Syncing lights without changing aircraft profiles

[AstroEma]

Hello all. Just received my PTO2 and had the same inquiry with the PTO and WW panels in general before this one. Never found a solution but to just forget about it.

I want to use the Sync feature for the PTO2 and the Combat Ready Panel to sync the lights with the plane.
 
Problem is that for that function to work, you need to change aircraft in SimAppPro: the issue with that is that I use a customized monitor.lua file which exports MFDs for most of the planes and therefore don’t change profiles within SimAppPro. 
Has anyone figured out how to get the light synced for different planes without changing profiles? 
 

ie. red Landing Gear light while in transition, Hook Light, Landing gear (3 greens) lights etc etc.

Pretty sure you must change profiles to resync or just sync to one of the rotarys.

Thanks for your reply. Right, I feared there was no way around this.

I sync all my backlights to an axis

Are the lights meant to sync with the F18 only through sync? I just heard this from someone on Facebook. Not for any other plane. 

 

But also found this file here which is meant to export states from DCS to the PTO, PTR and MIP panels. I am guessing there's something wrong in this file and manipulating this file to add additional states through the dcs_ids could improve the lighting sync for all the aircraft. All this is way over my head though.

Depends on whether  WW has configured it within Simappro

give a look at the attached file. It is meant to be modified apparently. it sits here:
