MobiFlight Community Support

First of all, THANK YOU for sharing this Tool with the rest of the world.
I have started building a Home Cockpit; more work and planing than I thought.
But MobiFlight will save me a lot of time.

In every System, either HW of SW, there is a communication with the user.
Messages (text or lights) convey status with different priorities.
Like S,W,C,I (Severe, Warning, Caution, Information, etc.).

GUI and UE (user experience) dictate that messages should be unambiguous.
e.g. a RED light that indicates a Warning should not be also used for information.
Like an ENGINES fire condition should not be using the same LED as PARKING BRAKES.

There is a currently a similar situation with the MobiFlight GUI.
If you have a Syntax error, a RED exclamation point is raised, that indicates an error.
If you have an inactive 'config' due to a pre-condition, the same RED symbol is displayed. But this is just information.

This situation is kind of confusing when reviewing the long list of active configuration lines.
Would it be possible to change the color and/or the information symbol used when displaying an inactive configuration?
Of course this is not urgent. It would be just nice to get this corrected. Thank you beforehand for your time.

Hi

I personaly also requested this long time ago.
But badly this is a very deep problem and Sebastian was not be able to solve it that time.
I also expect he could simply choose for a other symbol.... But in case of the Code and the GUI on exactly that Collumn there is no posibility to choose for a different icon!
A rework was possible but would need a lot of changes ( Not only click on a diofferent icon and all is fine)
Se we decleare this Problem as "will look on it again in the far future"

BUT!!!!!!

By including the new Logging Window in last 9.3.0 ( and its new symbols and posibilitys) Sebastian said last week that he NOW see a smart solution to also handle this "Red !!" in a better way.

Please stay calm.... Hopefully it is already a feature in the next release. Its definitly on the ToDo List. But as you expect... With a low priority!

Thank you for the information ! Let's wait :-)
