Tips related to new changes around electrical and lights management introduced since ZiboMod 3.53.nn

Seeing there's still currently mixed issue, around panel and instruments brightness management in the Z_2D_XP instruments set, I've decided to go ahead with a better idea and created this visual mapping as memo and reference. So, still eventually some reworking in the Z_2D_XP set, to make the overall coherent and synced ...
Here's a quick reference map showing which and where the electrical/lights/brightness datarefs are currently used in the ZiboMod.
I made an in deep testing in both ways : from Air Manager and from the 3D cockpit. Just take in account 3 indexes through the overall (INOP labels in red under the sliders, on the screenshot) are currently INOP and unaffected : no visual change other than rotating knobs in the 3D cockpit, or moving the related AM sliders, when acting from the 3D cockpit
Related datarefs :
Code: Select all
"laminar/B738/electric/instrument_brightness","FLOAT[27]",
"laminar/B738/electric/panel_brightness","FLOAT[4]",
"laminar/B738/electric/generic_brightness","FLOAT[128]",
"laminar/B738/lights_sw","FLOAT[250]", -- READONLY for this last one targeting switches!!!

Hi,
what exactly is Z_2D_XP .. Little if any information yet I have seen the term mentioned a couple of times. Thanks.

Indeed Joe, I should have mentioned already from the start, something which was always looking obvious to ... perhaps only me :
through "Z_2D_XP",
- Z is for "Zibo" instruments
- 2D because it's not 3D, thus external to the flight sim and displayed by Air Manager as 2D parts
- XP due to X-Plane environment only, until "Zibo" ports its addon somewhere else ... which may very well never occurs

PS : here's some of the already published of instruments I've build in my Z_2D_XP instruments set :
