The updater manifest is signed in latest.json. The public installer is not Authenticode-signed yet, so Windows may show an unknown-publisher warning until code signing is added.

The DMI-style dashboard and Live Weather Sync are Train Sim World 6-only — every other supported game gets the controller mapper, device tools, and custom dashboards.
