MCE.INI - Homecockpit

[BerndB 349]

Gerald, i have set the option in the ini file for using a hardware cockpit to 1 (active). But i wonder what this exactly doing or not.

Well, it would have been cool if an holographic FO would materialise on the right seat, and serve the switches, but that wasn´t the case, so what is this option doing or hibernate of actions by MCE.

That would be awesome... Sorry, end of off-topic.

HaHa ha 🙂 "Holographic FO".

The option influences which items FO is going to ignore, with the assumtion that anything that requires a strong physical action (as opposed to setting say "ALT HOLD") should not be tampered with so that the hardware switch doesn't go out of synch with the switch state in VC.

Exceptions are the flaps and gear as some users have motorised levers for these.

Option was introduced last year.

Thank you Gerald for put some light on it.😁
