Announcement Packages, GSX integration and much more are now available in the latest (0.5.3) version of Cabby! Please read the full post for more information.

Changes​

Packages 📦​

Packages are a new feature that allows you to import static announcement files - audio/video - to your flight. You can use one of the community packages or create your own. The packages can be used for boarding, safety demonstration, or any other purpose you can think of. Please follow the documentation to learn more about packages and how to use or create them.

GSX integration 🔈​

You can now enable GSX integration in the settings. This will allow you to detect newly created state - BOARDING - automatically.

New general settings ⚙️​

Display ICAO codes instead of IATA on all summary pages​

If enabled, the ICAO codes will be displayed instead of IATA codes on all summary pages. Originally, IATA codes are used for the airport to provide a more passenger-like experience.

Save languages choice across all flights​

By default, the language is set depending on the origin/destination airport country. If you enable this setting, the language will be saved across all flights, regardless of the countries you are flying to/from.

Flight stage detection update 🔍​

The flight stage detection has been improved. Now, the flight stage will be detected more accurately. You can find more details in the documentation.

More flight languages 🌍​

You can now choose up to 3 languages for your flight. The languages will be used in the order you set them.

Save some metadata for your flights 📝​

By default, Cabby will propose origin/destination city name and airline name. It uses the IATA codes to fetch this data from Cabby's database. If you want to override this data, you can now do it by entering the city name and airline name manually. This data will be saved for future flights for the same origin/destination airport and airline.

Preview of community voices 🙍​

You can now listen to the community voices before installing them.

X-Plane data fetching update ✈️​

A new set of X-Plane "ref" variables is now used for fetching data. That means flight stage detection will be more accurate.

Summary​

This update brings a lot of new features and improvements. We hope you will enjoy them. If you have any questions or feedback, please let us know in the Discord. Enjoy your flights! 🛫
