Is there a way to "monitor" the state of switches/knobs/buttons in this game?
-
We can reverse the subject just to find a temporary solution. The key is:
Does exist a reachable falcon 4 database with all the “preset” button positions for every ramp start,taxyway, runway, Instant action, tac. engagement, dogfight campaign modes etc.?
If yes, the 99% of the job is done, just read that database for the mision you are are going to fly and sync your buttons before to start the mission.I´m almost sure the database exist in any way not sure if readable from the operating system.
Any help over there ?

maybe u can try dig out WDP.
before i use it, some info about HUD & MFD stored in myname.ini, but they only apply after “load” from MFD>>DTE page.
after using WDP, i dont need to “load” them any more, every time i jump in cockpit, all switch ready( i dont run WDP every time). -

now that 4.33 is out, I want to ask that exact same question again in hope that there is now a new flightdata.h section or equivalent in place where i can read the current state of a switch in the sim.
checking the switches on startup (ramp or “in the air”) doesn’t help for every situation. desync can also occure for example with magnet-switches like jfs or autopilot in flight (for jfs not really “in flight” :-)) as well. -
i had a look at the flightdata.h file and I found at least the bits for the magnet-switches to determine whether jfs or ap is active or not.
