Describe the bug

When enabling the GSX integration, the Chocks & Cones buttons from the Sim options settings page, does not actually visually disable the buttons. You cannot click them, but I believe, similar to how users get confused why they cannot activate fuel or control the payload due to the GSX integration; some users may be confused why they can't turn on this setting, due to the integration.

Expected behavior

The buttons disable when the GSX integration is activated.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Activate GSX integration
  2. Enter the Sim Options page
  3. See Chocks and Cones buttons

I believe this was fixed with #8405 (at least the chocks & cones)? Cannot test it by myself as I don't own GSX.

I would hope so too 😅

Well, both Settings (Chocks & Cones) are not disabled anymore at all. They are not tied anymore to either GSX Sync Option because such Ground-Equipment doesn't really have anything to do with changing Weight & Balance in accordance to / in sync with GSX. GSX just requires the Plane to be secured before a Service is called (in the Sense of can not move). So either the Parking Brake or the Chocks need to be set for GSX "to be happy". That Change addressed that: GSX will detect if the FBW Chocks are set and you can continue consuming GSX Services with the freedom to actually release the Brake (e.g. for better Cooling)!

This is still replicable, in fact you the buttons do not get disabled at all now. I will see if I can get it fixed.
