Thanks a lot for this big effort!!!

Just some critisim: In terms of falcon bms.cfg
My customers would kill me if I would build installers that completely reset user config files for just adding 2 lines or changing 3 existent values
so instead of complete overwritting a cfg file that is intended to be customized by the user I would advise to build the installer in order to add/edit parameters instead of completely replace it
I already answered at least 20 people on differrent channels why their display extraction is not working anymore. So most don’t read the instructions by the book.
Even worth with setting that might have been made by 3rd party to the cfg and the user has even harder time to find the root cause. i.e Having set multiple POV hats by AL

Fair point, I brought this discussion up. We’ll see.

Hopefully as that issue can be achived at no cost/effort in a much user friendly way

Speaking of the moving stick. I always thought it moved just very slightly, barely visible. But in-game it moves rather much. Is that deliberate and a realistic representation?

Alternative suggestion: instead of overwriting, rename the old one. falconbmscfg.old
Leave merge decisions up the end user.
I’m not a big fan of trying to make it foolproof, if only because there is always a better fool. Still, you could make it explicit: Have the new one added with the wrong extension, so you have a cfg.new and a cfg.old and warn the user on start that they need to merge and rename.
So there’s a few ways you could go about it that would avoid people getting stuck on display extraction stuff.

Difficult to tell but pretty close I would say.

My “simple” solution to config file management for both BMS and DCS is git - easy to do diffs from git too and merge things back in.

I personally run my whole BMS installation under git. But still the way BMS updates cfg changes is not the way I would be done in a proper way in software distribution process.

For sure. I was just suggesting ways for workarounds for users.
