- If AIAE started in a non aircraft folder, 'Tools' menu operations like 'Delete keys', 'Format aircraft.cfg', 'Remove all comments' etc were enabled, leading to a crash when selected
Version 3.0.91
Changes:
- re-introduced feature from V.2 that the comment separator can be selectable to be either '//' or ';'
- re-introduced feature from V.2 that the comment column can be freely selected between col 50 and col 200

Fixes:
Version 3.0.90
Changes:
Fixes:
- Corrected the path pointing to the manual which is '..\Manual' but was looking for '..\Manuals'
Version 3.0.89
Changes:
Fixes:
- Fixed that for the "Delete keys" option the aircraft.cfg backup name still followed the old naming convention
Version 3.0.88
Changes:
- Naming convention for aircraft.cfg backup files changed from 'aircraft.cfg.owl.yyyy-mm-dd-hh-mm-ss' to 'aircraft.cfg.yyyy-mm-dd-hh-mm-ss.owl'. This way the '.owl' extension can be assigned to the text editor.
Fixes:
- Fixed bug that after 'Format aircraft.cfg' and 'Remove all comments' the change & save would cause another [fltsim.0] section to be created
Version 3.0.86
Changes:
Fixes:
- Fixed bug that after 'Renumber Sections' the datagrid was not updated to reflect the changes
- Fixed bug that the airfile (sim=) listbox was not correctly preselected when the *.air filename was all uppercase
Version 3.0.85
Changes:
- The update check component now tells you if you have the most current Versioninstead of just doing nothing
Fixes:
- Fixed bug in 'Remove comments' which did not remove comments following a ";" delimiter
Version 3.0.84
Changes:
- Added an Installer and activated the internal update check
Fixes:
- Fixed bug where long description keys caused a crash on save

Version 3.0.83
Changes:
- Log file no longer written below program folder but in %appdata% --> Roaming
- Added in menu 'File' --> 'Log-Files...'. Here you can view and delete Log-Files
- A new Log-File is automatically used once the last one reaches 2.5 MB. The old one is archived
- Added Delete button to each row of the texture datagrid. Guess what it is doing.....
- Added new setting 'Confirm texture deletion' to the 'Settings' menu
Fixes:
- delete aircraft.cfg backups was not deleting anything -> fixed
Version 3.0.81
Changes:
- The Texture Grid has now a label showing how many textures are currently displayed

Version 3.0.80
Changes:
Fixes:
- The newly added texture path status bar in the Texture Viewer was layered above the texture -> fixed
- I missed to add deep-structured folder support for the default "model" folder -> fixed
Version 3.0.79
Changes:
Fixes:
- Selecting a new aircraft in the grid with non-existing texture while ModelViewer is opened resulted in system error message à fixed
- If the texture path displayed in the status line of the Texture Viewer was longer than the available space it was not displayed at all à fixed
- AIAE offered senseless options and wrong messages when confronted with an aircraft.cfg not containing any [fltsim.x] sections à fixed
Version 3.0.78
Changes:
- Detection of duplicate keys in [fltsim.x] sections. The section and the key are provided in the error log.
- You now see the full texture name and path in the status bar of the Texture Viewer
- The option to define the external Graphics Editor has been added to the main form settings menu
- If the Graphics Editor is defined and available you can start it directly from the texture list without the need to open the internal texture viewer beforehand
- If you have the Texture Viewer open, selecting another texture in the texture list grid will automatically display it
Fixes:
- The number of the [fltsim.x] section for missing and duplicated titles, models, textures and sims were not correct --> fixed
Version 3.0.72
Changes:
Fixes:
- fixed some bugs too technical to describe here that would have caused crashes or cosmetic issues under rare conditions
Version 3.0. 71
Changes:
- You can define your default graphic editor (e.g. DXT2BMP) in the texture viewer and start it directly from AIAE
- Various performance optimizations
- Removal of the progress bar, replaced with splash loading indicator
- Added awareness about defined but non-existing textures which I managed to forgot so far
- Texture list...selecting a section in the grid ready the associated texture files when the texture tab has the focus. You can still load all textures for this aircraft with the respective button.
Fixes:
- fixed bug where the program crashed when a file model.txt exists in the aircraft root
- fixed bug where the program crashed when a file texture.txt exists in the aircraft root
- fixed die-hard PDF Viewer bug causing crash during program start
- very observant people have noticed: the Model Viewer has since its very first incorporation into AIAE sometimes shown the wrong texture. Now I finally have the very complex steering mechanism 100% under control. It is now working flawless no matter
if in the tab or external
- fixed cosmetic bug in the log when unknown models (pre-2004) were read
- fixed some bugs too technical to describe here
