|1= Currently the entire -set.xml is overlaid on the property tree. I would extend this with additional overlays based on some ‘phase of flight value’, where the values are - cold-and-dark - pre-takeoff - cruise - approach It’s interesting to note the difference between ‘cold-and-dark’ and ‘pre-takeoff’ is essentially the same as what the existing auto-start functionality does in most aircraft. But this would simply be a set of property values. For anything which requires Nasal, I guess the aircraft scripts would have to check the value of /sim/presets/phase-of-flight and adjust things accordingly. (And there’s presumably lots of complexity there) I need input from aircraft authors on how feasible this is, of course. But the usability pay-off is potentially huge; standardised auto-start, nice in-air starts, easier setup of training configs. | |||
