FlightBag (new version V3 file)
- Improved aircraft properties via LVARs incl. B787, B747, Fenix A320 V2 and others
Flight Bag feature update
- Other aircraft display in Flight Bag (Enable in Config tab)
Shows AI aircrafts from various sources within 60nm range - New 'Radar' View map display - tracking map feature
- Added Coordinate window
- Added Teleport feature
- The Flightbag, Camera Control and Checklist Box are available as part of HudBar as before, however those are also provided as independent Apps from this version onwards.
You may find the following 4 Apps in the App folder:
- · FS20_HudBar.exe The HudBar App (as we had it before)
- · FS20_FlightBag.exe The FlightBag can now be run on its own if this is helpful
- · FS20_CamControl.exe The CamControl can now be run on its own if this is helpful
- · FS20_ChecklistBox.exe The ChecklistBox can now be run on its own if this is helpful
The 3 additions are exactly the same as the ones you use from the HudBar and share the same settings – however they are, when run on their own, no longer controlled by the HudBar HotKeys but will also not close when the HudBar is closed.
Due to the split the Manuals are also split for the 4 different Apps – you will find them in the App folder as well.
- The extension for the G1000Nxi (zWTnxi-0.12.2-gps-synch-fix-V__) is no longer provided, WT included part of the suggestions (some are not yet completely working…) – so the mod is no longer really needed - pls. remove it if used.
- You will find a new Sim module which allows to gather more and aircraft/instrument specific values from the Sim than before.
The module is provided as Zip file: BM98CH_DataConnector_Wasm-Vx.y.zip (version will change when updated)
This module needs to be unzipped and placed into the Community folder as any other Sim extension (it will reside there as ’BM98CH_DataConnector_Wasm’ folder).
The HudBar will run without this additional module – however some of the items cannot be set
Among others the module allows to have the VNAV button working for the G1000Nxi and the WTG3000 mod.
- Due to license restrictions the Airports will no longer be provided as part of the HudBar App but there is a companion App which allows to collect the data needed for the Map and some other functionality from your Sim installation, see ‘DataLoader’ for more information.
You will get a PopUp Message when starting the HudBar if the database cannot be found.
Old News
The occasional stutter when saving FLT files for backup or Flightplan is still there in SU12+
NOTE: New items are default OFF
- Updated the QuickGuides - it is included in the package, check it out and look for V0.68 tagged updates
Also - pls let me know (may be via Github) when something fails, pls. include as much information as possible.
Find all added items at the end of each panel in Configuration, adjust as needed.
Configurable display for more than 100 essential Information items as Bar, Tile or Window
- Supports 1 to 4 engine aircrafts (Prop/Engine RPM, FuelFlow for each)
- Provides 10 different content profiles which are fully configurable
- The pilot can directly activate Autopilot commands
- Auto Elevator Trim on a click
- Bottom Bars work best with wide screen monitors
- AutoSave of the Flight (FLT file) at 5 Min intervals
- Flight Recording to KML File
- Checklist Box (configurable)
Usage
- Deploy the release zip content in a folder (no installer provided or needed)
Start MSFS2020 - wait until the main screen is shown
Then Start FS20_HudBar.exe it will connect once the Sim is up and running
Note: the shown values are a bit meaningless until the aircraft is live
Also note that the bar is shown on the ++PRIMARY monitor++ at the bottom of the screen
If you are using it the first time, all items except for the MSFS status are unchecked i.e. no further items are shown in the default bar at the bottom of the screen.
– just head straight to the Configuration and check the ones you like (right click the bar – Configure...)!
Right Click the Bar and choose from the pop up menu
- To select a Profile (1..10)
- To Configure.. to check or uncheck the items to be shown
- To Exit and stop the program
Please take a look into the include Quick Guide for more information

Is it possible in the future to have Custom Airspeed & Altitude warnings, Read-outs or Leds . So we could set, say @ 10.000 ft, give a notification on that. Or if / when the speed goes past a certain setting, you get notified in som way!
Just an idea because I often forget stuff! 😊
Anyways, Thanks for super-great Utility!

ich kann Dir mitteilen, dass mit der Sim-Rate ALLES IN ORDNUNG IST. Es dürfte an seltsam-unzuverlässigen Verbindungen mit dem MSFS-Server gelegen haben. Bitte verzeih mir , dass ich Dich so oft gequält habe! Jetzt werde ich Dich auf ein Bierchen einladen 😊
Ich grüße Dich herzlich aus dem (leider erfolgreich globalisierten) Ösireich, Dein Laszlo

I was looking into how to get at least the data from the Sim and it seems feasible.
It is may be an indea to add to the Map?!

Ich fliege soeben mit der FBW-A320 und leider spinnt die Einstellung der SIMRATE total: Wenn der Wechsel der Simrate z.B. von 1x auf 2x, oder von 1x auf 0,5-Simrate überhaupt reagiert (auf das Mau-Rad), dann nach unzähligen Versuchen "nur zufällig"... - Wenn ich nur wüsste, was ich falsch mache!!
Was ist der Trick, damit es funktioniert?
ich habe viel herumgetan, aber eigentlich funktioniert es nicht.
Für einen neuerlichen Rat wäre ÄUSSERST DANKBAR!
Grüsse, Llaszlo

Bitte eine Frage zur Sprachausgabe:
Leider sind die CALL OUT ein Kauderwelsch aus gemischtem Englisch und Deutsch: So höre ich z.B. statt Parking Brake released" in richtiger englischer Aussprache den Blödsin "Parking BRAHKE released". Und statt "Glideslope" GLIEDES LAND HOFE".
Was kann man da tun, um die richtige englische Aussprache der Wörter zu bekommen??
ENGLISH:
Refering the Call outs, i have got a question and I am asking for advice:
Instead of "Parking Brake released", the system is saying "Parking BRAHK - A released. And instead of announcing "Glideslope" in correct english, it says "GLEEDES LAHND HOHF - A" with mixing up English and german.
I already have tried much, but I can not get rid of that wrong bullshit-pronounciation.
WHAT COULD I DO??
