Describe the bug Using DCS-BIOS to control the armaments panel doesn't work as expected. Using arm-master (device ID 2 - electrical system) works as expected, but any control with device ID 6 (weapons system) does not work.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: using DCS-BIOS command reference, toggle master arm and anhy weapons station switch. Master arm will toggle between 0 and 1, station switches will not.

Expected behavior toggle station switch should toggle corresponding switch in cockpit.

reporting this bug to DCS-BIOS might be a better idea, i am not sure what we can do about it.

It's more for awareness, i've logged a fault with DCS-BIOS aswell. I spent a long time working out it wan't working, might save someone some time if they are trying to achieve the same thing.

I'll keep fault finding and report findings here and on DCS-BIOS.

Any news on this? I have encountered the same bug and can add some information. i feel it is an issue with the communication between the plane in dcs world and dcs bios. The values in dcs bios change when the switches are activated in game. but clicking the toggle button in dcs bios for the controls does not activate them in game. Hope that makes sense and helps.

DCS-BIOS Version: v0.10.0+64

update. was wiring up another panel this one being the afcs panel. and same issue. dcs bios cant seem to execute 98 or 99% of the commands.
