AAO 4.54 build 08 has been uploaded to the shops just now. Please give them a couple of hours to deploy it.

This fixes the problem that InputEvents (IE:) would not work with MSFS 2020

Awesome, thanks, will try it this afternoon with the Fenix A320

Just tried installing this and Windows 10 built-in AV is blocking it (LorbyAxisAndOhs_Install_MSFS.exe) due to "Win32/DefenceEvasion.A!ml - This program is dangerous and executes commands from an attacker".

I've been using AAO for years and never seen an AAO update blocked before.

I've just tested dragging the MSFS2020 exe installer from 4.52.b39 and 4.53.b19 from the zip to the desktop and they're both fine, whereas doing the same with 4.54.b08 it's an instant block/quarantine.

I've also tried to drag all the other exe installers (MSFS24, Xplane, etc) from 4.54.b08 to the desktop and they are all fine, so it's just the MSFS2020 installer that's affected.

My download source is JustFlight.

It is quite normal that a new executable creates false positives. The warning usually goes away when enough people start using it.

I just downloaded the ZIP from JustFlight myself (I had to buy my own product for this 🙂  ), extracted it and had Defender check the installer, then executed it - no issues.

Edit: repeated the same on another computer using Norton Security - again, no issues whatsoever.
