Profiles

Profiles

Profiles provide a way to group related input and output configurations together inside a project. They are typically used to group configurations for a controller, or specific panel on an airplane.

Profile view

The profile view lists the configurations contained in a profile.

The columns display the following information:

Name Description
Active A toggle switch that controls whether the configuration is active. To disable a row, turn off the toggle switch.
Name / Description The name and description for the configuration.
Controller The device, game controller component, or MIDI device input assigned to the configuration.
Device The specific component on the controller assigned to the input or output.
Status Icons indicating the status for the configuration. The exclamation point icon lights up when the configuration is disabled due to a precondition. The bottle icon lights up when the configuration has test mode enabled. The referenced configs icon lights up when referenced configurations are not available.
Raw Value Displays the raw input or output value. For output configurations, this is the value received from the simulator before applying any assigned modifiers.
Final Value Displays the final input or output value. For output configurations, this is the value for display after applying any assigned modifiers.

Actions The actions menu includes items to Edit, Rename, Delete, Duplicate, and Test the configuration
