Nice code Paul,
I like the pseudo 'class' usage in Lua.
Very interesting.

I checked some variable names against the older version, and those are completely different. So I'm not sure how much 1:1 this can be handled.

Attached is an overview of all (generic and local) variables and events I have used on my instruments. Might give you a head start on the conversion.

I'm not really concerned about the variables at this point, I'm more concerned about the events / setting switches and such. I think that's the biggest problem.

I don't have the Twotter, but based on that list and how Aerosoft built the CRJ, many standard SDK events won't work and will require reading / setting LVARs for even simple things like fuel pumps or lights that normally have standard events.

I'm afraid so. Tomorrow I will send the developer an email. I hope that he will be cooperative.

These are things that are definitely in the developers interest one would think. It HAS to add customers for him as someone may only want it IF they can use an AM premium panel.
