This is an intermediate update — the PMDG 737 is not yet included — but it introduces major behind-the-scenes improvements that make TFM smoother, more stable, and ready for what’s next.
Highlights
Auto-Update System
TFM can now check for and install updates directly from within the program. This means no more manual downloads — future updates can be applied automatically when they become available.
New Licensing System
Licensing has been completely rebuilt for better reliability and security.
- Licences now use a secure system fingerprint to prevent tampering or misuse.
- Expiry dates are automatically normalised across time zones, eliminating early or late “licence expired” warnings.
- Moving TFM between devices is easier: just re-authorise when prompted.
- Legacy users (6.3.2 and earlier) will be guided through one-time reauthorisation when updating.
This change ensures licences are more stable and easier to manage for everyone.
ILS System Rebuilt
The ILS detection and announcement system has been completely redesigned.
- Now works independently of aircraft systems and no longer requires approach mode to be armed.
- Supports ILS, RNAV, LOC and other approach types.
- Clearer, more reliable announcements with new hotkeys for toggling and position readouts.
- Announcements now stop automatically on touchdown.
This brings much more accurate and flexible approach information for all pilots.
FMC and Stability Improvements
The PMDG 777 now reads incoming FMC messages when the annunciator lights. TFM is also more stable when switching aircraft and handles MSFS or FSUIPC disconnects more gracefully.
Logging Overhaul
The logging system has been rewritten from the ground up.
- Cleaner, session-based logs in JSON format.
- Easier troubleshooting and improved performance.
- Reduced duplicate entries and unnecessary debug spam.
