Introduction

This update is for SuperTrafficBoard (STB) V3.0, V3.1 or V3.2 and will upgrade your installation to the latest level (V3.2.1.15).  It can be used with the following simulators:

•         Microsoft Flight Simulator (FSX);

•         Flight Simulator X Steam Edition Standalone.  (“Standalone” means FSX Steam Edition is not installed on the same computer as Microsoft FSX).

Note this update cannot be used for:

•         STB for Prepar3D;

•         Any other versions of STB for FSX;

•         Systems where both FSX and FSX Steam Edition are installed on the same computer.  This is called a “side by side” configuration and is no longer supported.

 

Changes

Version 3.2.1.15 includes all previous updates, and also addresses the following areas:

•         Use a better technique for obtaining the path to the application data folder;

•         Improve the information provided to the user during the simulator connection experience;

•         Catch exceptions generated by SimConnect during Simulator shutdown that would otherwise crash the client;

•         General support for MyTraffic 6, including airline and logo updates;

•         The user aircraft, when listed on the board, is now subject to the same "Delayed Flight" criteria as AI aircraft (for board informational purposes)

•         Changes to the UT2 interpretation engine to address the issue of UT2 traffic getting stuck on a cancelled/deleted/re-spawn loop.

•         STB Simulator Plugin rebuilt to use SimConnect SP2/Acceleration Pack;

•         Notify user when FSX Steam Edition side by side is detected;

•         Improve user guide descriptions of:

o   Setting up STB on a separate computer to FSX;

o   Locating STB folders;

o   Enabling a support trace;

•         Upgrade SQLite to R102;

•         Upgrade MakeRwys to 4.6.9.2;

 

Procedure

To install the update, simply extract it from the zip file and run it, following instructions presented to you on-screen.  The update will verify your current installation is suitable to be upgraded.  The update will recognise most previous STB for FSX V3 installations and updates, but may fail to recognise a hotfix that is installed through direct DLL replacement.  If the updater advises you it cannot be applied, please contact us for further assistance using the details below.

Note the updates may take some time to complete, however a progress bar will keep you informed of progress.

 

SuperTrafficBoard Data Server

If you use STB on a separate computer to FSX, you require the SuperTrafficBoard Data Server (STB-DS) application on your FSX computer.  A new version of STB-DS is required to operate with STB V3.2.1.15, STB-DS V3.2.1.15.

Download from here: http://bit.ly/2MFOHuc

Please uninstall your current STB-DS before proceeding to install the new version.
