I have modified Dendarian's Alpha and Bravo json profiles to make the "Gear" and "Auto Pilot" Leds functional. I also made changes to some of the warning indicators. Starter Engaged and Low Volts extinguished and Door now functional.
Dendarian's XML file and pdf for control and axis defaults remain valid except for my following changes.
Alpha
Button 1 now resets VC pan
Button 2 disengages all AP modes currently set
Button 3 Sets spoilers to "Taxi" mode and also enables "Steering" switch
Button 4 Sets spoilers to "Flight" mode
Bravo
Flap Switch "Up" release "Down" Set Park Brake
Auto Pilot Switches remain the same but I have made many changes to the way these are programmed. IAS, ALT and VS can't be engaged together (as far as Led indications go). Same goes for HDG, NAV and APP. Due to limitations in being able to read AP mode, back from the MJC8Q400 aircraft, the sim pilot needs to keep an eye on the VC panel to keep AP mode and Led indications correctly aligned with the aircraft's panel. Eg: On climbing to the "selected altitude" in IAS mode the PFD will change from IAS to ALT and begin maintaining level flight but the Bravo's AP IAS Led will remain lit until the ALT button is pressed.
V2 offers a choice of throttle programming. Original Dendarian styled around engine starting or my preference for cockpit lighting. Read the documentation.
