To Clarify, Those switches are primarily used to provide clear clickspot and tooltip information. At the time the aircraft was developed, we did not have a robust clipboard or tablet system, so we needed a simple way to show users which PMS or TDS avionics package was installed. That functionality is also deeply integrated into the aircraft’s backend avionics deconfliction. The switch helps ensure that multiple avionics packages do not remain active and interfere with one another. I understand that the implementation may not appeal to everyone, but the switches themselves are not fictional. On the real Aeroprakt A-32, the factory provides two spare switch and fuse positions for optional equipment when panel space allows. They are intended for owner-installed accessories such as additional lighting, avionics, or other electrical equipment. Because the remaining switches on the panel already correspond to real aircraft functions, those two spare positions were the logical place for us to add MSFS-specific features. Visually, the switches are realistic and reflect the factory panel. Their assigned functions are less traditional, since our team deliberately used them for convenience features aimed at the average simulator user. Assigning them to avionics selection and headphone simulation allows the user to flick a physical switch rather than navigating through several additional clickspots or referencing a notepad. If the main concern was that the switches were invented for the addon, rest assured that they are real spare switch positions found on the aircraft. Their presence should not detract from the visual authenticity of the cockpit. That said, I understand if you disagree with how we chose to use them. However, those switches will remain in their current roles for the foreseeable future because we do not currently need them for additional equipment, electrical circuits, or system upgrades. If two new systems are added in a future update, their functionality may change to support those systems instead. That is ultimately what the factory intended them to be: auxiliary switches reserved for owner-selected upgrades and additional equipment.
