Hello,

i want to keep this brief. one year ago I finished my university studies, since then i was deeply involved in my job I took last year in September. I always thought of advancing this tool further like I've planned. Also I felt like letting all of you hanging, who use this program. A few people even asked for the sources so that they can develop it further. Now I finally see a possibility to get to this project again. It probably will take me another month but then I finally can work on this again.

My main goals:

Core Upgrades -Add support for new FS2020 features (New Variables, New Interfaces) -Add support for text output (If I recall correctly that never worked and would be great for specific displays) -Checking core functionalities for errors / possible additions -Adding support for Network -Adding support for Logging and exporting of data

Future proving -Making necessary changes / code cleanups for going open source => Note on that: I'm still not completely certain if I go open source (It's difficult to let go of ones baby) but I think it's probably the best idea long-term.

General improvements -open issues and other stuff -Maybe a name change? Not sure about that yet

I hope the program still remains in a somewhat usable state and still brings some joy to you using it In any case I wish you all the best and a calm mind in these uncertain times.

Awesome. I've been using this for 6-months and love it. So far i have 7 Arduinos connected running 3 gauges, 3 switch panels and an elevator trim wheel. Currently working on a fuel gauge and radio modules using 2 more Arduinos. I dont think i could have done it without this program.

It is really cool, easy to use and efficient.

The flight experience has been greatly improved
