    Note

    This is mutually exclusive with the Start Minimized option. Only one or the other may be enabled.

  • Start Minimized (Global, Master Only)

    • When enabled, TelemFFB will start with its main window visible, but minimized to the taskbar.

    Note

    This is mutually exclusive with the Start in System Tray option. Only one or the other may be enabled.

  • Closing App Sends to Tray (Global, Master Only)

    • When enabled, pressing the window close button will simply minimize the application to the system tray.

    • You can fully exit TelemFFB from the System menu or from the right-click context menu on the system tray icon.

    • When enabled, TelemFFB will remember where the window was positioned the last time it was run and restore the window to that same position

  • Restore Last Tab View

    • When enabled, TelemFFB will remember the window size for each tab the last time it was run. It will also restore these sizes and remember the last tab that was viewed the last time it was run.

  • VPForce Configurator Profiles

    • Define a profile to load on TelemFFB startup and/or exit

  • Restore Startup Gains on Exit

    • When enabled, TelemFFB re-pushes the gain values it read from the device at startup when it exits, leaving the device as it was found. Disabled by default.

See VPforce Configurator Integration for how these interact with per-aircraft profiles and gain overrides.
