IC check - please exclude the ControlsIndicator.lua

[Qnnrad]

Hi,
I am a creator of transparent controls indicators mods that have over 5k downloads (summarized), and I am coming after a year break to DCS to find out that my mods don't pass the IC check any more.

I'm talking about file (location, example for F/A-18C): Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Cockpit\Scripts\ControlsIndicator.lua

I don't understand why the Controls Indicator.lua was added to IC check, since it doesn't alter capabilities of the airframe, and is just a pop-up visual interpretation of current controls inputs, which provides a useful feedback for non-FFB controllers.
Thanks to my mods it does it in way that blends with the rest of the screen and better works for immersion.

Please allow modifications of this file to pass the IC check.

Could you make one precise trimming Controls Indicator for the F-15E?  Thanks  TC

Because they'd rather kill off the modding community than embrace it. Easier just to blanket IC everything than come up with some kind of more robust anti-cheat system.

Are the modifications of this file still unable to pass the IC check?

Yes, please exclude this (and crew status indicators) from IC checks.

And exports in general!
