No, just a feature request for the installer currently in development.

Describe the feature you'd like to see implemented

I would like for the team to add a QA functionality into the installer, by this I mean a system that will allow users to download individual pull requests directly within the installer, I’ll describe what I had in mind for this below:

References

None required, but I can help envision my idea a bit more clearly if you shoot me a DM.

Additional context

There should be a setting that allows “QA Functionality” This should add a little + button next to Install, with this we should be able to type the # of a pull request and download the pull request directly into our desired folder, this would allow quicker and more efficient testing for the QA team.

I also would like the installer to show which PR you currently have installed for functionality verification purposes.

Installer Version

Describe the bug

When installation is modified, eg. by a Artifact download, the installer wont notice it and displays the version as "Installed".

To Reproduce

1. Change the installation, eg. download a PR
2. Open installer
3. green "Installed" is displayed with dev version even if the installed version is a older one.
4. You have to download the mod manually again to get the current version

Expected behavior

Installer should be able to check something like the checksum to verify correct installation and display a amber "Install"

OR

Make the Install button clickable so it will overwrite it again.

Ask the user if he wants to create a shortcut on the desktop.

Additional context
At the moment, the installer creates a shortcut on the desktop on every launch (if not existing). As I like to have my desktop clean, I am removing this each time I update the A32NX, which is a bit annoying. My Idea is to ask the user if he wants to create one or not. Maybe that could be asked the first time and then saved as a variable, that can be modified in settings menu.

Describe the feature you'd like to see implemented

I'd like to know how many releases I am behind on my installed version and I think discord could be a nice inspiration for that.

My idea is showing a red dot with a number (the amount of releases behind) just like discord.

Adding the amount of updates available (releases behind) on the page selector on the left, for every aircraft
Adding the amount of updates available (releases behind) on the version label/button
Adding the total amount of updates available (releases behind) on the task bar icon

If I am lets say 23 commits (releases) behind developer, I'd want to see a 23 shown in that red circle.

In the example below I am on both 320 and 380 one release behind.

This seems to be the current button or label when the mod is installed.

Maybe add an additional button for a context/dropdown menu
(this example is from steam, it reads PLAY and the arrow next to is opens a drop down menu)

The context menu could also hold an entry with "Report Bug" or "Request Feature" and directly link to the template on github or hold some sort of info window where it could display the build.info content (with copy to clipboard option)

I don't see a button to uninstall the mod (for easier clean install, the user should be able to easily uninstall if he wants to) this could also be added to the context menu

When you select a mod version it would be cool if you could get a description of what is special about that version. For example, for the FBW version, it could say an experimental version of the a32nx that adds a more realistic Flybywire system to the aircraft.

Installer Version

VMaster - Latest

Describe the bug

The detection to check if the game is closed is poor as you can bypass it and install/update whatever version you want with 2 clicks.

To Reproduce

1. Launch MSFS
2. Go in the Installer and then switch to the Home Tab and then back to A32NX very fast.
3. Choose any other version and click Install/Update.

Expected behavior

It should not let you install/update any other version and the detection should be happening while you are switching tabs as well.

Additional Context

Comparing to other icons, our installer has a weird outline/border and it's kind of small.

To Reproduce

1. Search bar
2. Search the installer

It should be transparent in my opinion and bigger.

I am sure this has been actively discussed, but I found it hard to notice which tab I was actually looking at

So what about making the active tab use the light blue color we have.
That would also add some color to the window.

the left color

A bit like discord does, just using our own colors

When changing the version selected, the changelog should also change to that specific one. While we are linking to official changelog with stable version we could link to https://github.com/flybywiresim/a32nx/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aclosed (Closed PRs) with dev version. Same with FBW build.

Highlight the currently used/installed version / or change it's background color.

Currently I have to switch between version to know which version or type I've installed, e.g. whether I've installed a stable version, or a development build.

Yes the installed version is selected on startup and draws the a white outline, but the outline only shows the currently selected version, not the currently installed/used one.

So, if an update arrives, I actually no longer know which version I am actually using (apart from the fact that the launcher selects the currently installed one on startup)

Maybe something like this

A bit like discord does, just using our own colors

Change the heading size of the "Mainline Versions", "Experimental Versions" to match the size of headings like "Details" in the A32NX page of the installer.

Additional context
I believe matching the size of the headings will better represent the point of the installer, it can give the impressions that the details are more important than the downloads. I would suggest either making the "Details" heading smaller or the "Mainline versions" heading larger.
