Release notes

• Try Pro free for 14 days. Open Pro, choose "Try Pro free for 14 days", enter an email address and confirm the link in the email. No key and no payment details. The trial runs for 14 days from its first activation, on up to three computers. Buying with the same email address turns the trial into the license; the computers stay activated.
• Activate with your email. Enter the email address of your purchase and confirm the link. "Activate with key" still works.
• Settings and profiles come over from Free. At its first start Pro copies your FFB-Bridge Free settings and profiles. Settings → Local data can bring them over later.
• Rudder pedals: a Pedals page, and forces for every aircraft. Each pedal force has its own switch, strength and curve, with "Try it for 5 s". 1,101 aircraft have their own pedal values; the others use the values of their aircraft class. Helicopter profiles have anti-torque feel and pedals that stay where you put them. Pedals are set up, started and stopped from the page. Shown for the Brunner FFB-G Rudder; a force the pedals cannot produce is marked as such.
• Pedal forces keep their update rate with a saved profile. With a saved profile, pedal commands dropped to about 15 a second. They now run at about 100.
• Pro License page. Email activation is on the page as well as in the activation window. When a trial has ended, the page offers Buy Pro.

• New Lights page for MOZA bases. Click a light on the photograph of your base or grip to edit it; Ctrl+click adds another. The page works in four steps: which lights, what they show normally, when they change, and trying it out. You can set one button, a row of four, all eight buttons or a grip light. One brightness and one "Use these lights while armed" switch apply to the whole base.
• More things a light can follow. A change can now follow 69 simulator states, up from 41. Twenty of them are numbers compared with a value you choose, such as airspeed, height above ground, altitude, vertical speed, G load, fuel remaining, wind speed, outside air temperature, visibility and distance to the next waypoint. Ready-made sets add the usual changes for landing gear, warnings, autopilot and parking brake in one click.
• Try it. Switch one or more states on and the photograph shows what each light will do. A five-second test shows the selected lights on the base and then returns the base's own lighting.
• AB6 buttons light both LEDs. Each AB6 button has two LEDs. A button set on its own could show its colour on one LED only, and after a light test or Disarm the base could be left with one LED lit per button. Every button now shows its colour on both LEDs, whether you set one button or a whole row.
• AB6 lights keep up with changes. After about twelve changes in a minute, lights could wait up to a minute before the next change and leave a button half lit. That limit is removed.
• Saved lighting carries over. Lighting saved in earlier versions opens on the new page with the same colours and changes, moved onto the individual buttons.
• Autopilot following on a routed yoke or stick. With the control routed through FFB-Bridge, the yoke could move less than 1% of its travel under the autopilot. A routed control now follows at full authority on every device. Tested on a routed AY210 in X-Plane and MSFS.
• Brunner pedals keep their forces after a short stall. In 1.0.3 a pause of the PC longer than a tenth of a second could switch the pedal forces off for the rest of the session while the yoke stayed armed. The pedals now rest during the stall and take up their forces again when it ends.
• Faster start with saved routing or pedal setup. With a single MOZA base attached, FFB-Bridge no longer reopens the base at start, which took about 13 seconds.

• Updated Microsoft-signed Windows drivers. Control Router 2.0.0.7, native force observer 1.0.0.6 and input owner 1.0.0.5, for Windows 10 build 19044 or later and Windows 11. They correct device isolation and ownership handling for routed controllers. Setup updates them in place over 1.0.2.

• Individual MOZA lighting controls. Set colours and flight-state rules for individual AB6 buttons and supported grip lights.
• Expanded lighting rules. Added conditions including gear up, airborne, reverse thrust, parking brake, autopilot modes, aircraft lights and master caution/warning.
• More reliable lighting previews. Fixed previews that could stall communication and trigger a watchdog stop. Zero-brightness previews now correctly show the lights as off.
• Cleaner X-Plane control assignments. Generated routing profiles clear duplicate assignments for routed axes, preventing physical and virtual controls from competing for the same function.
• Brunner pedal setup improvements. Improved restoration of saved profile-stiffness settings on compatible firmware, while detecting changed pedal capabilities.
• Improved Linux sign-in storage. Pro can use the desktop keyring directly when the separate secret-tool utility is unavailable.
• Clearer Controls status. More useful explanations when an input or force mode is not ready.

FFB-Bridge Pro 1.0.1 adds Windows 10 routing support, expands MOZA hardware controls and improves routed stick, yoke and pedal operation.

• Windows 10 and Windows 11 drivers. The updated Microsoft-signed routing, input-owner and native force-observer drivers support Windows 10 build 19044 or later and Windows 11. Setup avoids long scans of unrelated driver files and handles an already-installed matching observer package correctly.
• Independent device routing. Stop routing on a stick, yoke or pedal card releases that device while keeping the other routes and pedal preparation intact. The top-level action is labelled Stop all routing. Startup remembers the routes left enabled.
• SideWinder stationary input and re-arm. Fixed unexpected force stops while a routed SideWinder Force Feedback 2 is held still and the resulting re-arm failures. Armed operation no longer polls the PID Pool feature; existing successful force writes provide transport-continuity evidence.
• Routed autopilot and trim. Corrected the common routed-stick/yoke input conversion to preserve held pilot input when the force centre changes and account for motor-commanded movement. Trim geometry is separated from the hardware force centre. Routed MSFS AP Follow uses aircraft control-surface data and the routed authority setting. The existing direct MOZA firmware path is unchanged.
• Routing transitions and pedals. Improved device association at route start, input-mode transitions, datum acknowledgement and pedal input continuity to prevent false force stops during normal changes. Routing failures now include more useful diagnostic detail.
• MOZA travel controls. AB6, AB9 and AY90 gain the travel-limit controls previously limited to AY210, including directional stops, inversion and centre offsets. Session travel settings apply while Armed and the base's previous values return on Disarm. Try stops provides a timed manual check. The Travel display shows both the reported simulator input and an estimated physical-control position, with live updates while the page is open.
• Expanded MOZA force and handle settings. More AB9 force settings and the AY90 force editor are available. Controls adds supported mini-stick modes and mapping, triggers, five-way switches, grip-removal protection, AY210 flap-switch timing and AB6/AB9 pedal-module settings.
• MOZA lighting. Added MHG status/button-light controls, AY90 Backlight/Left/Right targets and AY210 landing-light behaviour for gear up and gear moving. Firmware-dependent handle features are offered only when supported.
• MOZA calibrations. The grouped, scrollable Calibrate dialog adds cogging calibration for all four bases, pitch-friction calibration for AY210/AY90 and supported MFY, MFY Pro and MHG handle-control calibrations. Cogging requests use the corrected MOZA command layout.
• SideWinder Controls illustration. The Controls page uses the actual SideWinder image and individual live control markers with matching table rows.
• More complete localization. Added translations across Live Dashboard, MOZA Base, Black Box, Controls, Voice Control, profile history/recovery, search and Cockpit Web. Dialog Back labels use the correct navigation wording. The manual chooser lists all published Pro manual languages.
• Theme correction. Advanced Tuning curves redraw immediately when switching between light and dark themes.
• Shared improvements. Includes the shared AP Follow override button, clearer Tuning resets, MOZA control-edge and connection fixes, aircraft integration, device-arrival handling and diagnostic improvements described in Free 1.6.7.

Hardware and simulator qualification remains specific to the combinations recorded in the release evidence; this release does not claim universal AP/trim or calibration qualification.

The first stable FFB-Bridge Pro release brings aircraft-aware force feedback, local voice tuning, Cockpit Companion, profile recovery and Black Box flight review together for Microsoft Flight Simulator and X-Plane.

Controls and hardware

• Guided routing and illustrated binding sheets help set up sticks, yokes and pedals, with live input highlights and simulator assignment suggestions.
• Copy existing simulator assignments through a guided review workflow. Copies in MSFS 2024 and X-Plane 12 retain their assignments after simulator restart.
• MOZA app assignments are clearly separated from simulator assignments and use the shared hardware maps. AY210 switches and MFY mini-stick mode displays have been corrected.
• AB6 lighting supports both strips together or separately, with a base preview.
• Improved device startup detection, routing retries and MOZA Arm transitions. Routed autopilot/trim follow uses Bridge's input conversion and native forces.

Flight feel and profiles

• EC135 profiles use a quiet cyclic feel with trim-controlled centre resistance and optional brief rotor-startup and vortex cues.
• Includes additional aircraft starter profiles and the shared simulator and hardware improvements developed during the release-candidate period.
• Local Voice Tune and Feel Assistant, profile history/recovery, and detailed Black Box force review are included.

Cockpit and performance

• Responsive Fly, Aircraft, Tune, Compare and Profiles layouts for desktop, tablet and phone, with more compact actions and improved use of space.
• Voice models release when voice is disabled. Black Box loads its map on demand and releases hidden map resources after 15 seconds while retaining the view for the next visit.
• Improved map rendering, input labels, translations and release caching.

Known limitations

• Some hardware and simulator combinations still need broader physical testing. An intermittent routed autopilot Safety Stop remains under investigation.
• Map interaction can temporarily increase memory use; further optimization is planned. Additional hardware-map coverage and documentation will follow.
