Ok, I immediately had an idea after I sent this. I have my code to an auxiliary board for testing. This board ONLY has the LED on it. So I decided to comment all of the other execution (loop) code out and test it, and everything worked fine... I guess NOT having the other components on the board while it is running causes issues and the air refuel was the last in the array. So when the loop hit a bunch of switches that did not return anything it halted.

[PARTIALLY RESOLVED] I am trying to learn the readout of the serial connect screen. I have an issue where it keeps disconnecting. For context, I am using a servo output to control the intensity of an LED based on a knob position. It works for a bit then stops. The freeze happens even if there is no LED in the mega board so not sure this is some sort of voltage issue. The code: DcsBios::ServoOutput priConsolesBrtKnb(F_16C_50_PRI_CONSOLES_BRT_KNB_A, led_backlight, 544, 2400); Where led_backlight Is pin 13 and that pin is a 220 resistor into an LED terminating into the ground. The last few lines: AIR_REFUEL_LIGHT_KNB 3601 FORM_L> 2025/02/05 13:02:41.000438377 length=70 from=1274 to=1343 UUUU....F-.... L....9 1.0-3.7442.08853.3194.E.....E.. a .E...E....r. Not sure if anything I am saying makes sense or if any of what I am sharing is useful. I guess ultimately, before concerning myself with if this is a best practice for the back lighting (yes I know the air refuel knob is not back lighting but it was the knob that the error occurred on) and before figuring out error specifics, what causes the system to just stop like that?

Interesting idea, I will start researching that, thanks!

I have been starting my panel designs but I wanted to figure out lighting before I get too far. Ultimately I am concerned about and have only found a few small instructions on where to start. TL:DR I want my F16 Internal Lighting panel to effect the real world LED's for each of my panels. I need to figure out if I am able to get that data and if I can how to send that out to each of the panels. I may be over simplifying the process as well. But while I am able to use BORT to get switches to work, this is a little more advanced for my limited knowledge on the subject.

I am curious what throttle and stick will fit in this with all the proper panels in the proper layout?

So, I really want to be one of those people that build a cool cockpit and being that I have first hand experience with the Viper, I think I would do a pretty good job! Problem is that I just simply do not have the budget. So I figured I would use an El Gato Stream Deck for hot keys. It wasn't enough so I made icons for some of them and figured I would share them and the PSD in case anyone wants to use them.

I feel like I saw somewhere that the flight model is due some updates as well. It is a little over-reactive to weapon release.
