Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Switches and buttons simply don't work with default bindings. There is no connection between MSFS/SimConnect events and the aircraft aside from the base controls.
Describe the solution you'd like
Make use of the events available within the control options in the sim. Do not expect everyone to be LVAR binding. I'm not saying you need 100% coverage, but most other aircraft do respond to basic things like lights, or MCP controls, maybe even the battery and fuel switches.
Describe alternatives you've considered
LVAR's are great, and the MD-11 is very well documented, but only useful to those with external software to utilize them. If you have a hardware package and you simply bind within MSFS only, there may be basic events you use for lights or batteries on some of your buttons that work on everything else on a daily basis.
Additional context
I submitted the original ticket for LVAR coverage (thank you by the way), however that ticket did mention SimConnect+MSFS events and it was closed as "Not planned". Which is odd since we have very robust LVAR's, now I'd like to see the basic bindings as "planned" especially post-release, and any for possible future in the marketplace.
