Good Morning, as Sebastian is the creator of Mobiflight I would like to ask him if it if possible to differentiate between Buttons (which I class as momentary) and switches (which I class as permanent, that is until the switch is changed), This would help me and quite possibly a lot of other people, maybe this can't be done, but I am sure with your expertise that it can and I would find this enormously helpful in my quest to build a Cessna cockpit for either a 152 or 172, both the ones without glass cockpits.

Many thanks both for Mobiflight and your continued future developement..

Hi

Feel free to ask Sebastian ( DocMoebius) . Best way is talk to him on our DISCORD Server..... He not read this forum very often and only acts to postings here if we aleart him to do.
On Discord you can talk to him directly ! LINK to Discord : https://discord.gg/99vHbK7

BUT

As i wrote in the other Topic.... https://www.mobiflight.com/forum/topic/6540.html
This is no Feature we will implement in case it make fully no sense.
Electrical there exist no momentary Button or Switch..... Both are a simple ON-OFF Systems and work same way.

It make no sense to split them into 2 Device-Typs in MF.... Cause both would look and work same way.... Both would use the same UI Formulas.... So they are 100% identical !

May you got a thinking blockade or a understanding problem.... I will help you. Feel free to ask here again or call me on discord.
OR
I have a understanding Problem..... Then please explane me the advantage to split these things !

Good Luck !
