Someone asked this on the Discord and may or may not be answered for In the Hangar 6.
Hello, I'm trying to develop this one

Probably best to discuss whether this should go in the EFB (my initial preference) or the MCDU before going too far.

I second this, the EFB would be the best place IMO.
yes, you right.
Anyway I mainly use this one as a first development to discover how to develop on the plane.
Both are fine for me
In the end it's probably best to have the logic separated so that the implementation in either the MCDU or EFB is "just the UI". If possible of course as I'm not quite sure which access to what is needed exactly :D
@tracernz when you say "my inital preference" which page are you talking about ?
I mean I am inclined to prefer doing it on the EFB, but I can be swayed by a good argument for doing it on the MCDU.
@tracernz I agree with you that the EFB seems to be a good place to have that option and keep the MCDU for "real" features
Settings page is already quiet full. Maybe a new tab called "aircraft" for everything touching aircraft configuration.
IMO the FMC should be 100% as the real one with no sim settings or nothing in, then the EFB should handle anything sim related even IRS align speed.

Thats the plan
One of my wishes that touches upon this feature, is not settable states as such, but a setting that allows the aircraft to remember its state between sessions.
When I return/load the aircraft, it should be as I left it in terms of configuration, knobs, lights, switches etc.
I think this can be easily done by either saving out a current-state.flt that is loaded instead of the normal one, if this setting i activated.
